It might be more expensive than most spas and massage centres, but the Medespa in Shawlands offers a relaxing, sophisticated atmosphere and is staffed by polite and professional beauticians. The massages are good– rather on the efficient than luxurious side, but they have a good range of approaches, as well as having excellent cosmetic advisers. The best thing about this spa is the ambiance: soft lighting, discreet rooms, a sense of well-being is immediately conjured upon entry. It is usually easy to book for a session on the same day, and the staff are more than willing to give great advice.
