Dao Spa

Simple and not pretentious. The staff were helpful and pleasant. Prices were good, especially for central London. I found the downstairs ambience very soothing.

I booked an hour session of Reflexology for my wife today as a surprise for her birthday.
I was very surprised to receive a call from her ten minutes into the session and to hear that the therapist who didnt even bother to introduce herself started the treatment by asking my wife personal questions, criticising her and judging her personal and professional decisions as my wife is also a therapist herself. Needless to say, my wife did not go through with the treatment but decided to leave immediately. We were both shocked by such a behaviour from a healer whos only job is to create a relaxing and enjoyable therapeutic atmosphere for her clients. We will not go back to Dao Spa and definitely wont recommend anyone to go there although we do hope that this one therapist’s behaviour does not indicate about the rest of the staff…

Amen for Unilocal’s pre-​selected star-​giving text, because «meh» is precisely how I feel after a 60-​minute massage at Dao.
This unassuming nail salon also proves to be a quick and easy stop for a cheap and relaxing massage. Nothing fancy and definitely not the place to impress, but since I’m a baller on a budget, (and a stressed one at that,) I have no problem skipping the plush zen spa experience, dropping £50, (and my clothing,) and letting someone work on my back for 65 minutes.
Am I relaxed and rejuvenated? Definitely.
Is this the type of spa experience that I would highly recommend to others? Daotful.
