Soma Laser has been my go-to for glowing skin and laser hair removal, from day one! The Soma therapists are always there to greet you with a smile, but more importantly, they take the time to "walk your journey" with you; whether it be a skin goal you are trying to achieve or a tattoo you are wanting removed. I highly recommend Briony and her amazing team.

I've been on an incredible journey with Soma Laser since last November, thanks to a recommendation from a fellow villager. At the time, my skin was in a terrible state, but Briony took the time to understand my concerns and crafted a personalised treatment plan that fit my budget.

What's more, their latest addition - an in-house blow wave bar - has been a game-changer! It's the perfect way to unwind and pamper myself.

The team at Soma Laser are truly amazing, and I always look forward to my appointments. They've worked wonders on my skin, and my previously unruly brows are now always on their best behavior!
Had my first visit this morning for laser hair removal. The ladies are fantastic, very sweet and professional. Makes you feel very welcome and comfortable. Had a referral from a friend and I'll recommend them as well definitely!

Love Soma Laser, my place to be. Very professional, friendly and helpfull beauty technicians

Had a facial and a pedicure today. This was the most amazing facial. My skin has never looked so good in years.

Everyone is so friendly and the whole experience was soooo relaxing.

Thanks so much to the ladies. I will definitely come again and recommend SOMA Laser & Skincare Clinic to anyone wanting an amazing facial.

Briony, Gladys, Kholo and Jeanné - you girls are simply the best! I have been a loyal client since 2013 and I cannot recommend Soma Laser enough. Pleasant and dedicated staff that give consistent, quality service. Pricing is very reasonable. Thanks for always making me feel special!

Nikki

To my Soma Laser family thank you for year’s worth of excellent service, kindness and professionalism. I have always felt so excited for my new therapies and i have always felt so at home at your salon. Keep up the fantastic work that you always provided. Much love to you all.

I have visited Soma since 2014 when they were still in Lynnwood Road. They then moved to new Muckleneuk which was very convenient for me as this is very close to my house However if they were even moving further away from me I would’ve still visited Soma. Kholo’s friendly service never seems to stop. On top of that, the quality of workmanship, labour and products used are also only the best. Love you guys.

Lisa Greyling

Always super pleased with the treatments I receive. Jeanne, Kulo & Gladys are the best - friendly & professional service.

Heidi Gouws

Great service, super professional staff and very helpful specials! I would absolutely recommend them (already did, in fact).

Olivia Loots

Thank you for your professionalism and outstanding customer service.

You do not easily come across many businesses that treat customers as they should be treated and the SOMA staff are an outstanding example of how to do it, you could write 'the book' on the subject!

I just want to thank Briony, Jeanne, Georgia, and all the staff for your professionalism, unflattering customer service, and expertise on the many effortless trips I made to your clinic.

You are all to be commended for your constant drive to place the customer first at all costs. Thank you!

I had the privilege to visit Soma Laser & Skincare Clinic again yesterday for a facial, mani & pedi. This is my monthly treat and I recommend it to everyone out there. Jeanné is very attentive and gentle with her facials and my skin glows after her treatments. Kholo is the master of manicures! Art or plain nails, she is your go-to-girl! Gladys pampers my feet and I walk on clouds afterwards. Briony has managed - with her team - to create a fantastic salon and skincare clinic. Apart from facials, manicures and pedicures, they have a variety of other options available. Briony and her team are extremely knowledgeable and can assist and help with all skincare enquiries. The new laser with the cooler head is a bonus! Both my daughter and I make use of this service. I highly recommend visiting these ladies at their salon, you are in for a superb treat(ment)! A very happy customer.

Anneleé
