Anyone been, I have several times, You should try it, if you fancy a hot sauna, steam room , ice cave??/ and comp coffee and excellent service.
Its the best place to meet a mate for a long chat in a cozy bath robe.
Just had my hair cut there too , the hairdresser was excellent and they have a bar, wide screen tv, internet access and comp drinks.
Give it a go, if you like that sort of thing.

I've been several times & have to agree it's brilliant. We regularly take Spice there as a big group & it's a great event.

Sounds like my kind of place...where is it ?

It's on Glossop Road (top end of West Street). Used to be the old Glossop Road swimming pool.

This is a truly wonderful place - it is a proper turkish baths and is really beautiful inside.

I took my mum for the day as a Mothers day treat and we loved it - spent all day in the spa having treatments and ended up in the salon having our hair done - really great! Will definitely do it again!

If you are interested http://www.spa1877.co.uk/spa1877.pdf will take you to their brochure.

I would definitely recommend it for a girlies day - I thought it was really reasonable and the results better than I have had anywhere else!

That's very kind of you to register and tell us that, and you even linked directly to the brochure, great! I hope this is the start of many equally informative posts about non-1877 related topics?

Well Geoff, it's like I was telling my mates at The Last Laugh Comedy Club, http://www.grinreaper.co.uk, you can get a really nice haircut on West Street.

cool- might suprise our lass!!!

Surprise her with a comedy haircut at the Spa?

Geoff, Spa 1877 is a business venture by Conrad Blandford (an internationally renowned hair stylist who used to work for Nicky Clarke in Manhattan). There is a hair salon (aptly named Hair 1877) underneath the spa - it is very nice indeed!

I went for a haircut there the other day, and whilst I was impressed by my surroundings, with the hair cut I was not.

I believe the phrase, "well and truly had" springs to mind... A trim and a (semi permanent) colour - best part of £100...

My hair did look nice, but value for money? Zilch.

I wouldn't mind, but you can barely tell I've had anything done, despite being told pre-colour that it would be really striking.

Happy bunny, I am not.

I have been back to have my hair done since my last posting and I was extremely pleased with the results - I am a dark chocolate brown now.

Why don't you ring and tell them? Say that you were expecting a striking colour and you are disappointed with it. I am sure they would redo it..... Most salons do if you are not happy with the results and they have not delivered what they promised. At the worst you would get a voucher or something - it is always worth a try!

I have been back to the salon, and they were very accommodating... They (being a different stylist) re-did the colour and I am REALLY pleased with it. The service that I received this time was exactly what I had expected when I first went... Really friendly and attentive... :)

So, Spa 1877, I take back what I originally posted, and can honestly say, that I will be going back again... You're fab :)

I am looking for a new hair dresser, which stylist do you recommend?

Cheers

Try Conrad - he is the manager and really good! He is also extremely nice!

My girlfriend took me there for a birthday treat on Monday. I have never been to a Turkish bath before so didn't know aht to expect.

All the staff were very friendly and the service in general was excellent. I have never felt more relaxed in my life! I would recommend anybody to go.

What are the prices like for treatments at the spa? i'v done the main 3hour room thingy, anyone had the hot rock massage? Any good comments?
I love the Turkish Baths- especially the ice cave! really recommend it!!
Perfect for a Girly Day out (followd by shoppin of course!)

I myself absolutely love the place - I find the staff really friendly the treatments reasonably priced and the actual baths themselves are beautiful.

I have my hair done regularly in the salon by Conrad and for a whole pampering 'ME' day it is just the best.

I would recommend it to anyone.
