The 30 Best Personal care essentials in Manchester

“We absolutely adore Siân's SEN Holiday Forest School Sessions. We joined in the summer of 2023 and quickly fell in love with the holiday sessions. It can be quite challenging when our usual group activities come to a halt, as our entire family thrives on structure and routine. Our daughter has an immense passion for the outdoors and revels in any messy or sensory play. If it were up to her, she'd make the great outdoors her permanent home! Right from day one, Sian extended a warm welcome and dedicated time to truly understand how our daughter prefers to engage. She has patiently built a strong connection with our daughter at her own pace. The activities provided are nothing short of amazing, especially for our daughter, who immerses herself fully in sensory experiences (as you can see in the photos!). Furthermore, the lunch and snacks offered here are fantastic. Our daughter can be quite particular about her safe and unsafe foods, but every visit here has her enjoying the delicious lunch provided. We sincerely appreciate the tremendous effort you put into creating safe and nurturing environments for children with special educational needs. ❤️”

“I've been a regular here for a few years and can easily say it's the best barbers I've been to in Manchester! If you want it done right, go here. Always good vibes and attention to detail from Tino and the team, worth every penny. Nice one lads.”

“Great location, fantastic arrangements and products are well priced. With adequate car park for both able and disabled.”

“I visited Subway recently and was served by Joe. Despite the store being clearly understaffed and a constant stream of Deliveroo orders coming in, Joe remained calm, patient, and professional throughout. It did take a bit longer than usual to get my order, but it was clear the delay wasn’t his fault – he was handling a lot on his own. Joe made sure to greet every customer politely, took time to get each order right, and didn’t let the pressure affect his service. I really appreciated his positive attitude and attention to detail, even in a hectic situation. If anything, Subway needs to make sure their staff aren’t left to manage such a high workload alone. Joe did a great job under the circumstances, and his customer service deserves recognition. I visited on the 29th June 2025 around 17:30.”

“Was happy with a practice I’d visited for over 50 years, then it went private. Found an nhs alternative but not impressed. Referred to this practice by my daughter and struck gold.

“Called in this afternoon to give a blood sample for a routine health check. Now I'm not ordinarily phased by anything medical, but when it comes to giving blood, think 'Tony Hancock, The Blood Donor' (look it up on YouTube - comedy genius). Anyway, long story short, the Practice Nurse, Caron, was absolutely marvellous - put me completely at ease. Took the blood from the back of my hand - done and dusted within a matter of minutes. Can't praise her enough!”

“I had laser treatment and I was very happy with her manner. She was friendly and professional and made sure I knew what was happening step by step. She also sends texts as reminders for your appointment which is really helpful. I've recommended her to my friends ans family.”

“Absolutely love my nails..done by Josie would definitely recommend going there .”

“My daughter and I love going to Beauty by Chand. She’s very professional, the salon is very clean and she makes my daughter feel comfortable when she’s having her treatments done. My daughter gets her waxing and treading done and I get my eyebrows threaded by Chandrika. She takes her time when doing the treatments and makes sure that you the customer is happy with the results. My eyebrows are always spot on when I’ve been to Beauty by Chand ☺️”

“Would highly recommended, Charlotte is very knowledgable and professional and the treatment I have had has been excellent and worked really well. I’ve booked more areas now I’ve seen how well it’s worked. Charlotte is always super friendly and explained each step of the treatments I’ve received. Really nice premises too, clean, modern, relaxing and comfortable.”

“I’ve been going to Aiden at Howards Barbershop for over 2 years now, and I can’t recommend him enough. He’s consistent, professional, and always delivers a sharp, clean cut. The attention to detail and care he puts into every appointment shows how much pride he takes in his work. The shop itself has a great atmosphere—laid back but professional—and Aiden’s chair is always the one I look forward to. If you’re looking for a reliable barber who really knows his craft, Aiden is your guy.”

“Sean the barber is the best around. My son loves coming here and he does a top job everytime”

“I've tried nearly all of the barbers in the local area and Kevin Juniors is by far the best. Their cuts are quality and consistent and I've never had a bad one in the 5+ years I've been going. Kev and the team work to a booking system via the Booksy app so you'll never be waiting for ages behind a queue of other customers.I highly recommend.”
