Long-term residents of D7, Top To Toe have been in business for three decades and have seen the area develop in astounding ways over the years. Founded long before camera phones and social media revolutionised the idea of self-image, Top To Toe had been waxing, tanning, manicuring, massaging and, just generally, perfecting their service of making people look – and feel – beautiful.

Owner Ruth tells Hot Press that this hasn’t been without its challenges over the years. The nature of running a local service industry means that she’s had to rely on quality, consistency and attentiveness to each individual customer’s needs. This she has been able to do by hiring a team which she can really depend on, who have over 50 years combined experience in the business.

“We’ve had to rely on word-of-mouth and online reviews, where we’ve consistently been one of the best rated businesses in the beauty industry,” Ruth explains.
