Bonus discount prices for treatments

Managed to book a couple of wellness treatments I’ve never tried before with the added bonus of them being 50% off. Obviously I’ve still to arrange the appointments so can’t comment on the actual treatments.

Poor service and standard of pedicure

Booked a luxury pedicure for my wife's birthday that is clearly advertised as 50 minutes. Also requested an add on of 15 minute massage.

On the day, the person doing the pedicure was 15 minutes late and after my wife had stated during the session about the add on as well, the session only last 30 minutes. My wife raised this at the desk but 4 staff members just shrugged their shoulders. They offered to take my wife back in but the person who did it already had their jacket on ready to leave, which was bizarre. Not only that but the standard of pedicure was shocking and none of the advertised service was done correctly.

I raised a complaint and was told I would be contacted with 3 days. Yet to received a response, and no reply to follow up emails.

Very poor service and would not advise people to spend money here.

No voucher

No voucher, phone number not being picked up but following an email to CEO vouchers have now arrived. Don't know how you can book by phone if no-one answers though. Previous treatment have been well received but the voicher process is very clunky when you have to escalate it

No response/help from Customer Service

I have been given a Gift Card for Pure Spa in Brighton in October 2025. Unfortunately, this location seems to be permanently closed.
I have been trying for weeks to get some help and assistance around this issue without any response. I have sent emails, a website enquire, Instagram message and comments, all unanswered. Very poor customer service. Unsure if they are just ignoring my request or scamming me by not refunding the gift card or offered alternatives.

Don't buy voucher from this company, they do not deliver

I was bought a voucher for an overnight stay in a hotel and two spa treatments. I have been trying to book with them since January 2025 and they keep delaying and delaying. I have now found out the hotel-Peebles in Scotland, where my gift voucher was bought for, no longer have anything to do with Pure Spa, due to the difficulties the hotel had with frustrated people like myself not being able to secure a booking. I am now moving onto court proceedings as my daughter spent £270 for my birthday gift in January 2025; it is now March 2026 and I still cannot secure a gift. The CEO should be ashamed of taking honest money from people and not delivering the gift they paid for

I had a luxury pedicure

I had a luxury pedicure, followed by a gel polish finish. I was delighted with the treatment. The girls were friendly and chatty, and I had a great experience. Unfortunately when I returned home, one nail was missing polish. When I reached out to PureSpa I received a quick response and was booked in the next day to fix the issue. Again, the next day, 2 further nails were missing polish. And again, I received a quick response to rectify the issue. Whilst it was a hassle having to go back and forth, I really appreciated their customer service and duty to make things right.

Still waiting for my refund after canceling in advance

I booked for 3 massages so roughly 300£ and canceled on the tuesday before the sunday appointment.
They first said they would credit my Pure Spa account, and i promptly replied than I wanted a refund on my bank account.
They said they would pass it on to the manager??? (Why??? Am i not allowed to get my money back if i cancel long in advance?) Anyway, it was on the 16th of March and since then, I haven't heard back from the manager or anyone and they haven't told when they would actually refund me!! That's a LOT OF MONEY.

Salon closed no cancelation

Showed up for a pre- paid appointment and salon was closed. Have emailed the branch (cults), phoned the centralized number countless times, emailed head office, messaged via instagram and Facebook and still can't get hold of anyone to get my money back.

Extremely disappointed as was looking forward to my spring spa renewal which they keep sending me adverts for

I'm beginning to believe this is a scam…

I'm beginning to believe this is a scam company.

I purchased gift vouchers through their website I'm February but have been unable to redeem them as the appointments were repeatedly cancelled. I told them I wanted to be refunded and have never heard anything back.

I have tried endless emails and phonecalls that never get answered.

Last resort is to go through the credit card company.

*EDIT* I have since received a reply stating that policy is that gift cards are non-refundable.

Given that the gift card was a specific offer for the specific site of Park Hall - Chorley, and there is no other Pure Spa within a 100 mile radius for me to use my voucher - I will insist on a refund. I had already received an email from Park Hall - Chorley stating that a refund has been requested AND processed - which is simply not the case. As previously mentioned - if this is is not dealt with promptly then I will raise a section 75 with my card company.

Useless call center !

Regarding the call center which is completely useless, the employees do not know the products, the program or how to use the facilities. Some of them have poor English, I don't understand how they ended up working in a call center! The website has also a big issue, you cannot make appointments even if you have a membership or an e-card.

Purespa Cults

Purespa Cults, deducted money from my account for a no show for an appointment that I did not book or know about. I have sent several emails to the customer service unit and to Cults Purespa with not a single acknowledgment of my mails. I have been to the Spa and a staff there acknowledged that the deduction was an error yet nothing has been done after several weeks and no one is responding to my emails.
Kindly refund my money.

It’s a shame that it had to take a review to get a response.
I have since raised a dispute with my bank.

Dear Ayibu,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must be.

We’re particularly concerned to read that a charge was taken for an appointment you did not book. If a member of the spa team has already confirmed that this deduction was made in error, it should absolutely be investigated and resolved promptly. We apologise that you have not yet received a response to your emails or an update on the matter.

Please contact us again at customerservices@purespauk.com, including your booking details and the date of the charge, and reference your Trustpilot review. We will ensure this is escalated and reviewed as a priority so that the refund can be arranged if the charge was made incorrectly.

Thank you for your patience while we look into this.

Responsiveness of customer service is…

Update: I had meanwhile received the refund, hence I am increasing the rating of the review to 3 stars. Considering the length of time and the poor responsiveness, I can not give a better rating.

Responsiveness of customer service is close to zero.
I booked a treatment priced at just over £100 because I had a gift voucher for that amount. However, when booking online, there was no option to use the voucher as a payment method. I proceeded with the booking and paid £67 upfront using my bank card, with the remaining balance due on the day of the treatment.
When I arrived for my appointment, I presented the £100 gift voucher to the receptionist and asked whether it could be used to cover the full cost of the treatment. She confirmed that the entire voucher amount would be applied and that the £67 I had paid by card would be refunded. I asked her to reconfirm this, and twice she reassured me that the full treatment cost would be taken from the voucher and I would be reimbursed for the amount paid by card.
This refund never happened.
I have sent at least five emails over the last four weeks to customer service with no response. Calling the customer service number listed on their website (0330 232 1888) also leads nowhere—no one ever answers.
I have also noticed that most complaints on Trustpilot receive the same generic copy‑and‑paste response. I’m genuinely wondering if anyone has ever actually had their issue resolved.
Extremely poor attitude from a company operating in a market like the UK.

Dear Simona,

Thank you for updating your review. We appreciate you acknowledging that the refund has now been received.

We’re very sorry for the delay and for the difficulty you experienced when trying to contact our customer service team. We completely understand why the lack of response and the time taken to resolve the refund led to frustration, and this is not the standard of service we aim to provide.

Your feedback regarding responsiveness and communication is important and has been shared internally so we can continue improving our processes.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we do hope that if you choose to visit us again in the future, your experience will be a much smoother one.

False advertisement and ignorant customer service staff

Bought a gift voucher for a hyperbaric chamber session at the Coventry spa. They advertise it as being able to be booked at Coventry but once I tried to use the voucher to book I was then informed that, contrary to the website seeming to show that Coventry offered the service, they don’t.
I therefore asked for a refund. Customer service has been replying to me quickly prior to this, but my last 3 messages asking for a refund were ignored. I’ll now be seeking a refund via my card provider.

Dear Denise,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the availability of the hyperbaric chamber session.

While the treatment is listed within our services, availability can vary by location and unfortunately it is not currently offered at our Coventry spa. We apologise if this was not clear at the time of purchase and understand how frustrating this must have been when you were trying to redeem your voucher.

We’re also sorry to hear that you have not received a response to your most recent messages. This is not the level of communication we aim to provide.

Please contact us at customerservices@purespauk.com with your voucher details and reference your Trustpilot review so our team can review this for you and work towards a suitable resolution.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Avoid like the plague

Absolutely shocking company, one star is too high a rating,unfortunately there is no zero or minus option. Treated therapists badly, underpaid therapists invoices, fictitious email accounts, clients chasing refunds, appointments messed around. Very high turnover of therapists due to management behaviour and not because therapist were bad.

Avoid pure spa- they are a detriment to your health and you bank balance

Husband bought me a voucher as a gift. The voucher did not arrive and he ended up chasing them up for it and could not get any response from customer services-he had to go in store to rectify this.
I then tried to book my treatment. Voucher recommended booking by phone or email. Tried calling multiple times daily over multiple days with no answer. Left voice messages, have not heard back. Emailed customer services and have yet to have a reply. My husband had to go in person again to book the appointment.
Went for a 60 minute floatation experience. It was the only spa treatment I have ever walked out of early. I was set up on the floatation bed and advised they would come and check on me. 20 minutes in and I was overheated and really uncomfortable- was unable to adjust any settings. Nobody came to check up. I tolerated it for another 10 minutes and then started to feel unwell, so got up. Could not find any staff to ask for help, place was deserted. Only person I found was the receptionist whom was already occupied. I fed back to her but got no response. Left feeling unwell and really disappointed. A kind gift made me feel worse rather than better. Have written a complaint on their feedback service and also forwarded it directly to the spa, asking for a refund. Unsurprisingly there has been radio silence since.
Avoid Pure Spa- they are a detriment to your health and your bank balance. Worst customer service I have ever experienced.
Update: 17/3/26
Have emailed purespa as per token response below and still had no reply from any of my communications other than the trust pilot response below.

Dear Jenny,

We’re very sorry to read about your experience and are particularly concerned to hear that you felt unwell during your floatation treatment. This is certainly not the experience we want any guest to have, and we sincerely apologise that you felt unsupported at the time.

Floatation treatments should always be comfortable and relaxing, and a member of the team should be available if assistance is needed. We’re sorry that this was not your experience and that you were unable to locate a team member when you needed help.

We’re also disappointed to hear about the difficulties both you and your husband experienced when trying to contact customer services and arrange your booking. This is not the standard of communication we aim to provide and we apologise for the frustration this caused.

As you have already submitted a complaint, our team will need to review the details of your visit with the spa directly. If you could please contact us again at customerservices@purespauk.com
with your booking details and reference your Trustpilot review, we will ensure this is escalated and reviewed as a priority so that we can properly address your concerns.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Avoid at all costs.

Unable to book treatments as I was given gift vouchers as a present and cannot use these when booking on-line. I have now contacted the customer service on 14 occasions, 3 on email and 11 by phone often spending 20mins listening to 'Your call is very important to us, please wait for the next available agent'. No agent ever came to the phone ! I decided to drive to Witney to make a booking in person to find the place deserted ! If I didnt have the gift vouchers - I certainly wouldnt be giving them this much attention !
