It’s Friday. You’re looking forward to a night in front of the telly, when the heartthrob of your dreams calls. ‘Would you like to come away for the weekend? We leave tonight’.

You go puce. You hyperventilate. You’re thinking about your bikini line: it’s a jungle down there.

Use your lunch hour (and a half) for an emergency Mini Break treatment at Michaeljohn. An army of therapists will spruce you up in record time so that you arrive at the hotel/private runway/heliport looking (and feeling) smooth, silky and ready for the dirtiest two days of your life.

The treatment includes a full leg and bikini wax (or a chest and back wax for guys), a basic pedicure and an express facial, complete with an all-important arm and hand massage.

All you need to do is pack a killer outfit and your best underwear.

Or not.
