“I've been going to gorj since they opened. They are always clean and very professional. The staff always ask what you want so you get the look you require. Im terrible for leaving my eyebrows for too long so when i get threading it can hurt. However, the girls are always patient and take their time. I’ve never felt like I’m being rushed out of their chair even when it’s super busy.. i could not recommend Gorj enough. Thank you girls! You will always have my custom " - Danielle

"Gorj beauty was recommended to me by one of my old work colleagues, I couldn’t be so grateful. I normally get my eyebrows threaded and on some occasions I get a waxing done. I am always happy with the service that I receive when I go there. The staff are friendly and helpful."-D

TRIPPIER THAN TRIPADVISOR
Gorj - The Company…
Established in 2015, Gorj has been an ever growing business, proud to be independent and female owned, the company ethos is centered around the quality of service our clients get and the way they feel.
Everyone that is a part of our business is carefully selected based on their attitude and experience towards the craft of Threading and beauty services.
We have won multiple awards in the past and always thrive to make our business bigger and better…..8 years later….We are now a part of the Bluewater chocolate box selection of businesses, delicately placed amongst some very prestigious brands, you’ll find us in the Upper Guildhall, nestled between our neighbours that include: Zara’s Europe flagship store, Mango, Apple, L’occitane, Nespresso, Dyson, Bremont, Jo Malone, Urban Outfitters and more.
Our business at Bluewater is a boutique salon, with a small number of hand selected services, we have a premium eyebrow bar where you can comfortably receive brow/lash treatments. Our beauty room is both calm and dramatic as we have taken the ambience and placed it center stage, through the use of sound and light we have played on the art of cymatics which we incorporate into our facial treatments, our beauty room also offers full body waxing, the only place in Bluewater to do so!
Our humble beginnings are in a town called Strood, not far from Bluewater, we also have had sister companies along the years and currently we have a wholesale business, an upcoming training academy, trademarked and patented goods, a product line and we are looking to grow our business even further into the big smoke.
