Without going into too many personal details here... I've had a much, much better laser experience here than other places (read: it didn't hurt that much, it's been effective and hasn't caused second-degree burns in places where the sun doesn't normally shine), and I find the prices really competitive. Very nice and inviting space and a convenient location. I've also had freckles on my face and chest removed, and have been so pleased with the results. My skin just looks better- what's not to love?!

I've been to small salons before where you just don't get the same quality of service they provide here. Whilst the building is found in quite a busy location, it's discreet with dark tinted windows so you can't see in from the outside. The staff present themselves really well and are always really friendly and approachable. On your first visit you will have a consultation before anything goes ahead so they can be sure that they're providing you with the right service to suit your skin type and you may even get a little welcome pack of goodies! They make you feel really comfortable during your treatment as well and explain what they're doing as they go.They even offered to match the price I was paying in Sydney so long as I purchased 5 sessions at once which I was happy to do and I love that they will send you a text message a week before your next appointment as a reminder and to give you the opportunity to changes times & dates before it's too late. As far as professionalism goes this place is above and beyond anything else I've experienced.

I have been there for six years and prior to 2015 Suzie who was an aspetician who worked there was fantastic. Since her departure, I have had inexperienced staff and the management has been apalling.

Your money is best spent on other clinics that do just a good job if not better Gabriel H

The consultants here are just wonderful. At nearly 30 years of age and still suffering from pimples and some scarring, I wanted to know if there was anything non invasive I could do to help repair some of the damage. Not wanting to spend too much on a treatment or procedure, I explained my needs to the nurse. Although the acne scarring procedure could have been pushed on me (more expensive and more treatments required), the nurse assured me she didn't think I needed that treatment in particular to make a difference, and instead offered me a Microdermabrasion & Vitamin Infusion facial for about 1/3 of the price. I have to say the results have been long lasting and quite effective; scarring, tissue damage and even my faint lines have been reduced, some even gone altogether. I also got a spray tan here for the Cox Plate, and the only comments I received were from people asking when I got back from hols, which meant it looked natural and un-Oompa Loompa like! And even my mum, who won't even book in for a massage came along with me to have a laser treatment on some leg veins; the results are astonishing!! Check out the website, because if you do have skin conditions, irritations or scarring these guys can help out. They also offer more full on cosmetic procedures and even fat removal. Consultations priced from just $30 with no pressure to go ahead with anything.

Ghitta is a world class professional electrologist who has an amazing technique and has dedicated…read moreher life to perfecting her art. The attention she pays to her work and hygiene is immaculate. Before I met Ghitta, I had been going to another electrologist for about 18 months - the sessions with the previous electrologist were very painful due to the older machine and the previous electrologist would pluck the difficult hairs, which really annoyed me. Also I would get frequent bruising which was embarrassing and frustrating to cover up. Also the hair reduction wasn't really working. Prior to any electrolysis I had various laser and IPL sessions for approximately 4 years. My initial problem, and the reason why I resorted to laser on my face in the first place is because I had about three hairs on my chin (which I used to pluck) and my upper lip (which I used to wax). I had been getting laser treatment on my lower legs and underarms at the time and was so very happy with those results that during the same laser session, I asked them to quickly "zap" the few hairs on my chin and my upper lip, then said what the hell, if there are others I can't see you may as well zap those too from neck up (even though there was nothing actually there). Well, that was the biggest mistake I made because the laser treatment caused the problem to exascerbate a thousand fold. The laser was very effective on my upper lip but actually created a hair problem all over the rest of my face, including where I had NO hairs to begin with. If I had my time again, I would have chosen electrolysis over laser for my face. All I can say (based on personal experience rather than scientific fact) is that Laser/IPL is not effective for fine hairs, no matter how much they tell you it is. I have also had several laser treatments on my stomach and my thighs (both had very fine hairs) - and the hair did not reduce at all, in fact like my face, the effect of the laser & ipl on my stomach and thighs created/activated much more hairiness than my original state. The only thing laser did for me (on the face, stomach and thighs), was to temporarily remove hairs for a 4-7 week period but then it would all grow back with a vengeance. The other thing I must stress here is the importance of the technique of the electrologist. They are not all the same, and experience doesn't necessarily count. The previous electrologist I went to before Ghitta had several years experience, but the results were so slow and almost "ineffective" - previous was very quick, but would pluck and bruise me and the worst part about it was the pain associated with the old machine. Each session was so painful - all the while knowing that you're paying money for something not quite working properly was so frustrating. Why didn't I leave or go to someone else? I guess I didn't know any better. That is until I went overseas. Overseas they also recommended over there that I should have laser/ipl treatment on my face which I dared not do. I didn't even entertain that suggestion for a single second. I persisted and found electrologists over there who happened to have new machines which as it turns out, were much less painful. Because of this, when I returned back to Australia, I did a bit of research on the net and came across references to Ghitta a few times and read all the testimonials on her website. I was a little dubious but decided to give it a go. And SO GLAD I DID! She has the technique and experience to know what she is dealing with and does not give up on the hair. She diligently works away at each of the problem areas until they no longer become a problem! And I have not, over the course of my treatment, experienced a single bruise by Ghitta. Another important factor to mention, that recovery of electrolysis was quicker with Ghitta also. Her after care product really helped to reduce inflammation and quicken healing. Ghitta has cleared all my face (bottom of neck up to top of cheekbones), and helped with other problem areas of my body such as thighs, all of my stomach, strays on my lower legs, underarms, around nipples, arms. The results achieved are steady and real. It doesn't happen overnight but it happens if you hang in there. The pain is much less with the newer machine. You can still feel the zap but it 's nothing like the painful old machines. Thinking about all the heartache, effort and money I spent on laser on my face and substandard electrolysis before meeting Ghitta makes me a little sad, but no point looking back. I thought I would write about my experience so hopefully others with the same problems can benefit. I also want to thank my wonderful, pleasant Ghitta for making me hair free happy!

I couldn't help myself, had to ask the receptionist about the kind of woman who buys them - she swore it was all kinds, from mums right through to your skanky stripper-types. I'm still convinced it's 99% the skanky stripper type and only 1% mums. Tacky vaginal jewels aside, Brazilica is a pretty good salon. It's hygienic, they use quality wax and know their way around your bits. They can also wax your other body parts (who wants to look hot in a bikini but still be sporting a moustache?) and do men's bits too. All the products they use are naturally based and organic where possible, which I appreciate. If you want to get a good deal, become a fan of Brazilica on Facebook and you'll see any specials and promotions they have.

I have been to quite a few waxing places over the years (including one in Italy that I nearly sued…read morefor grievous bodily harm, but that's a story for another time), and I consider myself very well-versed in the good, the bad, and the horrid in this field. Brazilica gets it right. They use a distinctive waxing method that hardcore Melbourne wax fanatics would recognise from the leading salons in the city, and it's the method that hurts the least, looks the best, and grows back in the least offensive way. As mentioned by Erin M, you can safely book an appointment with any of the waxers here and relax in the knowledge that you'll get the same quality as last time. They encourage you to feed back on their handiwork, and you can have the salon principal review things just to make sure. You can book online, and it's easy to get an appointment - no 4-week wait to see someone. I highly recommend these guys. I've only been to the Smith Street salon, but wouldn't hesitate to try the Brunswick location.
