    The worst spray tan experience ever. The woman behind the counter was very nice, no problem there…read more She adviced me to put lotion on my hand so i did. i asked her if the spraytan would stain and pointed at my new white shoes ( never had this problem before but want to make sure if i go to a new tanning salon) The woman said it was not a problem. I wanted to go dark. As i always do and she did not advice me not to do it. When i came out of the tanning machine there was no difference. But it would take a couple hours she said. I had to take a shower after 8 hours. I waited and waited but i did not get a tan. Only my feet and hands turned orange. My new shoes were stained as well as my bra. I contacted Sun Tan but they will not help me. the only solution i am getting is a free spray tan. But i do not want a free spray tan because i never want to go back there. i look terrible. They are rude on the last email and will not give my money back. I even have to buy new 200 dollar shoes. Do not got here

    Sunset offers sunbeds, stand ups, spray tans and their latest which is red light collagen therapy…read more What's the difference between a deluxe bed and standard? Deluxe bed ventilation is really good, it's air con, you can opt for music to be playing and can crank it - if it's that kind of day and you tan in up to 12 minutes. The standard beds take 18-20 minutes and are more gentle with no music and just fans. I've not tried their stand up or spray tans, which are Mystic brand. I have talked to someone using the red light therapy which I hear does wonders for five lines of used twice weekly, maybe next year :) Apart from a bit of exposed wiring in the rooms, this place is pretty great. The staff make sure the beds are cleaned and stocked with fresh towels and clean goggles. When Ben is on the desk, you'll always be met with a smiling face and infectious enthusiasm and efficient service. Occasionally the older staff are a little more stressed out on the desk, but they are still polite.

    When I first saw the billboards for Phoenix Cosmetics; a girl with glorious pink hair, perfectly…read moregroomed eyebrows, flawless skin and plump lustrous lips - I'd rolled my eyes and went about my day without a second thought. However soon I was hearing stories from my friends about how great the foundation was and what a great selection of eye shadows they stock, and I started to take notice. Then my mum came home with a make-up tutorial voucher for the Kingsland branch, so I thought hey, why not. Thank god I went. In just an hour I learnt all about which products are most suitable for my skin type, how to apply bronzer, blush and highlighter depending on whether it is for day or night wear, and also how to do a great smokey-eye - something I'd always struggled with. My tutor was a young funky woman who was incredibly friendly and chatty so even though I was the only customer in the store I was instantly put at ease. She also mixed my foundation there and then for me - unlike most cosmetics stores, Phoenix tailor make/mix their foundations to suit your skin tone. No more putting up with a lighter shade and using darker powder to get the right colour! As well as having a store stocked with eyeshadows, lipsticks, powders, brushes and foundation and providing make-up tutorials, Phoenix also provide eyebrow shaping and tinting services, spray tans and can do make-up for special events like balls and weddings at a very reasonable price. Bonus: As in other cosmetic stores, when you purchase a make-up tutorial or opt to have your make up done for a special occasion, the amount is fully redeemable on product.

    I love coming to this place for my make-up whenever I have an event, their prices are very…read moreaffordable and you get to redeem the price of the make-over on their products...amazing! I also always come here for their eyelash extensions, they are false lashes that are semi-permanent! Depending on your lash cycle I think they can last up to 6 weeks. Mine only last about 3 weeks but I have a pretty quick lash cycle they are always coming out, plus I use make-up removers on them which isn't good for them. The price of their extensions is one of the cheapest I know, $50 for their natural set, most places start at around $80! They do an excellent job too, quick and virtually pain free...virtually. The place looks gorgeous, all pretty and pink you really do feel pampered on every visit, try this place out!

    Was really looking forward to my appointment with Bare. Not only are their prices competitive with…read moreother similar spas, they came recommended from a few of my friends. Booked an appointment the same day and was reassured there would be parking available. After realizing the carpark was completely full and circling the notoriously busy Grey Lynn, I ended up being late for my appointment. I even tried to call them to say I was trying to find a park but seeing as there wasn't a receptionist, my call went unanswered. No one from the spa thought to even call me to see if I was on my way. After stepping inside and ringing the bell twice over 15 minutes, I was happy to see reputable brands for sale but was still left unacknowledged. Someone took my appointment time. Unfortunately they were unaccommodating in finding a resolution of the situation besides another appointment time which didn't work for me - I already took time off work for that time frame. Bummer, I was hoping to be a repeat, monthly client with them. Guess I'm still on the hunt for a great waxing location...

    It was my first time at Bare Waxing last weekend and I think I'm gonna be a regular here…read more Initially I didn't know how it was gonna go as the salon I have been going to for years were booked out till Xmas and I was placed on a very long waitlist !! Well maybe that was a good thing cos the experience I had at Bare Waxing Grey Lynn was simply the best. Kim was very professional, efficient and friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole session They also have an online booking system which is such a convenience when you're trying to juggle other life appointments. most salons dont offer this and you'd have to call them several weeks in advance to get an appointment. A few days after my session I received an email from them thanking me for coming in and they even threw in a voucher to use for my next visit ! And yes they have undercover parking too ! Awesome job team. Well done and I'll be back
