Sure, I've had a massage in Bali that costs all of $12, but spend ten times that at East Day Spa and the experience is elevated to perfection. From the first welcome accompanied by a cup of peppermint tea, to the calming music and beautifully appointment treatment rooms, everything is carefully thought about so you can spend time focussing on being relaxed. A massage here is exceptional, with the therapists obviously holding a high amount of training and experience. Sore legs? They'll spend more time on those when you tell them beforehand. A little knot in your left shoulder? Don't worry, they'll find it and gently knead it out. Don't worry about walking out feeling like an oil slick as they'll use hot towels to remove excess oil before giving you an oil-free face massage. This small attention to detail is what sets more expensive massages apart from cheaper alternatives. And it's not just massage they do well at East Day Spa. I've had facials and pedicures and every time I've walked away feeling relaxed and happy knowing I got exactly what I hoped for. In my eyes, that's money well spent.

Located on the corner of Eldon Road and Dominion Road, The Villa Skin Spa is a charming wee beauty…read moreand day spa. Run by Fleur Harding, a trained beauty therapist, The Villa Skin Spa offers a variety of beauty and pampering packages. Whether you want your legs waxed, eyebrows shaped, full body massage, facial, electrolysis, spray tan or bridal makeup done, The Villa Skin Spa can accommodate your every need. One of the best things about The Villa, and one of the things that really sets this place aside from other beauty and day spas is, you are the only client in the building. Fleur is the only therapist that works in her spa, so you have her undivided attention while you are there. It's great! Though all the prices of treatments are pretty standard for beauty spas, The Villa Skin Spa always has great specials and deals on offer that are definitely worth looking out for. The Villa also offers gift vouchers which make the perfect Mother's Day gifts - I got my mum a full body massage and facial package deal for The Villa a few years ago and she was absolutely ecstatic. Keep this spa in mind!!! Bonus: Fleur is lovely. She's really down to earth and genuine, and unlike other beauty therapists, doesn't try and talk you in to treatments you don't need!

Booking was made over the phone and the person I talked to was accommodating. My fear when using vouchers is that the service can be a little slack, this was not the case here. I was given light clothes to change into and asked to lay on the massage table. The Thai Massage therapy involves deep tissue massage using pressure points and gentle stretching. The massage was very relaxing and reminded me of Balinese massage in its style, with no oil and no nudity (perfect if you are a bit shy or do not want skin contact). It is rare that I love a place to the point of saying "I will come back even without a voucher" but Bann Thai is one of them. I encourage you to give them a try!

I had a voucher with them to use but was not able to use it before the expiry date. My impression was that they make using vouchers difficult & discourage it due to thin margins as mentioned by the previous reviewer.

Three weeks later we turned up and the owner accused of not showing up for the incorrect first booking, and attempted to charge us a $25 rescheduling fee (not previously disclosed over the phone). After explaining what happened, she was obstinate and accused me of lying about the booking after she "checked her records again", and told me how I had made a last minute booking and had to be charged - I have call logs to confirm my side of the story, but she refused to listen and was unbelievably rude. The place appears to run on very thin margins and their policies and attitude reflect this. Cheap and disingenuous. We will never be back and will tell anyone who will listen of our awful experience.

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 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!

I missed two appointments due to unexpected circumstances when i called the store to apologize, the owner picked up. She was so RUDE and disgusting towards me on the phone, i physically had to go visit the store to put a face to the name. As i started expressing my concerns to her as a customer, before i could even finish speaking, she just looked me straight in the eyes in front of all the customers and yelled at me to 'LEAVE' three times and said she doesn't want me in the store. She obviously felt very defensive when i expressed my opinion, and had no response but to try humiliate me. It's quite funny to be honest because her business will suffer from her behavior. I feel bad for her as she must have a very troubled and stressed life to treat another human being with such disrespect. I've never experienced such poor behavior and lack of humility before in my life. But i refuse to let such an petty and clearly unhappy woman to ruin my day so i strongly suggest to everyone reading this, not to bother stepping foot into that business unless you want to spoil your day. With society evolving so rapidly and people raising more and more awareness, every day we are reminded to treat fellow humans with respect. Times have changed and you can longer speak to customers like dogs and expect no consequences. We have to remember not only how important customer service is but how important it is to empathize and be kind. I hope once the owner reads this she'll have time to self-reflect and rectify her attitude.

However this does depend on the package you buy. I went for a full massage - deep tissue massage in fact! The customer service was pretty good and the therapist was very attentive to my requirements. The room they ushered me to was almost like a make shift office turned into a massage room. The walls didn't reach the roof which meant you could hear all the conversations being had in the reception. So not as relaxing as I would have hoped. However the massage was very good and relaxing. I would recommend if you want a decent massage. If you're going there for a full day spa experience I would recommend else where. Middle of the road kind of day spa in my opinion.

Treatment timing was really a full body scrub (10mins) , Back Massage (30mins), Essential facial (30 mins) and Pedi (20mins) during the facial. With the extra half an hour just me hanging out wondering if the therapist had forgotten me, shut up shop and headed home. Didn't seam to be air con in the room, when I asked the therapist to adjust the temp. a fan was placed closer to the massage bed. Location is good with parking provided in the busy Newmarket and the products used seamed to be good quality.
