I chose the colour 'mermaid green', the colour selection available is limited compared to other places I have been, however there is still some variety. You do receive a bottle of water and they have recently started using their own brand of nail file and you get to take yours home. If you are feeling fancy you can also have a drink while you have your nails done. I would recommended booking in advance. It was a little more expensive than I normally pay but I would be back. Take along a girlfriend and get your nails done over some champagne!

Brooklyn is definitely not the cheapest place in town, but their facilities are simple and clean, and has the interiors of a Brooklyn loft. The place also wasn't overwhelmingly musty with the smell of incense or air freshener, which was a huge plus for this allergy-prone customer. The girls there are super friendly, quick at their job, and have the cutest outfits complete with a bow tie. Love it!

Used Light Elegance, a hard-to-find product that did not wear off at the beach like regular polish. Natasha sources the world for the safest and most effective products. You can buy Faby from her, a new Italian line. Beware cheap nail salons--lots of people have gotten infections. Natasha is careful and sterile. You don't feel like you are on an assembly line, either. Her private salon is very relaxing and you get her full attention.

I'd always thought that amongst the shop fronts on Blackwood Street, a nail salon was an odd…read moreinclusion. But now having experienced this teams level of precision and attention to detail during a recent manicure, I can understand why I will often walk past and see the store full with ladies treating themselves. $35 bought me a shellac manicure which, compared to CBD counterparts, comes in as cheap as chips. And yet, as I mentioned above, the dedicated and detail taken was better than some I've paid more for. My nail technician took what looked like painstaking detail to ensure the polish was just right, rounding the nail bed with a small paint brush to ensure none of the colour went "outside the lines". The atmosphere was calm and a complimentary bottle of water offered. They might take a little longer but it's worth it, in my opinion.

They have recently updated their chairs and they give a brilliant massage right up to your neck.

Waxing is not a pleasant experience, ok. It's just not. So when you find a waxer who gets the job…read moredone quickly and efficiently, you hold on to them like a lifeline. I've had my fair share of waxers so I think I've earned the right to out King's Beauty as the exemplary waxers they are. King's Beauty is renowned (to me anyway) for its precision and swift delivery of pain. I'd rather have my painful wax over and done with in 15 minutes than drawn out slowly over half an hour like some other waxes I've experienced. But with King's, you're in and out and happy as Larry. My last appointment, I was in and out in ten minutes - TEN MINUTES PEOPLE! Plus, when I elect to undergo services of a more embarrassing nature, I generally don't feel embarrassed at King's. It's a very pleasant place to walk in to with an array of magazines typical to a beauty place. Even when I've had to cancel and reschedule, the girls at King's have been very helpful and always managed to work something out. They return answering machine messages and can squeeze you in at a moment's notice (which someone like me really appreciates). Their prices are great for a struggling pauper of a student like myself and a real steal for the quality of work. And on Monday's it's a free-for-all with 10% off all beauty services. It's on the cusp of busy Bardon and Paddington but they have a sneaky car park around the back for customers. If it were possible to give King's Beauty three thumbs up, I would.

I've had my eyebrows waxed here a few times and always found the staff to be warm and helpful. If…read moreyou're the kind of person who likes to chat while you get pampered you'll have no problem making conversation with the beauticians, and if you prefer to just lie back and close your eyes they'll get the message. The rooms are neat and comfortable and relaxing music plays from the speakers. I've only ever had eyebrow waxing done here, but they offer massages, haircuts, tanning, and a menu of other beauty treatments. Totovoco's prices are very fair, and you definitely get your money's worth. The availability of appointments can be a bit unpredictable - sometimes you can phone and get an appointment almost straight away, other days they'll have no openings at all. Totovoco offers mens haircuts and treatments, too, but to be honest I've never seen a man in here so guys be aware that you might be the only male on the premises. As far as beauty salons go, Totovoco offers friendly service and great prices and is an excellent option if you're after a bit of pampering.
