Let's just say I found my new go-to spot for a mani-pedi session:) Sensational Nails is quick, convenient and affordable. I called before I left the house and was able to walk right in and less than an hour later I was out with shiny nails and darker lashes:) The technician was very sweet and chatted with me throughout the hour. You can usually find parking on the streets nearby. And the Paddo is just across the street if you need to keep your partner occupied while you get colored and waxed. I would highly recommend this salon to others. Enjoy!

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.

Hence when a friend suggested we get pedicures a wave of fear washed over me. Pedicures? I've successfully avoided one for so long why would I start having them now? People touching our feet? And everyone being able to see us? Luckily said friend wasn't suggest mall pedicures, she was taking it up a level and suggested Pho Thai Spa which is conveniently located on Brunswick Street (past the New Farm Cinema and next to Death Before Decaf). Yes, you'll pay a little more but can opt for a quick 30 minute pedi or the hour long (like we did) which includes a neck and head massage, and for the added luxuries - it's worth it. When you arrive you enter a serene space where mobile phone use is discouraged and you remove your shoes before being taken through to the treatment room. You'll be served a cup of warm tea. There's 6 cane lounges meaning there's no mass pedicure turn style happening here. The setting is more day spa than harshly lit salon. You're shown to your lounge and invited to soak your feet before a scrub is applied and wiped off. Then, with your eye mask on, you're transported to a moment of relaxation as the therapists combine gentle massage, pressure point massage and an actual pedicure. While your nails are drying (if you've opted for a nail varnish), your neck and head are gently massaged. Thankfully, we weren't rushed to leave our lounges post-treatment and were given ample time to warm back up to the idea of re-entering the real world. They also do Thai massage and facials so you could easily spend a day-spa day here and leave the worries of the world at the door! And, for the first time in my life, I get the benefits of a pedicure. Says I as I admire how shiny and smooth my feet look.

A friend recommended me to Pho Thai Spa on Brunswick Street in New Farm. I immediately booked myself in for the 45 minute pedicure package. Upon entering Pho Thai Spa, the first thing I noticed was the beautiful Thai decor. Long lounge chairs, dim lighting and green tea being brewed for my arrival. I knew immediately I was going to like it here. The lady who took care of me got me settled and soaked my feet in warm coconut water. Before preparing my feet for the pedicure side of things, she gave me the most amazing foot massage I have ever had, to the point where I had to concentrate to stay awake. It was exactly what the doctor ordered! After the massage she brought out a selection of OPI nail polish to choose from for my toenail colour. I was a bit sad once it was all over, but it felt like I was there for much longer than 45 minutes. My deluxe pedicure came to $65, and was worth every scent. It was such a fantastic pampering session and I'd happily recommend it to all of my friends. Another great thing is that as a new customer I was given a $20 voucher to use for my next visit...as if I needed more excuses ti come back! Plus I discovered that they do packages where a group of friends can book the spa for a few hours for $105 a person and receive massages and facials whilst drinking champagne. Sounds like heaven on Earth!

Walking inside here is like being inside a luxe, French salon. Each customer gets to laze on chaise longue style beds (all of which are draped in burnished gold satin) and each "brow station" is separated by soft, white drapes. If I'm going to have pain inflicted upon me, then it's nice to be surrounded by luxury. I opted for the Brow Lift-Shaping treatment - I was sold when they told me it will give the appearance of an instant eyelift. First of all the Brow Artist (or Arch Angel as they are also called) looked at my face shape and features very carefully, before starting her waxing, tweezing and shaping. I had been waxing my own eyebrows for years, so they were both a bit uneven (oops) but she didn't make me feel bad, just showed me where I'd been going wrong and reshaped them both to match. Then she blended some colours together to give my brows some depth and to frame my eyes more. After years of hiding behind a long fringe, I've just had a pixie haircut so it's imperative I show my brows off to their best advantage. It did cost me $70, but it was definitely worth it to fix my home-waxing mistakes, and now my (very even) brows can proudly take centre stage.
