To be honest they are really all much of a muchness to me so my decision on which one I'm going to visit really just depends on which one is the least busy that day!

My beautician gave me a foot massage as well which was unexpected but a nice treat. Happy feet!

After struggling to find a reliable beautician close by and after reading Zoe K's lovely review I…read morefinally decided to give Bliss a try. I'm very glad I did. Recently I have been getting quite tired of messing around with fake eyelashes and curling my lashes with a device that seems to do more harm then good. I saw that Bliss added eyelash perming to their menu and decided to try it out about a month ago. Bliss were very helpful in: a) fitting me in last minute b) filling me in on everything I needed to know about eyelash perming c) taking the time to make sure I wasn't allergic to any of the chemicals. The whole process takes around 45mins (add 15mins if you wanted to do a tint as well) and lasts around 6-8 weeks. The time seems to fly by for me thanks to the friendly conversations had by the lovely beautician Chanel and I. I have always felt very comfortable and welcomed and have no doubt that you will feel the same. Prices: Eyelash perming $55 plus $8 for tint ***I always take advantage of the very generous 10% Yelp Check In Offer *** :)

I have always…read morebeen looked after by Jess, the business owner and main beautician, she has always been able to squeeze me in for a last minute waxing. I mainly go to Bliss for waxing, eyebrow, leg and Brazilians, however Jess offers a range of other beauty treatment, body piercing, spray tans and has an in house nail technician. While other beauty parlours pride themselves in being a tranquil and a slower-paced relaxing place, Bliss is more 'beauty express' where busy mums can be guaranteed their appointments to be on time and quick, without compromising on quality of service. The funky, bubbly and girly interior reflects the personality of the business owner and the type of service you will receive. I have always felt valued as a customer when going here, I never feel pressured to buy other beauty treatments or products. My appointments have always run on time and never had to wait for more than a few minutes. I recommend Bliss if you want a quality and friendly service!

So I should have known better... I went in for an Ayurvedic facial which starts at $105 for a 60min treatment, so its quite pricey! I was expecting a lot from this facial to tell you the truth ;) The salon itself is actually quite nice, its dark, warm, and the treatment room had a relaxing atmosphere unlike some other places which feel quite clinical. The facial started off well with the typical cleansing, toning and hot towel routine. But then the beautician starting hitting my face. Ok, maybe hitting is not the right word, more like patting...but really hard! It was to the point where I starting flinching. This was not the relaxing facial that I was looking for. So from this one experience I would not return. For $100+ I would have expected much, much more and I didn't get it.

I'm happy to say that I've visited both locations of Ayurve, and the service is great, the place is clean and relaxing and the rates aren't outrageous. I mainly book waxing (facial) and spray tans here, but am considering them for my remaining laser hair removal. The fact that I'd be willing to entrust these guys with a hot laser near my lady parts should speak to their relability. :) Also, no offense to the previous reviewer, but as a thirty-something gal who has been getting facials for a while, sometimes they are supposed to hurt a little. Anyone who has ever suffered through the pain of lengthy extractions can attest to this. Pain is beauty, yo.

I was happy with the service and the stylist seemed sincerely concerned about my hair growth. I was stressing that my hair is not growing at a regular pace and she was determined that if she continued to cut my hair that it would definitely grow quicker. That's a pretty big promise to make. But she was very convincing. The salon is small and they are known as the best eye-brow shapers in Sydney, or at least they advertise to be. I didn't have time to try that service too. There is a cute dog that runs around the salon - it is not big and does not bark much.

My Valentines present from my partner was to get my hair coloured from brunette to blonde. After…read morebooking with another salon, I found a voucher on a daily deals website for a full head of foils, cut & blow-dry at Paris Pearl. I thought ''excellent! Save half the cost'' On the night of the appointment I went in with my boyfriend and showed the hairdresser a photo of me a few years back on what colour blonde I wanted. She said that's fine, a bit of my darker colour would come through though. I was ok with this. 3 hours later at 9pm and I was all done. After we left, my boyfriend said he expected a lot blonder than what I got. The next day in the natural light I was very disappointed with the result. The shade of blonde I had was no-where near the shade of blonde in the photo that I was expecting. At work, one of my colleagues lifted my hair & said that you could see the horizontal stripes where the foils were, it looked all over very stripey & I should go back. On Saturday I consulted with a hairdresser in the original salon I booked, and she suggested I go back & ask them to fix it, she said the same thing, that it was very stripey & blotches of blonde everywhere when I put my hair back & the foils had ''bled' because they were put too close to the scalp. My boyfriend & I went back to Paris Pearl & spoke to the girl who did my hair. I told her I wasn't happy with the end result, and showed her the photo that I showed her on the night of the booking. She explained that as I had a boxed colour in my hair, this would involve a colour correction (which she did not mention on the night of the appointment) and it would require two tone foils which she said was not part of the offer. (The voucher T&C's did not mention anything about only one tone allowed). She was worried that since my hair was so thin, putting a bleach blonde colour in and that I had a boxed colour in my hair, if she did the shade I requested my hair would snap off to about 5cm in length. I WAS NOT ADVISED ANY OF THIS ON THE NIGHT OF MY BOOKING There was another hairdresser there, who took photo's of my hair, both with it down, and pulled back. My boyfriend pulled a section of my hair back to assist with the photo's. My hairdresser said she could not make any decisions on what the resolution would be, she would have to speak to her manager. I left my contact details & we left the salon. About half an hour later, on Saturday afternoon I got a call from the manager. She introduced herself & said ''I understand there was a song & dance this morning about your hair colour'' I replied ''well not really a song & dance, I am just not happy with the result of my hair'' and begun to explain the situation. She then went on the rattle off a whole heap of statistics on how many of these deal vouchers they do, other statistics about the salon. She then said that my boyfriend was pushing my hair around pointing out what was wrong with the colour. I corrected her, that he merely lifted a section of my hair to get a good shot when the girl was taking photo's. She then proceeded to say to me ''maybe you were listening to the opinion of your boyfriend instead of your own opinion. Whatever you have going on between the two of you is your business'' Needless to say I was shocked, insulted & appalled on a personal attack on myself & my boyfriend! The phone conversation continued very one sided, with the manager offering me a full refund straight away without an offer to fix my hair. She continued to talk over me whenever I tried to say something, saying that they had won multiple awards & are a very community based business. She said that there is a cheque waiting at reception for me for a full refund & that was the end of the discussion. She said goodbye before I could say anything. We went back to the salon straight away to collect the refund check. As soon as we arrived, the manager came out, as well as the 2 hairdressers we spoke to earlier that day, as well as the managers son. We felt like this was an intimidation tactic incase we made any trouble!! Whilst she was writing the check, she looked at my hair (which was pulled back showing the terrible stripes) and shook her head. Whether that was in disbelief that I had the nerve to complain, or in disbelief that such a bad job had been done. Needless to say I will NEVER recommend PARIS PEARL to anyone who asks, and by the ''service'' I received by the manager because shock! Horror! I decided to speak up, I urge anyone to steer clear.
