I found the entire experience very superficial and awkward with no personal connection and I left feeling very deflated about my skin as they tried to sell me something for all of my problems they told me that I had. I've never been made to feel so self conscious about my skin before. Their vibes just not for me. I'll keep going back to my usual facialist with the most magic hands and truly cares - she's never made me feel like this before!

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.

This is a nice little Body Shop which I visit most times I go to Sylvia Park…read more It's in an awkward little corner shop and the layout isn't particularly good, but the service more than makes up for it. I think the staff here have to work extra hard because with even a couple of customers in the shop, it's packed! But they always take time to greet you and help you out if you have any questions. I had some excellent advice here about selecting the correct colours in make-up, and they also gave me handy tips about which products have multiple uses, which I love.

So impressed with this shop. I really love how they work hard to improve the environment and…read moresupport animal rights. The other day, I signed a petition against party pill testing on animals - I wasn't even aware this was legal in NZ. They also had a kool incentive for Earth Hour - you sign the petition to say you'll switch off your lights, and they'll plant some trees. I usually consider Earth Hour a waste of time, but when followed by such action, it makes it worthwhile. Aside from that, the make up ladies are really nice and give practical advice. I like how they take the time to explain products to you, and don't try to force you into buying anything. There are plenty of tester products and natural ingredients, which is great for my sensitive skin.

This is where About Face in Mt Eden, they do have other Auckland locations, comes in for a regular facial skin treatment. The beauty therapist will discuss and suggest the best possible treatment to choose and all I really had to do was relax while the work was done. End result is a bright shiny face which actually does look a little fresher and more youthful. This award winning beauty therapist salon has picked up numerous awards over its 25 years in business. They have the gorgeous products, caring staff and tips for what will work best for your skin type. Give them a try is my recommendation.

I've been going there for a while, mostly because of the location, but also because they do a good job and when you're getting a wax, you kind of don't want to take a risk with that shit. I was seeing one girl for a while, but then I swapped because she wasn't available one day. I'm not particularly loyal to any particular beauty therapist, but they are both nice. I've had a facial there a couple of times, it's been good. I kind of how they try and up-sell you at the end though. That sucks. It's like, "hey man, I've already spent $115 for on you cleaning my face and now you tell me I don't drink enough water and I need some kind of special moisturiser?!"

It is so well furnished and decorated you would think it's a beauty parlor. And I guess it sort of is. It specializes in cosmetic surgery and skin care. I came here to have a birthmark removed from my finger. The procedure itself was quick and fairly pain free. After my initial consult with the surgeon I felt as ease and ready to go. He had answered all my burning questions and I was confident he would do a great job. The nurses were always friendly and made sure everything was explained perfectly. I also thought it was great that it was easy to change appointment times if something had come up. I just rang up and spoke to one of the smiley receptionists and they sorted through the calendar to find something that would suit me. Overall my experience here was a very good one. I'm extremely pleased with the final result and the whole process was easy and comfortable.

Also, I think that they charge you more units of Botox than what you need, additionally you do not receive what you have paid.The leftovers were stored within a draw.If they are empty they should end up in the rubbish. I think that this is not fair to the clients. I should be able to trust the professionals and receive what I have paid or pay less if I do not receive the full treatment. I do not want my money to be used for personal treatment, this is very unprofessional.
