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.

I treated myself to a half hour Reflexology session ($30) and then the Classic Pedicure ($50), and was in there for over an hour and a half! Sole Indulgence is a home based business, however the treatment room is very professional looking and it's a very quiet area, so it was very peaceful in the room. It's only just down the road from the Aspley Coles Supermarket, but you don't have to battle shopping centre parking at Sole Indulgence. There's a parking space in the driveway for customers and plenty of street parking. The room is clean and professional looking, and the chair is specially for foot treatments - you lay back, with the chair supporting your lower back and your feet are elevated. This chair is soooo comfortable, before Carolyn even touched my feet, I was feeling relaxed and could have totally fallen asleep. She started with the reflexology, which was a soothing massage. I was so relaxed, I almost dozed a couple of times. I had mentioned an occasional sore shoulder and she said she could feel it in my feet, but also some neck pain on the other side - which is actually true, I often get pain in my left side of my neck if I sleep on that side! The pedicure was a much gentler experience then some of those Nail bars/foot spas in shopping centres. There was no cheese-grater used on my heels, rather it was gently buffed off. As Carolyn also works at The Podiatry Point in Stafford, all of her pedicure equipment is sterilised and individually packaged. So no sharing nail clippers between customers! The products used at Sole Indulgence are all chemical-free where possible and certified organic essential oils in the creams. I will definitely be going back to Sole Indulgence again on a regular basis. My feet look and feel fantastic and the prices are very reasonable for the level of service you're getting. Appointments can be made Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 9am-5pm, late night on Thursdays until 7pm. Saturday morning too by appointment only. Currently they don't have EFTPOS or credit card facilities but you can pay by direct deposit, or cash.

Beauty Stop is located in the Woolworths building at the Airport DFO. They operate roughly 9am-5pm…read moredaily, with a later start on a Sunday. Parking is free onsite, and they take walk-ins and bookings. No late night shopping Thursdays - if you're a full time desk jockey like me, I'd book in for your weekend appointment. I've been a regular here for over 2 years; I'm in first thing on a Saturday morning every 3-5 weeks. The reason I first started going was the location; I'd been working as a cook at one of the cafes out at the DFO and Beauty Stop was the closest, competitively priced salon I could get pampered at after a hard slog. DFO staff get a discount of either 10 or 20%, and there are loyalty cards which offer a $5 discount after five visits and a $10 discount after ten, so it's worth checking it out, as long as you don't mind getting addicted! Ambience **** Kylie runs Beauty Stop and it's fitout is four nail stations, four pedi chairs and two privacy rooms for waxing and tanning; she usually has decorations sprinkled all over the place for Valentines Day and Christmas. The radio is set to 96.5FM for which Kylie gets some slack for from her co-workers, but at least you know there isn't any hard doof-doof on, or half a movie you hadn't seen yet playing on the TV. The other regulars I've seen are up for a chat with each other, compare nails, shoot the breeze - this really is a comfy atmosphere where you're not really feeling rushed (not that I'm there at peak hour) and you can chill and enjoy your service. Services on offer ***** Of the extensive services on offer, I've sampled permanent tattooing (top lid eyeliner), manicure, pedicure (and I'm a nervous ninny when it comes to people touching my feet!), waxing (Kylie managed to convince me to get my pits done and I have NEVER looked back, though she still can't talk me into a bikini or a Brazilian, everything else is now fair game!), acrylic and gel nails, shellac (highly recommended compared to regular nail polish!), and piercing. They also offer spray tans, eyelash extensions, massages, tooth bling and skin care product consulting. The only service I'd want which is not on offer is eyelash perming, which I have found elsewhere. But if I could get it all done at the one place, that would be mint! Service ***** Your best bet is to book in advance if you can; walk-ins are always welcome but you might be looking at a 15-30 minute wait - best not to be in a rush. If they're busy they'll give you a rough time of when to come back, or you could ask if they'll be quieter later because salons are all about looking and feeling good, and that's not something you can express service. There are enough places in walking distance that you can shop, eat, and drink and come back. If you've ever been turned off by the silent, mask-faced bandits at the Professionails or American Nails salons, you'll love it here. The crew at Beauty Stop are up for a natter while they pamper you and a few of them have been tagged as preferred by their customers. Don't be afraid to pipe up in the middle of your nail service if you want a change - and don't be afraid to go as wild or as tame with designs as you like - they seem to have them all, just remember there are small surcharges for designs and toppers - all of which are listed on their price list. Additional notes: There are usually promotions going on at Beauty Stop on a seasonal basis - if it isn't on the website, ask when you call up to book if there are any promos going on, there almost always are! It's been a while since I compared prices, but I've never felt over-charged, and probably never will, given that I have the reassurance that they know me by face, I'm comfortable asking for whatever I want, and generally show up in whatever 'morning after a Friday night' shape I present myself in.

I had to wait while they serviced a walk-in's nails in front of me even though they were running late with my booking! I used to be a regular for the convenience but that has happened twice to me now so I am never going back. I sent a message to their facebook page and they answered BUT I never got an apology, etc, just them asking what the the walk-in got done. Poor business sense!
