I cannot…read morespeak for the hairdressing, although a male friend of mine comes here and he says it is good and his hair looks okay so if you want to go by that and come here for a hair cut, by all means do so. This review is with respect to the waxing. A friend of mine told me about this place, said she had been and it was the bet wax she had ever had, so I went the following week. She was right, I still come here. What is different is the wax they use. It is not strip wax. The hot wax is applied to your skin, it cools and becomes like a thick film on your skin at which point the beauty therapist peels it off like a plaster, no pain. It is formulated to only take out the hair, it only adheres to the hair, not your skin. That is why you should go, painless waxing, it is possible. Great professional staff too, clean facilities and private rooms. I recommend it highly.

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 how I came I find Therapie as it's just behind my place of work. Though I found it by default I love it and wouldn't look elsewhere.

It's a calming space that smells lovely (tres important) with candles burning most of the time. Waxing has never been so easy!

The first time I had ever heard of this place was through a Grab One deal for 12 months of IPL…read more(laser hair removal) for $250. I have always said to myself, whenever I can afford it I will get IPL. Well at this price I could, so without thinking or researching the place I grabbed the deal. I guess this could be seen as being quite silly of me, but after having taken the risk I have no regrets. I really rate Royal Beauty! At Royal Beauty they perform a number of treatments from IPL, waxing, nails, skin therapy, and much more. Having just recently renovated the premise, it looks 100 times better and so much more inviting. I really love what they have done with the place as I feel it will make it more appealing to public who have never heard of them before. I can be the first to say I was incredibly sceptical when I first arrived at their location. I have been going to Royal Beauty for over a year every 4 weeks for IPL treatments. I cannot rate this product enough, I love it. The results give you the confidence to do anything! Especially in summer times when there is a lot of maintenance to be had. Tania and Nancy are the owners and absolutely lovely women, the would be more than willing to help you out with any questions or queries.

Ellipse is a little health and beauty store located on Dominion Road. I've been going there on and…read moreoff since I was 15, and can honestly say it's still the best place to go for a wax or to get your eyebrows threaded. The staff are professional and usually pretty friendly - always a bonus when you're getting your kit off - and they're also really good at what they do. To get your eyebrows threaded only takes minutes and they're always done evenly - again another huge bonus! The staff at Ellipse also listen to what you ask for. They appreciate not everyone loves really thin arched eyebrows, and happily shape them how you want them. Compared to other beauticians, Ellipse have always been very reasonably priced. While some places may charge $60 or more for a bikini wax, Ellipse are far more affordable and usually ask for around $25-$30. Having recently undergone a bit of a face lift, the Ellipse building now looks far more appealing and according to my friend who went there just last week, the service is still brilliant. I definitely recommend Ellipse to any woman in need of a bit of TLC! Tip: Ellipse has become quite popular so ring ahead and book your appointment!

It is called a clinic however is not clinic like in any way to me; it's homely, warming, and a soothing escape from the rushing world outside its doors. I was booked in for a bikini wax and my receptionist kindly welcomed me and asked me to fill out a new visitors form; collecting name, phone number, email address, any allergies I may have or medication I may be taking. My wax got under way, and I had a nice chat with the attendant, was all completed in less than twenty minutes. The wax had minimal pain, and was professional and neat. I was given lovely soothing lotion to apply to the area and felt ready for the beach. They sell beautiful Ecoya Candles which I could smell burning at the reception desk. Be sure to re book your next pampering or hair removal with Terra Nova they are queens of perfection.

But after receiving a gift voucher from my sisters - who rave about the place I thought I better check it out. The therapists are lovely and very informative about the treatments they have available.

I probably should be writing this in such a public forum, but I've now visited Terra Nova for massage, facials, waxing, IPL, specialist skin treatments and have always been extremely happy with the results. The prices are reasonable and they do a great job of looking after their existing clients.

The newly arrived to the scene Skylark boutique also calls Canterbury Arcade home, as is cute and fun and your bound to find a special piece of unique jewellery or perhaps a funky vintage top.
