It's…read morenice to just walk in for a moment, pretend you're looking at something and then walk back out. That's how peaceful Endota Spa is. I was recently given a clarity gift voucher which entitled me to a back massage, neck and scalp massage and a sleep-inducing shoulder massage. It was heavenly. All I wanted to do when it was over was go to sleep. The staff were so friendly and are very good at what they do. After having it done once I would happily pay for it myself to have it done again. Prices range from $60 all the way up to $400. I personally wouldn't spend any more than $100 on spa treatment, but the expensive packages would make lovely gifts for your loved ones. Beware that the $400 package last for 3 and a half hours. Imagine how refreshed you would feel after that! There's always a sad feeling when you walk out of Endota Spa and you realise the real world still exists, because while you're inside it feels like you're in a completely different world.

Don't go here, they suck. I got married last year and went here to get a mani pedi before the big…read moreday and they did the worst job, it was so messy, so lumpy, so horrible. They said relax, put the eye mask on, so at the end it's a surprise, and it was so bad I just looked at it and her in stunned silence. I asked her to clean up a couple of bits and that's about all there was to do, and then they gave me $20 off the price and I left. It took a while before I got angry and I've only now calmed down enough to write this (I've also had a baby). They are rude, the owner is the worst, it goes without saying I will never be back.

In fact, their service and warm helpfulness began on the phone. Referred by a friend, I phoned looking for a short notice booking for myself and two girlfriends. We wanted to all have facials at the same time, prior to my friend's wedding the following day. They bent over backwards to accommodate us and after some creative juggling on their part, sorted us out a booking just when we wanted it and complete with a private room so we could bring our own champagne and nibbles. We each had a facial in succession, while the other two stayed in the 'champagne room'. So we were there over 3 hours and they made us feel so welcome and pampered. Each spa treatment begins with a foot spa, which feels amazing. New clients fill in a questionnaire based on Ayeurvedic principles and temperaments, to determine the type of aromatherapy oils and blends that are most suitable. A complimentary hot beverage is also part io the treatment as is a small gift pack of products and information on the first visit. Their marketing materials could be the subject of a 'this is how you should do it' masterclass. The treatment room is dimly lit with candles, smells divine, has unusual and pretty ornaments and features as well as relaxing music. I saw Kerri who just made me float away with serenity. She was sensitive and professional. All of us came out absolutely glowing and our skin felt sensational! I felt compelled to return the following week for a full body aromatherapy massage and saw Rose, who was also sensitive and professional. The care and attention as well as the take-away feeling of utter relaxation and rejuvenation is just amazing. I can't recommend them too highly. The salon offers a range of services including beauty treatments, the patented Anastasia brow treatments, hair and nails. Can't wait to book in again. I could get used to a life filled with L'indulgence!

New Stars Nails is a fairly new store down at the Old Port Canal Shopping Centre. I'm not really…read morethe kind of girl who goes to get her nails done, but I was with a friend of mine and she was interested so we went in and checked it out. It wasn't too expensive and the service was satisfactory. The staff were friendly, and I would give the store another star just for that but I'm not going to. This isn't the kind of place I would go to or visit regularly, there are much better beauty places to go to when you're in need of a manicure.

This place is horrifying, they did a terrible job at shellac where the big toe rubbed off…read moreimmediately after I left I went back as soon as I could 48hrs later to have it fixed and they said they didn't have time to do it so I booked the following day after work and they had the audacity to tell me I had to pay for it to be fixed, what were they going to charge me $3. I would rather pay someone else 30 to do a new set just to prove my point, the service was disgusting. I work in beauty and I would never do that to a client clearly there was not enough product out on the nail and it was cured poorly. You would think you would pick your battles you now have a bad review and have lost a regular client. Good work new star nails! You should remember one unhappy client will tell 100 people about your bad service a happy client will be lucky to tell one.

The salon has some beautiful architectural features such as high ceilings, a rustic exposed brick wall and polished floorboards. Offering a range of beauty treatments as well as hair styling, this salon and its lovely staff can pamper you from head to toe. I appreciate good communication as part of a salon visit and Hayley and team begin with a consultation and then continue with updates throughout the visit to manage expectations. Although not a coffee drinker myself, I have it on good authority that they serve a mean cuppa here and that the Cibo beans are delicious! On my first visit, Hayley did a fabulous job of matching my highlights and mixing the perfect shades, even though she hadn't met me before. The colour lasted beautifully and I'm now enjoying my second visit as I type and am each moment getting closer to the transition to princess! All the little things are covered off well too; such as, cleanliness, refreshments, timeliness, latest magazines, easy access toilet, non-cramped stations and even a vibrating basin chair. They have a great (and active) Facebook page with tips and styles and my final tip is to check in on Yelp for an added bonus!
