Worst place I've ever encountered for Brows. I paid full price for a fully-trained brow stylist and…read morethey were sneaky and gave me a trainee. She gave me uneven brows, which look terrible. Then proceeded to cover my brows with makeup so I wouldn't see the crap job she did. Nightmare place... avoid!

These ladies are eyebrow artisans. And that's coming from someone who hates having my brows plucked…read more- for some reason, tweezing my eyebrow hairs not only makes my eyes water terribly, but it also makes me sneeze. Walking inside here is like being inside a luxe, French salon. Each customer gets to laze on chaise longue style beds (all of which are draped in burnished gold satin) and each "brow station" is separated by soft, white drapes. If I'm going to have pain inflicted upon me, then it's nice to be surrounded by luxury. I opted for the Brow Lift-Shaping treatment - I was sold when they told me it will give the appearance of an instant eyelift. First of all the Brow Artist (or Arch Angel as they are also called) looked at my face shape and features very carefully, before starting her waxing, tweezing and shaping. I had been waxing my own eyebrows for years, so they were both a bit uneven (oops) but she didn't make me feel bad, just showed me where I'd been going wrong and reshaped them both to match. Then she blended some colours together to give my brows some depth and to frame my eyes more. After years of hiding behind a long fringe, I've just had a pixie haircut so it's imperative I show my brows off to their best advantage. It did cost me $70, but it was definitely worth it to fix my home-waxing mistakes, and now my (very even) brows can proudly take centre stage.

I was in…read moredesperate need of a facial after a month of traveling, and they were able to fit me in for a last minute appointment. Sarah was excellent - friendly, professional and clearly dedicated to helping her clients. In short, one of the best facials I've ever had. If I didn't live 10,000 miles away, I'd definitely become a regular.

I wanted to find a place to get my shellac done that was a little more fancy than usual and this…read moreseemed to be the right place for that. #treatyoself The place is quite nice, unlike a usual nail salon you sit at a nice high wooden bench and the staff are very friendly. I chose the colour 'mermaid green', the colour selection available is limited compared to other places I have been, however there is still some variety. You do receive a bottle of water and they have recently started using their own brand of nail file and you get to take yours home. If you are feeling fancy you can also have a drink while you have your nails done. I would recommended booking in advance. It was a little more expensive than I normally pay but I would be back. Take along a girlfriend and get your nails done over some champagne!

Brooklyn is definitely not the cheapest place in town, but their facilities are simple and clean, and has the interiors of a Brooklyn loft. The place also wasn't overwhelmingly musty with the smell of incense or air freshener, which was a huge plus for this allergy-prone customer. The girls there are super friendly, quick at their job, and have the cutest outfits complete with a bow tie. Love it!

"You tinted my brows and they look human," said I never until today…read more I couldn't tell you how many times I've walked past Inspiring Beauty, a small workers cottage converted into a beauty salon, always curious what they're services were like but never booking in. Today I bit the bullet and in need of some humanising to my brows, logged on to their website and booked an appointment. This was at 10am. My appointment was booked for 2pm. Winning! Arriving a little early, I filled in my new client paperwork as is standard when going to a salon for the first time and soon after Chantelle invited me into the treatment room. I explained that I'd been "growing my brows out" as the last time they were waxed they'd ended up far too thin for my liking. She instantly could tell me how it had happened and explained she was only going to take "a tad from here and here - that's all you need." Within 10 minutes my brows were once again human and she upsold me so easily to a brow tint. Chantelle even applied a cooling cold cotton pad in between each wax strip. It wasn't hard - my fair coloured brows look much better a little darker but I've always ended up looking like Freida Kahlo. There was no pressure but she assured me they'd be so light. She was right. My brow tinting experience with Chantelle was the first time I've had my brows tinted and genuinely liked the result. They do an assortment of skincare treatments as well and all can be booked online. Oh, and you get 30% off on your first 2 treatments and 10% off if you rebook your next appointment then and there. Unassuming local beauty salon you've won me over!

I've never regretted the decision to walk into an Ella Bache…read more I have very needy eyebrows and the staff at EB show them more affection than they deserve. They are unwieldy, forehead beasts that writhe in delight at defacing my countenance. Somehow, through either science or magic, I walk into the Ella Bache in the Valley and I have two people brows. Not only do I end with two eyebrows, instead of one wiggly Howard-eque worm, I end up looking pretty good - If I do say so myself. I think the best part of Ella Bache is the way they seamlessly mesh beauty and an oddly comforting clinical feel. The music they play in the treatment rooms is soothing, without being windchimey, Enya rip off nonsense. The staff are friendly, but professional. Not one staffer has asked me the usual beauty therapist questions, which is beyond endearing. I go to these establishments to end up looking tidier, not to be quizzed about my boyfriend, or where I'm going drinking on Friday night. I do, however, dislike the ol' faithful question "would you like to rebook?" I'm forced to reply "you saw these babies when I walked in, they remind me that I need to make an appointment." All in all, I'm always chuffed with the service I receive at the Valley branch of the Ella Bache.
