They've got a great range of colours (I went for a orangey red) and use both OPI and another brand (if you want OPI it's the colours with the letter on the back of the samples).

The review is for Hannah P, A.K.A The Brow Queen…read more I used to believe that paying someone to pluck your own eyebrows was a bit ridiculous. Well, in no more than 10 minutes Hannah had me eating my hat. Hannah is so good that I had heard of her browress well before I experienced it first-hand. Arriving at Lucy and the Powder Room, Hannah and I had a quick consultation before she set to work. Interestingly, the first thing she did, was measure my brows to ensure that everything (start, end, arches) was where it should be. "Hmmmm" was all she said before plucking, tweezing and waxing away. Five minutes later she was done and holding a mirror over my brows explaining the changes. She also showed me where I was and wasn't allowed to pluck and asserted that I must be back in 4 weeks time for a reassessment. Yes, ma'am! The icing on the cake - my eyebrows weren't the slightest bit red when I left...ideal.

Their prices are really reasonable and the whole place is clean and fresh.

Definitely recommend.

Ahhh, so good. However, doing this every week can become an expensive lifestyle. Which is why I go to Golden Sails. Sure it's not the flashest place to get a massage but it does the job and at $30 a pop you can't go wrong. The best thing is they have partitions so you don't feel like the whole mall is watching you have a massage. And also they don't give weak massages like some places. They definitely know how to get all those tough knots out. Don't knock it until you've tried it is all I can say. But watch out, once you go you'll probably be going every week!

I forget how much a shellac manicure is but I learnt the other day that you can asked to just get your nails painted for less (no cuticle cutting, hand massage), which I am definitely going to opt for next time.

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. The atmosphere is very relaxed which allows for a very enjoyable experience. 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.

We saw their regular customers being offered a cup of tea while we just sat there with no drinks. I saw other customers who didn't seem to be regulars that also didn't get drinks. We started with a pedicure and it was the most uncomfortable pedicure we've got. The girl who did my friend's put HOT WATER in the tub and nearly burned my friend's feet. The tubs aren't attached to the chair so it kept moving and we had to put our weight on it to keep it steady. Clearly it was not a relaxing time for us. We then moved onto our gel manicure. They seemed to have lots of colour options but they actually didn't have quite a number of them in stock. Best to check with them before picking a colour. The ladies who did mine and my friend's manicure cut our fingers but didn't even apologize for it and didn't put rubbing alcohol to prevent infection. They just proceeded with the rest of procedures with the blood on our fingers... It was also the most expensive manicure we've got for a simple one colour gel manicure. I wouldn't recommend this place to my friends and wouldn't come back here again...

They cover a full range of manicure and pedicure options, and every treatment that I've had has been done to perfection. Even if you just go in for a basic file and polish, they do it so carefully and with absolute precision, and the manicure comes with a killer hand massage. Equal to the results you get is the service. The women working at Sassi are so friendly and polite, and obviously make a real effort to keep the salon looking clean and fresh, and stocked with plenty of new, quality mags (always vital!). The products are OPI-based and they stock a full range of OPI products including Gelcolours and the ever-delicious Avojuice. They also do a mean Shellac and offer all those extensiony fake things too. The prices are at the higher end, but it's superb value for money.
