They are all extremely nice and make you feel comfortable and trusting. Bikini waxes (and triple X's) are always awkward. You get a bit nervous getting your parts out for someone else! But Linda and her employees are extremely nice. They are as gentle as they can be and chat away with you ensuring that you are happy. They use a range of waxes, so the right one can be used on the right body part and you can have the best result. It is not extremely cheap as it is a small boutique shop, not a chain. But the service is very personal and I definitely think it is worth spending the extra money. They shop also offers tans and manicures. I have never had either here, but I think that the quality would be great like everything else they offer.

You gotta understand that I'm a basketball player that's actually taking care of my feet for the first time. Ohh yes.....It ended feeling like paradise, that I could feel it through my whole body during my treatment. And I can only imagine if I convinced my next girlfriend to go to this store with me, I think this would be the perfect way to spend an afternoon together....which would lead to what I might be rewarded with in the evening...*winks*

Pampering yourself, being doted upon, coming out feeling refreshed and shining. Endota Day Spas are…read morethe most common spas around at the moment, and they are very popular. I have taken many of my girlfriends here for their birthdays, and I have been suprised a few times myself with spontaneous trips. With an inner city location, this Endota is smaller and a little noiser than others, just from sheer building size and traffic. But they have decked the place out with soothing music and equipment and try their best to make the place quiet and serene. Endota Rundle is 3 stories tall, with the reception and entry on the middle level. There is a tea/waiting room downstairs along with some treatment rooms and larger group rooms upstairs. The therapists are amazing, as expected, and they know their stuff, tailoring each treatment to suit the client. Sometimes I have had nice chats with them, or a laugh, or a silent treatment where I have almost fallen asleep. If you want something a little different, get Alex the male therapist, he is pretty cool.

And downstairs is a hair salon (which I haven't tried). Always make an appointment, as it is a popular place! And yes, they will recommend products for your skin, but are not overtly pushy about them. And I can highly recommend Jess, my current beauty therapist, she is very friendly and spends time looking at my skin and adjusting the treatment where needed.

From a perm to a short style, to growing it out again and changing my colour around, Jack and the team are great at what they do. The Aveda tea they serve is delicious and one of my favourite little value-adds that come with getting my hair done here. Not to mention the hand or shoulder massages that I'm treated to every now and then - although I'd not complain if they went for a bit longer! Happy to recommend Elysian :)

The masseuse did such a great job, and continually checked if I was okay/whether I needed more or less pressure. I feel like I can definitely give the girls at SO Spa 4 stars now that I've experienced the nicer, actually relaxing things they have to offer, and not just waxing!

Seriously not great. I've been here twice, once for a haircut and once for an eyebrow wax. The…read morehaircut went smoothly enough, although came out looking a little more conservative than I had wanted. But the wax was one of the worst I've ever had. Waxing itself is never going to be an overly enjoyable activity so the onus to make it bearable rests entirely on the skill and bedside manner of the waxer. This lady did not succeed. She first of all got out a odd looking stick which she used to roll the individual hairs around and tug them out. After maybe a minute of this I asked if she could please just wax, since that's what I came in for and her response was "Oh... well, I suppose if you just can't stand it." She then proceeded to use the wrong wax (ie: strip wax instead of hot wax which is meant for sensitive areas) and told me off for flinching. Aside from essentially implying that it was somehow my fault this all hurt so much, she didn't speak a word to me. All in all, a pretty sucky experience.

The piercing took less than a minute and althought it did hurt and was uncomfortable I had expected that and the pain passed quickly. The studio was incredibly clean and looked to be at a clinical standard. The materials used were all fresh and I felt confident using the service. It was not the cheapest piercing I could find, but I would rather pay extra for the service than feel concerned by environmental factors or feel unsure of the person piercing me. Overall quite happy. I will update this review is their is any need to while my piercing is healing.

I paid $150 to have crap quality (heavy, plastic, matte black - way too long, asked for natural, these were NOT natural looking at all), massive lashes put on. To try and get them removed was such a hassle and I wasn't offered a refund or to replace them with natural looking lashes. The lady who put them on was so surly. So rude. If she had spent 5 minutes asking me questions before the appointment just asking what I wanted none of this would have happened. She saw I was pregnant and couldn't even be bothered offering me a knee pillow. I paid $140 for lash lift and tint. Afterwards my lashes were the same colour and my lashes were as straight as when I went in. Bitterly disappointed. I did these things as a luxury for myself. Lift and tints for birthday. Extensions for pregnancy (and being pregnant means you have so little options to do nice things for yourself).

My family and I, happened to be in town having lunch, when my husband disappeared for a few mins only to return and tell me we are going to the hairdresser. They saw my hair, took pity on me and within a couple hours, George and team had corrected the horror on my head and replaced it with everything I originally had wanted from the first hairdresser. I felt welcomed, I felt important and was treated like a queen. I walked out of the salon feeling like a million bucks. I will be coming back from now on and recommending them to my family and friends. Thank you George, for taking such good care of me.
