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 :)

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.

Orbe is a large, super big, super buzzing hair salon on the Parade…read more I tried them out before I found my true hair soul mate - and while I got an a-ok trim I haven't been back since. The salon itself is quite large but not intimidatingly so, with a modern fixtures, lots of fresh flowers and lots of people (both customers and stylists). This is one busy place! I had the usual small talk with the stylist as she trimmed my hair - and while she did an OK job, there wasn't a huge difference as I left the salon. I do have reallllly long hair which hairdressers can often be afraid to cut, so I wasn't super surprised. It wasn't cheap - paid around $80 for a wash, trim, blowdry, and my hair looked good when I left but as mentioned it wasn't a huge difference from when I walked in. I also asked about colouring when I was in there, but was put off by a quote of $200+ so never followed it up. Orbe do the whole shebang when it comes to beauty and hair, with a spa area offering facials and other beauty treatments too.

So all I wanted was a trim, but they didn't really get that right. I had shoulder-length hair, not…read moretoo many layers, a long side fringe, just a natural flowy look. They had to go and make the layers too short, the fringe too short (for my liking anyway), resulting in my hair looking limp and thin. Even after they blow-dried the hell out of it. I was suprised and disappointed, considering they are a big, busy salon with many locals. Maybe it was just my bad luck, and I happened to get a newbie or something. I don't know. They were really expensive too. I usually go to Gritti Palace which people say is expensive, but they do a really good job so you get your money's worth. And even then, they're still cheaper than Orbe. After my experience at Orbe, all I can say is... Lucky my hair grows quickly.

I was going to give them a 3 as the service I experienced was ok but when I called back it wasn't…read more When I booked I advised staff I had coloured hair and wanted my blonde evened out and roots to be done. They have me a 3/4 head of foil... it wasn't a full head as there we bits left out (I was fine with this) and I also asked for a trim. When the managed asked once the blonde had been how much I wanted off I then again asked for just a trim she advide just over a inch would need to be taken off... but instead of triming my ends in my current style the girl trimed it straight so I have a straight line at the end of my hair. To top it off my roots weren't done and when I got home I realized I had just paid $230 for something that doesn't even look like it's been done. And they were giving me grief about colouring my own hair.... I'm not going to pay someone $230 when I can do a way better job myself. I called back to advise them I was all happy and the managed told me "roots are a separate thing" This is not true when I have had my hair done in the past they always do the roots. I was mostly just upset about the cost and my roots but when the manager made me feel stupid then I really got upset. They did offer for me to come get my roots done for free but I do not trust them with my hair.
