This review is with respect to the waxing. A friend of mine told me about this place, said she had been and it was the bet wax she had ever had, so I went the following week. She was right, I still come here. What is different is the wax they use. It is not strip wax. The hot wax is applied to your skin, it cools and becomes like a thick film on your skin at which point the beauty therapist peels it off like a plaster, no pain. It is formulated to only take out the hair, it only adheres to the hair, not your skin. That is why you should go, painless waxing, it is possible. Great professional staff too, clean facilities and private rooms. I recommend it highly.

More to the point, it was the most pleasant, least painful wax I've had. Changing it up from the usual private room wax, you grab a chair, much like a hair salon and hang out in a comfortbale relaxed space whilst women and men alike get tended to (dont worry - if your going for a wax elsewhere on your body, they have private rooms and men - they even have a man cave!?) This place gets huge bonus points for being quick, easy and painless! It is also very male friendly so get amongst people! AND the lady apologised for being padantic - having a pandactic person wax you may be the best thing ever!

And OFF itself is clean and modern--much more so than many places I've been to both in NZ and back home in the US. They're not your average waxing place, which is apparent from the second you load their website to make a reservation. I've been going to them for several months now and always look forward to it (rather than, you know, dread getting waxed, which was previously the norm). Their website is also really tidy, well designed, and easy to navigate, so making reservations is actually a pleasant experience.

Sure, I've had a massage in Bali that costs all of $12, but spend ten times that at East Day Spa and the experience is elevated to perfection. From the first welcome accompanied by a cup of peppermint tea, to the calming music and beautifully appointment treatment rooms, everything is carefully thought about so you can spend time focussing on being relaxed. A massage here is exceptional, with the therapists obviously holding a high amount of training and experience. Sore legs? They'll spend more time on those when you tell them beforehand. A little knot in your left shoulder? Don't worry, they'll find it and gently knead it out. Don't worry about walking out feeling like an oil slick as they'll use hot towels to remove excess oil before giving you an oil-free face massage. This small attention to detail is what sets more expensive massages apart from cheaper alternatives. And it's not just massage they do well at East Day Spa. I've had facials and pedicures and every time I've walked away feeling relaxed and happy knowing I got exactly what I hoped for. In my eyes, that's money well spent.

Ellipse is a little health and beauty store located on Dominion Road. I've been going there on and…read moreoff since I was 15, and can honestly say it's still the best place to go for a wax or to get your eyebrows threaded. The staff are professional and usually pretty friendly - always a bonus when you're getting your kit off - and they're also really good at what they do. To get your eyebrows threaded only takes minutes and they're always done evenly - again another huge bonus! The staff at Ellipse also listen to what you ask for. They appreciate not everyone loves really thin arched eyebrows, and happily shape them how you want them. Compared to other beauticians, Ellipse have always been very reasonably priced. While some places may charge $60 or more for a bikini wax, Ellipse are far more affordable and usually ask for around $25-$30. Having recently undergone a bit of a face lift, the Ellipse building now looks far more appealing and according to my friend who went there just last week, the service is still brilliant. I definitely recommend Ellipse to any woman in need of a bit of TLC! Tip: Ellipse has become quite popular so ring ahead and book your appointment!

I've been going there for a while, mostly because of the location, but also because they do a good job and when you're getting a wax, you kind of don't want to take a risk with that shit. I was seeing one girl for a while, but then I swapped because she wasn't available one day. I'm not particularly loyal to any particular beauty therapist, but they are both nice. I've had a facial there a couple of times, it's been good. I kind of how they try and up-sell you at the end though. That sucks. It's like, "hey man, I've already spent $115 for on you cleaning my face and now you tell me I don't drink enough water and I need some kind of special moisturiser?!"

I am one of those people who was never comfortable with brazilian wax type settings, I mean how is it not awkward that a complete stranger is all over your bits? I thought it would be until a friend told me to try out Caci. The nearest Caci clinic to me was New Lynn so I booked in and went for my brazilian. It was not an awkward experience at all. It was painful yes but I was not uncomfortable, the lady who did it for me was at ease and chatted with me about general things. Plus what I loved the most about Caci was the hygiene, I felt it was worth paying $70 per session if you are going to be in a clean environment.

I have always said to myself, whenever I can afford it I will get IPL. Well at this price I could, so without thinking or researching the place I grabbed the deal. I guess this could be seen as being quite silly of me, but after having taken the risk I have no regrets. I really rate Royal Beauty! At Royal Beauty they perform a number of treatments from IPL, waxing, nails, skin therapy, and much more. Having just recently renovated the premise, it looks 100 times better and so much more inviting. I really love what they have done with the place as I feel it will make it more appealing to public who have never heard of them before. I can be the first to say I was incredibly sceptical when I first arrived at their location. I have been going to Royal Beauty for over a year every 4 weeks for IPL treatments. I cannot rate this product enough, I love it. The results give you the confidence to do anything! Especially in summer times when there is a lot of maintenance to be had. Tania and Nancy are the owners and absolutely lovely women, the would be more than willing to help you out with any questions or queries.
