Located on the corner of Eldon Road and Dominion Road, The Villa Skin Spa is a charming wee beauty…read moreand day spa. Run by Fleur Harding, a trained beauty therapist, The Villa Skin Spa offers a variety of beauty and pampering packages. Whether you want your legs waxed, eyebrows shaped, full body massage, facial, electrolysis, spray tan or bridal makeup done, The Villa Skin Spa can accommodate your every need. One of the best things about The Villa, and one of the things that really sets this place aside from other beauty and day spas is, you are the only client in the building. Fleur is the only therapist that works in her spa, so you have her undivided attention while you are there. It's great! Though all the prices of treatments are pretty standard for beauty spas, The Villa Skin Spa always has great specials and deals on offer that are definitely worth looking out for. The Villa also offers gift vouchers which make the perfect Mother's Day gifts - I got my mum a full body massage and facial package deal for The Villa a few years ago and she was absolutely ecstatic. Keep this spa in mind!!! Bonus: Fleur is lovely. She's really down to earth and genuine, and unlike other beauty therapists, doesn't try and talk you in to treatments you don't need!

Jina's Beauty Point only opened about nine months ago but it's now a firm local favourite, mostly…read morebecause Jina is really good at threading, and she only charges $5 to sort unruly eyebrows out. They don't have a website but if you find them on Facebook, they've handily posted photos of their service and prices. I'm never really clear on whether you can book for complicated or longer services or not; it all seems pretty casual, so if you wanted to turn up and have a full treatment I'm sure Jina would be up for it. I also really like that because you can have to wait for a while sometimes, it's a bit of a hang out: there's often a children's DVD playing, and people tend to come in together and just chat with whoever is there.

Booked here a lot previously did my roots and full face wax with eyebrows and also got gel manicure…read moredone. On Friday I booked in for roots touch up eyelash extensions and full face wax. On the booking the price was $176.00. I have a 3month old son so spoiling myself happens every once in a blue moon, I was late, so thank you to the staff who allowed me to keep my appointment. But that's where it stopped, I had washed my hair that morning no one said not to but I was made to feel like washing my hair was a real problem and added more work for the staff member. If I had known beforehand I wouldn't of , obviously. Then came my lash extensions, the bed I laid on was so hard and uncomfortable I wasn't made comfortable either but just asked if I was okay, to which I kept saying no but she carried on anyway. She asked me for the length I wanted and if I had a pic as guidance the lashes I received weren't anywhere near the pic and she didn't listen to the length, she went with what she thought would be better. Then it was time to wash out my hair, which was done with conditioner because I had washed my hair that morning, this left dye on my forehead and back of my ears and neck. She blow dried it and straightened my hair all without putting any heat protectant and put nothing o my hair after it. My full face wax felt like torture, when she put the wax on my nose she didn't ask she just slapped it on and ripped it off with no pressure to the area was applied after the wax was pulled off from my face and it was honestly so sore and hot feeling. Then the threading brooo I'm old! my skin is sensitive,! I don't want threading! I'm paying for waxing for this reason so hence why I called it torture and she was on the phone whilst doing this, not noticing I was in pain.I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there and put ice on my face! So it came time to pay and it was $200 and she didn't tell me why all she said was are you paying with afterpay to which I said yes and she just pointed at the machine and that was it. Not a nice experience and not the first time, just thought I'd share my review.

However soon I was hearing stories from my friends about how great the foundation was and what a great selection of eye shadows they stock, and I started to take notice. Then my mum came home with a make-up tutorial voucher for the Kingsland branch, so I thought hey, why not. Thank god I went. In just an hour I learnt all about which products are most suitable for my skin type, how to apply bronzer, blush and highlighter depending on whether it is for day or night wear, and also how to do a great smokey-eye - something I'd always struggled with. My tutor was a young funky woman who was incredibly friendly and chatty so even though I was the only customer in the store I was instantly put at ease. She also mixed my foundation there and then for me - unlike most cosmetics stores, Phoenix tailor make/mix their foundations to suit your skin tone. No more putting up with a lighter shade and using darker powder to get the right colour! As well as having a store stocked with eyeshadows, lipsticks, powders, brushes and foundation and providing make-up tutorials, Phoenix also provide eyebrow shaping and tinting services, spray tans and can do make-up for special events like balls and weddings at a very reasonable price. Bonus: As in other cosmetic stores, when you purchase a make-up tutorial or opt to have your make up done for a special occasion, the amount is fully redeemable on product.

I love coming to this place for my make-up whenever I have an event, their prices are very…read moreaffordable and you get to redeem the price of the make-over on their products...amazing! I also always come here for their eyelash extensions, they are false lashes that are semi-permanent! Depending on your lash cycle I think they can last up to 6 weeks. Mine only last about 3 weeks but I have a pretty quick lash cycle they are always coming out, plus I use make-up removers on them which isn't good for them. The price of their extensions is one of the cheapest I know, $50 for their natural set, most places start at around $80! They do an excellent job too, quick and virtually pain free...virtually. The place looks gorgeous, all pretty and pink you really do feel pampered on every visit, try this place out!
