Beautify is a secret I don't actually want to share, but for the benefit of the lovely business…read moreowner I will let the secret out :-) This is my fave salon because: (a) it's out of the way, where you will always get a free car park right out the front (most people don't know about Beautify because it's not inside the bustling Jamison Centre); (b) they do beauty AND HAIR in one place; (c) the prices are reasonable; (d) you get spoilt with gentle, personalised attention, no matter what you have done; (e) they use good-quality products; (f) because it's relatively new and unknown, it's not hard to get an appointment; (g) it's quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Need I say more?? Last week I had my long hair trimmed, after a beautician-standard head massage, and then blow-dried, for just over half of what fancy salons in Civic charge. No loud music. No pressure to colour it or buy products. Today I had a proper pedicure. I say "proper" because those nail salons in the mall do not provide a relaxing, individualised, or dignified experience. I also had my eyelashes "permed" (who knew?) and tinted, which will save me time in the mornings! Five stars from me. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

I was just visiting Canberra and needed to find somewhere to get a Brazilian. It's hard to get a…read morereferral for such a service from the concierge. After a bit of research I made an appointment with Laney at Brazilian Butterfly. I was so pleased with my service. Laney was professional, skilled and personable and was able to put you at ease right away. She was quick and thorough as well. The salon was clean and they observed very sanitary practices (no double dipping in the wax). I wish they were in my hometown. I highly recommend them.

I have to admit I didn't expect this place to be where it is (sort of at the top of bleachers at a…read moresports field) but I'm glad it's there. The environment changes for the calmer pretty quickly once you go in. They offer a range of different services but I've mainly used their float tanks. It's organized with everything you need (ear plugs, soaps and towels etc) and the floating experience is pretty good. I've not managed to find a genuinely silent float tank in Australia. It's pretty good but you'll still hear the odd noise through the water if someone's thumping up the bleachers (at least that's what I assume the noise is). Nonetheless a really relaxing place to come, with staff who've always been friendly and helpful.

I absolutely love this location and my stylist, Sheldon…read more I have been to this salon twice and have had excellent experiences both times. Cataldo's was referred to me by a friend and I am so glad I took her advice. Having long hair I went in to see Sheldon for a change. Taking off 6 inches of hair, giving me some layers and taking out some of the bulk (I have extremely thick hair so she was able to thin it out to be more manageable) I was extremely happy. Although my other half is in the process of moving to Brisbane-I will be looking for ways to get back down to Canberra for future cuts! Thank you Cataldo's and Sheldon!

Matt was irrevocably and undoubtedly a well practiced and certified tattoo artist (without a…read moredoubt). Matt has a gentle, warm (about 22 degrees) kind of nature. My tattoo placement was in a tender, sore, supple part of the body but I was equipped with Matt by my side who was truly, honestly, inexcusably supportive. The quality of his work - inspiring, mystical and metaphorically woke. I had a micronap while Matt was tatting me and I married a Scottish fawn in my dream. He was really rich but it wasn't true love. Then the fawn silhouette peeled away and Matt's beaming, grinning, polite face appeared. ... It's been 1 day since then and I can't stop thinking about what a good tattoo artist Matt is. If I was Judge Judy I would rule that Matt is the best tattoo artist in the world. I would knight him as the best tattoo artist in the world and send him to the Olympics immediately. I would suggest if you have savings you should give it to Matt even if you're not getting a tattoo. he's a cool guy he deserves to get rich. #let'sgetmattrich Matt has ears and he's not afraid to use them. Matt's talent is a matter of national security.

I think this is one of the better cuts I've had in a while. Prices are quite reasonable given the quality of the cut (about $35 for a basic men's haircut). Be sure to schedule an appointment. They're frequently busy (for good reason!).
