She's like the eyebrow guru of Sydney and I feel stupid it took me so long to figure it out. My brows are amazing and I found the procedure really worthwhile. I felt safe and in good hands, and the results are life changing. I wish I'd seen Lita years ago.

The girls are all really lovely, and you're in and out in 10 minutes for an underarm/bikini laser treatment. Warning - it's drop-in so it can get pretty busy, particularly around lunch time, so make an appointment if you have a schedule to keep. They do great manicures too (ask for Lauren - she's excellent) and you can't go past $6 for an upper lip wax. Six bucks! That's less than the price of a piece of cake at one of the cafes in the fancy Westfield. I have been having laser there for about 6 months and I'm really happy with the progress.

Terrible nail job! Untrained staff. I got my shellac…read moremanicure done there for my weekend party. The first staff couldn't do her job properly she made me have a sore bleeding finger. And the colour was applied unevenly and the edge of the nail painted in a zigzag shape. when I tried to show and explain to her, she couldn't understand me.... So here came the second staff. She continued the painting and said ' i know it not perfect. But that's the best I can do....' so did I go to the nail shop just to get some imperfect nail painting? Totally speechless! Won't step in to this shop again. Worst nail painting experience ever!!!

My skin tone is pretty pale, on the verge of translucent, and I've never been able to tan. Since…read moreI've been in Australia, I came to the realization that I shouldn't put anyone through the shock and horror that ensues when glimpsing my bare, white legs. So I started to spray tan. I have tried a couple different places in the Surry Hills / Paddington area, but I think the best has been Diva Beauty. I first decided to try this little parlor because I was short of time and needed a spray before heading out for a holiday. I called in the morning and booked in for later in the afternoon. I got there (exfoliated and wearing my loose black clothing, as instructed) and had to wait for nearly an hour and a half until they took me back. Now to be fair, I had called and changed the time of my appointment at midday, but it seems like that length of a wait still wasn't warranted. Either way, the girl that did my spray really knew what she was doing. She gave me nice even color without the freakish "surfer tan" look, i.e. extra dark face and hands. The shop was comfortable and clean and even though being sprayed with cold, sticky mist while naked inside a tent is an odd experience, Diva Beauty was comfy and professional.

Con - The downside of being quick is it is a little painful. I think the wax they use isn't the best quality which explains the difference in price. But I would still recommend going there (unless you are very sensitive).
