The first time I had ever heard of this place was through a Grab One deal for 12 months of IPL…read more(laser hair removal) for $250. 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.

I cannot…read morespeak for the hairdressing, although a male friend of mine comes here and he says it is good and his hair looks okay so if you want to go by that and come here for a hair cut, by all means do so. 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.

Off has been voted by Metro as the 'Best Wax ' in Auckland 3 years in a row now. But what exactly…read moreconstitutes the best wax? I had to go check it out for myself. The first impressions were good; on arrival the salon (sneakily hidden down an alley way) had funky interior and a cosy waiting room. I was greeted by a very bubbly chick, perfectly manicured of course (the kind of manicured that makes me think I should be frequenting these types of places more often).The beauty therapist was equally as bubbly, and happily chatted away to me though the entire 'procedure'. The 'procedure' itself wasn't any more pleasant than usual, but the chatter was a good distraction and at least there was no awkward silence. I think the best part was the 'after cream', it was certainly soothing and I quickly forgot the whole ordeal. In the weeks following I was also impressed at the lack of rouge hairs or pesky in-growns; overall it was a superb job. Is it the best in Auckland? Well, I'm no expert, but it's the best I've had north of the bridge for sure!

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!

So glad we did find it though! Friendly staff to greet us, pile of magazines to browse and a pleasant aroma in the air. They have a few rooms that have two massage tables in the same room, which we got. It was warm with a neat little steam making machine in the corner. Nice flower imprints on the surrounding walls with a cool little feature table at the front. Left after accepting the warm water offered. Highly recommend the relaxation massage with it's full body incorporation starting from the back, down to the legs and up to the head and neck. Near fell asleep- so book this one for the afternoon or if you're writing off the day for anything productive then in the morning will be fine as well. Utterly zen after. They do therapeutic, deep tissue, Swedish and hot stone massages as well. They also do facials, derma stamp/ skin needling, hair removal/ wax, threading and IPL. In addition, they also look after hands and feet with manicures and pedicures. Recommend!

Booked in the morning for a 11am session which would last 45 minutes and cost around 40 dollars. The style of massage was traditional Thai, and had its main focus on relieving stress in the muscles. My Thai massage therapist was a tiny lady but boy did she posses a strong hand or two. Her technique started off at my lower back and spine and worked its way up my neck- really relieved every ounce of pressure I had when I walked in, and after 30 minutes I could feel my muscles all relax and soften. Unbelievable, if you are one of those people who can relax with strong pressure massage, then this is a fantastic option. The whole time, they play meditation music whilst you lie and relax, and after you even get a few cups of delicious jasmine tea. I really would like to return again and see what the full body massage is like, I'm sure I would fall asleep for it.
