$13 for a manicure! What a bargain. Sure it took almost 90mins but remember this: everyone has to…read morestart somewhere and this salon at the South Bank TAFE, manned by students of the school, is hands-on (no manicure pun intended) experience for beauty therapists in training. They offer a range of services from waxing, to tinting and facials. All at remarkably lower prices than a salon. Would I have my brows done here? Honestly, no and thats just my pedantic ways. But for something as cut and dry as a simple manicure - sign me up! That said, as I sat having my manicure there were women of all ages having treatments from pedicures, brow waxes and brow tints to great success. Plus, there's a course supervisor monitoring at all times. My nails have been victims of my stress nail biting and needed a good tidy up to return them to human and prepare them to regrow to luscious tallons (I just felt like this review needed the word tallons). My therapist was nervous but still did a decent job. In fact, her attention to tidying my cuticles was more than I've seen at any professional salon. Just don't walk in expecting the world, an intimate salon experience (you're in an education facility surrounded by others having treatments) or a million nail polish colours and this will be a just fine way to spend $13 on yourself. I'll be back.

It was my birthday and I booked for a Decadence for the feet pedicure and every staff member that I crossed paths with wished me a happy birthday, I felt like an old friend, not just a new client. The visit started by changing into a robe and slippers, now I am a fluffy guy robe's usually don't fit, but that wasn't the case here, the robe fitted perfectly. Then I was taken to a relaxation room where I got to chill and relax even before the treatment started. Being my birthday there were three of us getting pedi's, and despite the chatter between us when it came to the hot stone massage we all fell silent and drifted to an almost comatose state of bliss. I have to say having pedicures are the ultimate luxury experience for me and I've been around awhile and had a few over my time and I can say that I have never had a more luxurious pedicure in my life!! Just when I thought it couldn't get better because it was my birthday we were given a glass of champagne and chocolates. This place offers the wow factor on so many levels. If you are visiting the hotel or just want to indulge in someone for a special occasion I would highly recommend them, I know I am taking my mum in for another double pedicure session for mothers day this year!

Feel like getting spoiled? I did. And after a massage, skin brushing, body polish, milk bath, body…read morewrap and 60 minute massage (aka the "spirit of the senses" package) I was ready to propose to Stephanie right then and there. If I just could have managed to keep my head up. It started out as usual - a locker room visit, a silky robe, and short wait in the lounge before I was led to my treatment room. From there it was 2.5 hours of bliss, all in one room, all with one therapist. This was definitely more of a relaxation massage, and though I mentioned it a few times, it was a little light for my liking... but at that point I was too relaxed to let it bother me. It certainly wasn't a cheap pampering session, but if you're looking to spoil someone rotten, this is definitely your place. Hydrated and velvety doesn't even begin to describe how my body felt afterward and after a beautiful tea in the lounge to round off the experience, I was ready to take over the world (perhaps right after a long nap).
