I used to get regular spray tans here - back in the Lauren's Way days! I have recently been looking…read morefor a salon where I can get everything done in the same place, and I remembered Allure! I booked a big pre-holiday appointment - body waxing, Yumi lashes, eyebrows, nails, toes, the works! A 50% deposit is taken, which I understand and, personally, appreciate - I can trick myself into thinking I'm spending less lol. There are multiple pop-ups and messages throughout the booking process which make the necessity for patch tests extremely clear. In my opinion it couldn't be clearer. I have since booked an appointment for mid-July - body waxing, Yumi lashes, eyebrows, and nails. I have had it in my head for weeks that I need to pop in for a patch test (yes, the patch test pop-ups throughout the booking process are really that unforgettable!!). I never thought I'd feel proud of myself for not needing my hand held through the process of a patch test.

Yesterday was my first visit to Elysian, I got my eyebrows threaded and tinted. All the staff were…read morevery friendly and created a nice relaxed atmosphere. I've been getting my eyebrows threaded at a few different places around the city for the last couple of years, this was by far the best. Almost every other place I've gone to has taken way too much off, despite me telling them I wanted a fuller look to frame my face. The therapist took great detail in explaining the differences in each brow and told me as I'm so fair it could take 2 years for me to achieve the look I want without having to use pencil and powder to fill. Not sure if this was an upsell technique but I appreciated the honesty! She was very careful to remove the bare minimum whilst trying to make them even. Although it's more expensive than a lot of other places I was absolutely delighted with the results, I felt like she really listed to what I wanted and my face looked so different afterwards, being properly framed. I made my follow up appointment on the spot and was given a loyalty card- not sure what exactly this entitles me to. I met a friend for lunch afterwards and even though I was wearing less make up than usual she commented on how well I looked which I definitely think was down to the eyebrows!

Hi ....I had the great pleasure of having my hair styled by Rhonda in Hessions Clontarf yesterday …read more She is without doubt one of the best hairstylist I have ever been to. I got exactly what I asked for which is a very rare occurrence. I knew before she even dried my hair that it was a great cut .It's a lovely salon with very welcoming staff.......I will definitely be back. Thank you so much Rhonda ....I hardly recognised myself this morning when I looked in the mirror.......well the hair anyway lol......

I left my visit at Hession completely distraught. They put the wrong brown colour in my hair -…read morecompletely darker and different shade to what I had asked for, with badly done stripy highlights that were white in colour as opposed to the golden/buttery blonde asked for. My hair felt like elastic/straw after and was breaking even with a gentle brush. They did give me a refund and a new appointment for the disaster to be salvaged. Upon return, they had to strip all the colour out. This further destroyed the condition of my hair - which had been perfect before my visit. The stylists left me sitting in the hair-washing station for an hour as they had squeezed me in due to it not being an original appointment. I had to take a day off work for them to fix the mess they created and they treated me with disgusting neglect and rudeness with no uttering of an apology. If you value your hair, stay away from this place which obviously hires hair dressers off the street yet charges high-end prices.

I opted for the Essential Manicure, which covers everything a US mani normally comes with - massage, cuticle care, file, polish and shine. I couldn't quite find the shade I wanted and kept saying, "A slightly redder, lighter oxblood" so Lien pulled out a few shades and tested a few on my nails. She also suggested making our own shade by doing a red base with a darker top... And she nailed it! (Heh) I would have never thought of it and it sounds silly to get so excited but I've just never had anyone nail this color before! (Yay all the puns!) I love my nails and will definitely come back to see Lien again before I leave. :)

So my regular beautician left Ireland. Then I found someone else via Groupon or another voucher…read morecompany but she let me down and I was left with bushy eyebrows...Sad. I decided to plow through Gumtree and I happened upon Kate who was offering inexpensive wax treatments, including €7 eyebrows, €5 upper lip and €26 Brazilian (now you all know my beauty regime!) Kate was very quick to respond when I texted her and I set up an appointment. Kate is a lovely Hungarian woman who has lived in Ireland for 13 years. She runs a little beauty salon out of her home and provides professional, inexpensive, clean and excellent service for both men and women. After getting to know Kate for a while now, I decided to take her up on a facial skin cleaning (€44). For over an hour she removed all the pores and blackheads, moisturised and massaged my face and decolletage with Gigi products (from the Dead Sea). I left feeling incredibly clean and my face was glowing. Kate also provides body massages, body treatments, manicures and make up. Go on her site and trust me, you will not be disappointed.

I don't know how to put this is less funny words but I have not experienced the pain of wax burns…read moreuntil I used Oasis Beauty. This was a spa going very wrong day. I had a photoshoot and went there to get my eyebrows shaped. Firstly, I had to buy a mask that gave a big rash around my mouth, then I felt a lot of pain after the work underneath my eyebrows. I thought it was just because my skin was somehow more sensitive than normal but I found out the next day, I had a very bad burn under my eyebrows. I contacted them initially about the issue with the mask, just to alert them and help other customers and I got an email with a long explanation of how it was not caused by them and how other people were not affected. So I thought it was pointless to tell them about the severe burn I had. The pictures are attached. Today is day 5 and it still hurts quite a lot.

After a very long week, I felt the best way to cheer myself up is to go to a Spa. Of course. Who…read moredoesn't :) 1* For the response time : It's Wednesday night and I browsing on my phone, in my bed, for a spa close from where I live and with treatment at a reasonable price. That's when I remember a poster I saw along the Luas line advertising a new Spa in Smithfield. I check on facebook, here they are ! 10.15pm : I decide to enquire about body wraps 10.30pm : I get a response that they do provide this treatment 10.45pm : I have an appointment for Thursday evening at 6pm 11pm : I fall asleep, content 1* For the reception area : As soon as I entered the Spa I felt overwhelmed by peace. The place is quiet and warm. Perfect combination. The beauty therapist is waiting for me to fill in some health related details - compulsory before starting any treatment. They even offer me some water without me asking. 1* For the changing room : The therapist shows me the locker I am going to use and explains what I need to do. The room is not very big but it has a locker with 8 section, for 8 clients at the same time. Each locker has a cosy bathrobe, some biodegradable underwear and slippers. There is also a chair in the room. 1* For the beauty room : When I am ready changing, the therapist shows me the way to the beauty room. The place is new and clear and well presented. The therapist explains the procedure for the treatment and then leaves the room while I slip under the towel on the beauty bed. There are plenty of little lights on the ceiling. I prefer to think of them as stars, that's the romantic me talking. 1* For the treatment : The first part is scrubing. I am on my back. Every limb is scrubbed thoroughly. I really appreciated that the therapist took the time to uncover every part one at a time. She even took special care to hide my chest with a smaller towel so that we could scrub my stomach without reveiling anything else. Then I turned over and again she scrubbed. Once this was done, I was invited to go in the shower area (in the room of course) and rince off all the product. There was a hand towel to help me, a bath towel waiting for me after the shower and an extra pair of underwear. She paid special attention to clean my feet before anything so I would slide on the floor. The rest of the treatment was smooth. I was covered in a very moisturising cream/mask which was applying with a relaxing massage. I was finally wrapped in a warm blanket over the towel. While I was 'cooking' the therapist gave me a scalp massage, which she had asked me permission for earlier in the procedure. Simply amazing. 1* For the timing : 75 minutes of pure heaven. 1* For the overall experience : I am so happy of how it all went. I left definitely relaxed and happy. I promised myself to go back very soon ! I highly recommend this place. Feel free to contact me should you have questions or comment and I will get back to you asap. Enjoy :)

I have been to two other threading places before and have found her the best so far - I was always in more pain in the other places and also not always happy with the results.

Neelu is very honest and will tell you if your brows need long-time work so I do understand where the other reviewer is coming from.
