The perfect day of pampering in New Zealand

"Went to Silk Tree to treat myself and the boyf to a one-hour massage. An excellent decision. The ladies were friendly, the room was perfectly warm, the interior was very clean and classy, and I left so relaxed that I was practically sleepwalking. Plus they even texted me the morning of to remind me about my appointment. Highly recommended."

"I forgive Hairmony for their name because they are otherwise pretty cool. I went in for a Brazilian wax and the beauty technician, Roxie, was great. She made the experience as pleasant and comfortable as is possible. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and there’s a discount for return customers. I’ve been going from salon to salon thanks to grabone, but this place is a keeper. It’s a bit out of my way but definitely worth the trip."

"I went to Paradis this evening for a basic manicure and pedicure. I've never really bothered with this sort of thing before, but I think I’m now a believer. The interior is pretty classy, chandeliers and fireplaces and nice wallpaper. The chair for the pedicure gives you a massage while your nails get did, and the ladies there are friendly and professional. The experience was very relaxing, and I can’t get over how great my hands and feet feel. And the manicure itself is tidy and basically looks perfect. I chose a dark red and feel very grown up."
