Good beauty salons in Dublin?

JenniFurr

I'm looking for a good salon in Dublin (preferably around the city centre) that have a good reputation.

I've been doing home waxing for ages now and I've gotten pretty good at it but I'd like to get a professional half leg wax, eyebrow wax and possibly an eyelash tint. I'd like to get any first hand experiences from people who've gone to a good place to get a wax done.

Names, addresses, and pricing would be great. I haven't heard of any spectacular places yet but I heard about a dozen horror stories about Blow so I won't be going any where near that place.

Blow aren't great..my friend worked there..said they were always trying to cut costs and theyre hygiene was awful. They do massage with Johnstons baby oil!

I like Carter in DunLaoghaire..ok its not in the city but it's a lovely salon, lovely staff. Also Brazilia on South william st is great for waxing..as is Urban Wax

If you do a search, you'll see the same places tend to get recommended each time. I would go for Brazilia for the waxing. I think a specialist waxing place is better as they are dealing with it 100% of the time so are better trained.

Check out French Beauty just off Dame Street. Ive been with my sis recently they do half leg waxing from like €10 if you become a member. Couple of packages are in this link

Thanks guys. I think I'll head to Brazilia. I heard that they were really expensive but looking at their price list it doesn't seem too steep. I am confused by something on their list of treatments though; Hollywood & Swarovski Crystal Gem. I know what the Hollywood is but the Swarovski crystal part is a little strange for me. I might ask them what that en-tales when I book an appointment, just for curiousity's sake.

They stick tiny crystals with a sticky back on your newly de-furred area in a design as far as I know.
