I booked in my appointment at Ella Bache to get a manicure and pedicure done for my wedding. I asked them if I could use my Ella Bache voucher which I had previously received as a gift from a friend. The lady said this store doesn't redeem gift vouchers and there was an issue with it with many stores. (Subsequently a few months afterwards I rang Head Office who informed me the store should've taken my voucher and should've contacted Head Office to process it). However at the time I decided to go ahead and book in a manicure and pedicure as it was not too far from my place.

The young girls who worked on myself and my friend there were lovely and chatty but unfortunately the work done was not up to my expectations. The white tip was crooked and lumpy across all my fingernails. The pink polish was very faint and perhaps another couple of coats would have given it some colour. The white tip was very thick, it did not feel smooth when running my fingertip across my nails and had already started chipping before my wedding 2 days later.

At the end of it, the 2 things cost me just under $100. My pedicure was a very light foot scrub which I felt was a bit expensive for what I received. Unfortunately I will not be returning.

Approximate cost: $95
