Went to Renee's for the first time last week for an underarm wax, she really knew her stuff and is an expert at making the customer feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be coming back for sure!

I am from Melbourne but needed to find somewhere to have a wax. Thank God for Renee. Wonderful service, kind, attentive and a great job!
Next time I'm in Canberra, I'll be back!

The do a really fabulous spray tan at Rest and Recuperate, I also recommend their manicures.

Thought I should mention this so there's no contention, I am friends with Renee through another friend of mine.

I've been using a Braun Silk-épil 7 epilator on my chest for a few months, but I was getting a lot of regrowth and very quickly (about every three or four days). I'm guessing a lot of the hairs were just being broken by the epilator. I was getting ingrown hairs and pimples and the regrowth was coming back way too fast. My chest didn't look good at all. I spoke to Renee about other waxing options and decided to give 'sugaring' a try. And suffice to say, I'll definitely be going back.

I left it about 10 days after last using the Silk-épil before seeing Renee and it's been about seven days since my appointment. My chest is still mostly hair free, some minor re-growth which Renee expected. I didn't get any additional pimples, ingrown hairs or spotting from the treatment. In fact, even now (a week later), my chest is smoother than it has ever been.

And the actual sugaring experience was very easy and trouble free. Renee advised me what to do (and what not to do) post appointment and set my expectations as to what I should expect and when I would likely need a follow up. The after treatment product she used was amazing; a beautiful, soothing and refreshing lemongrass balm that I loved.

Big thanks to Renee, I'll be seeing you soon for my next appointment.

Approximate cost: $35

I have been seeing Renee now for 6 years and I couldn't imagine using any other beautician who is as professional and attentive as she is!!! I regularly see Renee for waxing, spray tans, pedicures and facials. I was very impressed with my latest facial and couldn't believe how dewy and bright my skin was after the facial!!!! I've also just started using Pevonia skin care as a result and I'm very excited to see the difference!! I would and have recommend Renee for all treatments. Renee really makes you feel comfortable and provides a relaxing experience!

At 39 weeks pregnant I was extremely nervous about getting a Brazilian wax. Renee made me feel exceptionally comfortable from the moment I walked in. It was by far the best waxing experience I have ever had and was definitely worth the drive from the other side of town. I can't recommend Renee enough and look forward to going back.

I had been seeing Renee for 8 years for all different things from waxing to skin care and make up. I have sensitive skin and Renee has helped me so much with my skin being able to provide me and advise me of products that would agree with my skin and get it under control.
I absolutely love the sugaring and cannot recommend it enough. The results it gives are incredible, no ingrown hairs, the hair regrowth is so fair and less painful than waxing.
Renee is so caring and passionate about her work it is always a pleasure to see her.
As I've just moved away from Canberra I'm going to miss my appointments with Renee and can't wait for my next visit to Canberra so I can make an appointment with her.

I was introduced to Rest and Recuperate by a friend for my wedding waxing needs. I had sugaring done on my eyebrows, lip and legs. Ive always been really nervous going to salons and felt like i was being judged but Renee is completely the opposite. She mad me feel really comfortable and did an amazing job aswell. Its so hard to find good beauty therapists and if your looking for someone to take care of your beauty needs and to return to everytime i highly recommend Renee. Im never going anywhere else again!
And if your a waxer give sugaring a go. Alot less painful and you dont walk away feeling sticky and sensitive. I cant wait to go back for more waxing!

I had the pleasure of introducing my close friend to Renee yesterday in preparation for her wedding this weekend. We both thoroughly enjoyed our Body Sugaring experience!

I went to see Renee before my wedding 5 years ago and it is so lovely to know that you are in experienced hands. She tends to your every needs and is very gentle and caring.

From the moment you arrive parking is easy/quiet/stress free, and then you step into a very modern and relaxing Salon, warmly welcomed by Renee.

Already counting down until our next visit

Just had another Sugar Wax from Renee. I am feeling great and no where near as sensitive as with normal wax. This was my third time having a Sugar Wax and I am already seeing the difference in my hair growth. It is thinning out and is less stubborn than usual.Thank you so much Renee for learning and implementing this amazing new way of waxing! You truly are incredible!
