I had lots of photos and memorabilia from years and wanted to put them into some kind of presentation rather than in boxes. These ladies charged a lot for what i wanted but i am extremely happy with the books we made up and gave two as xmas gifts documenting my sisters first pregnancy up to her third child aged 8 together in an album with the babies name ankle tag to scraps of fabrics from outfits. The other album was a trip i went with my friend and we added used ticket stubs,etc, the staffs ideas made the albums presentation amazing/.they are very clever and creative help.

Dropped in to have my nails done , not the fullset just a few touchups and polish...and was very happy i did not need to make an appointment and could be taken straight away as my usual place was flat out busy. Was surprised how many salons that do nails are around this area giving them lots of competition. She did a good job except one nail lifted within a day. I am sure i could go back and have it fixed at no extra charge but as its xmas i am too busy.

Tara was punctual and the massage was great. It was nice being in my home as she comes to you. She found it a bit hot as i had the heating up high as feeling very cold, so i guess i cooked her but she perservered without complaint, only a little joke that she felt we were in the bahamas. She tries very hard and i think shes worked hard to get where she has, perhaps harder than she needed to as she has a grand resume.

These beauty treatments are far more advanced than at other salons and you pay for them too! The girls are very professional and use microdermabrasion and oxygenating treatments which are far more advanced than a traditional facial. The results are great. Nice ambiance in salon too.

I had brazillian laser hair removal and found the therapist very reasuring and confident. The salon was very clean and professional and very clinical when you walk in. The receptionist was very unfriendly but the therapist the opposite or i may not have returned. The laser used is not the traditional IPL impulse laser and the results so far haven't been as excellent as i had expected as hair as not all gone but i will return for further treatments and look forward to a permanent hair free me.

This review is for Medownick Laser Clinic, East Melbourne VIC

Wow Dr. Medownick is an eccentric chap, he performed my laser eye surgery at 11pm after he had been to the opera! The time suited me as i didn't have to take daytime of work. He was dressed very elegantly lol and I am very happy with the results. The only negative is i now have like a halo around lights when i look at them at night. The darker it is the worse the halo effect is. I have got used to it now but after the procedure at the follow up visit i was told that another surgery for it could not be done and it commonly happens. I had spoken to many people and researched eye surgery via laser in great detail and none of them had had this occur. In fact only one negative was a guy who said he felt he had sand in his eye 24/7. i was told this is rare and thankfully I do not have this side effect. The eye doc said it may disappear after time but as yet it has not. I was especially happy with the follow up consultations. Everything was bulkbilled, and i could come as many times as i needed afterwards. One other negative thing was the receptionists were very production line like and when a new client came in and said they were in a hurry, they were taken in before me after I had already waited 25mins after my appointment time and she was seeing the same eye specialist that i did

This medical centre used to be called Dr. Skin and was closed down due to the owner, cosmetic surgeon apparently being deregistered for scarring someones skin. Yet I found her excellent at her treatment although she does push boundaries she gets the results others are cautious to acheive, The great thing for me after having treatment for acne scarring with Dr. Cynthia Weinstein was that she gave me a medicare item number and i was able to claim a large proportion of the cost back. I have had several of these treatments and most salons also offer this service using laser but are much less expensive, and much less aggresive to the skin, however if you have nothing on for a few weeks and can afford the down time the results are far better and the cost is equivolent once you claim at medicare if your acne scarring is bad enough to fall into the right category for a medicare item number. Mild scarring does not. The results my skin has achieved from Dr. Weinstein now has gone from severe to mild scarring category and i am very happy with her treatment and result.

Dr. Choi is here from Korea and has no family here, he studied there as a doctor but its not recognised in Aust so he works as a Dr of chinese medicine. I found him more knowledgable than any western Dr i have been to. I had Fraxal laser, his last patient on xmas eve and he stayed late in the evening for me. My skin is very sensitive and he was extremely cautious not to cause any damage to my skin. He is very professional and also recommended me some chinese herbal medicine which i am finding excellent results from.

This salon has infra red sauna boxes that you get into and it helps lose weight. Two people can fit in and probably taking a pal might halve the price if they don't charge per person. The price is pretty steep for a sauna but its not like any other sauna, not dripping wet like a turkish sauna and not sweaty like a traditional hot stone sauna. This is very comfortably warm and it didn't feel like it was doing anything but the conditions it treats are many. It releases an infra red light which is supposed to penetrate the skin and melt the fat therefore the hardened fat can be burned off and used where in its solid condition it is very hard to move. I have only had one session so far and quite a few are needed to see good results. Very enjoyable and an easy way to lose weight, can't WEIGHT lol for another sess.

Approximate cost: $30 per session
