These guys do the best Thai massage in Sydney! The premises aren't fancy but they're clean, comfortable and well-maintained. Every massage I've had has really worked my muscles and I feel like I'm floating afterwards. I can't go past a 10 minute neck massage for $10 when I'm walking past either!

Approximate cost: $35

Been here for Brazillian and laser - the girls on staff are so fast, friendly and they make things as painless as possible.

These guys have been around for ages and they're still the best. Sharon is a haircut genius - she's so fast and I'm always impressed. Free fringe trims and Tony who I think started with the salon as an apprentice does great colour. Love them!

Approximate cost: $75

Avoid this practice at all costs. The receptionist didn't confirm identity properly leading to a stranger cancelling my surgery appointment - I had a fridge full of soft food, time booked off work and family flying to Sydney to look after me. This was very sloppy and unprofessional, but if you'd believe it the dentists are worse than the receptionists. Dr. Frances Maloof, an oral surgeon, is rude, judgemental and has the bedside manner of a 1950's headmistress. BEWARE if you are an anxious patient.

Approximate cost: $2000
