Beauty & Spas in Victoria

Captained by three gurus of holistic medicine, the therapists of Healing Hands Chair Massage soothe weary muscles both in-studio or through mobile services. At team headquarters, they instill relaxation through massages embellished by a bed of warm and cold stones that clients lay atop to loosen muscles and purge pesky back plankton. For businesses, therapists deploy via parachute to workplaces or industry events toting massage chairs designed to reduce strain and boost circulation in body parts most commonly affected by work—the back, shoulders, neck, arms, and hands.

As guests meander past BioSundara's expansive windows and in through the front door, they might glimpse the metallic busts of a male and female mannequin. Gleaming and smooth, these flawless human forms represent the med spa's ever-evolving goal—to leave each client as polished and blemish-free as possible. Guests tread over a granite entryway before awaiting their appointments on a mod cream-coloured couch or exchanging tearful goodbyes with their laugh lines in private rooms with sleek hardwood floors. The med spa's specialists harness the power of laser energy to leave skin looking immaculate, whether that involves removing unwanted hair or clearing up acne. Technology also fuels a bounty of wrinkle-reducing beauty injections, along with microdermabrasion treatments and peels fuelled by products from SkinCeuticals, Jan Marini Skin Research, and EltaMD. Unlike most med spas and bank vaults, BioSundara opens its doors to the public every day of the week.

Versed in traditional Chinese medicine and massage therapy, the practitioners of Dao Health Centre create personalized care plans to enhance patients' mental and physical health. During initial consultations, physicians learn about clients through diagnostics such as sensory observations, tongue inspection, and pulse readings. They then tailor integrative treatment plans that may incorporate therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and acupressure massage.

Luly Lash’s technicians share two obsessions: beauty and cleanliness. To achieve the latter, they don surgical masks and latex-free gloves before carefully affixing extensions to each of their clients' natural lashes. Their private treatment rooms keep the outside world’s filth at bay as they use sterile tweezers to grip strands one-by-one. The results range from discreet to dramatic and speak to their mutual appreciation for beauty. With proper aftercare, the extensions should last for at least two weeks, or approximately 13 days longer than a beard of soap bubbles.
