Harbour Day Spa Review

So you’ll never guess where I spent two blissful hours today….

 

Yes, I was lucky enough to be invited as a guest of  Harbour Day Spa to experience their pampering, which I have to say is absolutely first class all the way. Let’s take a look shall we?

 

First up is the reception area,  where I was greeted by the friendliest staff I think I’ve ever come across.

 

Harbour Day Spa offers everything from a  hair salon, which happens to have the most amazing view…

 

 

to a make up application area…

 

Of course, they also have full day spa facilities which is where I spent 2 blissful hours.  After I’d completed a quick questionnaire about my skin, I was escorted to the change room, where a robe and slippers were waiting for me

 

Once changed, I made my way to The Tranquility Room, where I relaxed with a refreshing glass of water and snacked on a bowl of almonds and apricots.  I was then greeted by Laura, who was the therapist looking after me for the next couple of hours.

 

Laura, like all the staff at the salon, was impeccably groomed, very well spoken and extremely friendly. She didn’t even bat an eyelid when she had to look at my old lady, skin damaged, wrinkle ridden skin!

 

Laura used a very  fancy machine to take a picture of my face and then analysed the data to determined all sorts of amazing things such as the texture, redness, pigmentation levels of my skin.

 

Laura spoke to me at length about my skin, which I found really informative, and based my facial around the skin analysis (very clever!)

 

So then it was into the treatment room for what can only be described as The Best Facial Ever. Not even kidding.

 

I knew we were off to a good start when things involved a floral foot soak and a lemongrass infused foot exfoliation.

From there I enjoyed a back and shoulder massage followed by the most amazing facial I’ve ever had.  Not only was my skin cleansed, exfoliated & hydrated but my hands also enjoyed a paraffin treatment while my scalp had one incredible massage.

 

After two blissful hours of pampering I was guided back to The Tranquility Room where Laura thoughtfully provided me with a complete Skin Prescription Form, which outlined the various products that would be best suited for my skin.

 

 

I was then provided with a coffee (yes, they’ve thought of everything!) and wondered how on earth I was going to muster the energy to get in the car and pick up the kids.

 

If you live in Brisbane, or are planning a holiday to Brisbane anytime soon, the Harbour Day Spa absolutely needs to be on your ‘to-do’ list.  They also have a salon on the Gold Coast and both salons currently have a number of specials on offer.
