Pure Indulgence - Carindale Concept (2025 reviews)

Comment

Unfortunately this was a really unpleasant experience. It took an hour for a brazillian wax and she kept going over and over the same area. It was very painful and she just kept applying thick layers of wax. She did each side 4 times, alternating between, eventually saying that it was getting pretty red so she shouldn't keep going (she did offer to tweeze what was left but by this stage I just needed to get out of there). Despite this, no aftercare products were made available before I dressed. She reminded me multiple times that I should come more regularly. I appreciate that more frequent waxing will make each visit less painful but I don't feel this accounts for the level of discomfort I experienced today. Surely I should be able to expect a decent level of service regardless of how long it's been since the last wax? If not, this should be made clear upon booking. To be honest, the reason I haven't had regular waxes for the past 12 months is because I've had three consecutive miscarriages during that time and just wasn't ready to have any more poking and prodding in the area than I'd already experienced. Now that I'm ready to get back to regular waxes, I'll find somewhere else to get them done. Amy was polite and friendly, it was just unfortunate that the wax was so unpleasant.

I know that I booked in for a repeat treatment (the August promotion) and when I was going back for my next round of treatment I was informed that I was not to get my two other treatments as you are not allowed to purchase promotional packages outside if you have already brought one which is not what I was told when I brought the second package so I have overspent for one treatment for not getting the rest of the package! total rip off and I am most not happy about it. This is also the third time I have had my appointment rescheluded by the salon so Pure Indulgence Concept Store at Carindale needs to get there act together! Also, I watched ten different customers come in while I was waiting wanting to purchase products and no one was in the reception area for over 15 mins.

The girl who did my eyebrows spent the entire time trying to sell me products when she should’ve been focusing on my eyebrows because one of them is significantly shorter than the other. Additionally, the skin under one of my eyebrows Is still red today and feels as though it’s been burnt.

I'm glad I was given my pedicure as a gift and I didn't have to pay. $69 for a pedicure and you don't even get a foot massage or top coat on your nails. I would much rather pay $35 at one of the other nail salons and get a great foot and half leg massage along with a better finish on the nail polish.

Usually I speak highly of my services I experience at pure indulgence. I had my first Brazilian wax last Friday. Expecting it to be painful, I did not expect the level of pain due to the wax being used. The technician tried to pull the wax when the wax had not set properly. Not only that, many times over the wax once set kept breaking. I felt like for the majority of the waxing, it was pulled off in sections because of this. It was hugely painful. I was expecting the wax to be pulled off in one motion. Sometimes the wax was pulled up to four times In order to peel it off completely. The technician apologised for this many times over. I have a terrible rash due to broken skin. It is still there over a week later. I will never be returning for a Brazilian at this beauty salon due to the experience I had.

Therapist had left and we were not told Replacement therapist was brusque and did not do nearly as good a job as we are used to
