Best brows MILLIE HERD

In her light-filled mezzanine studio on Rundle Street, make-up artist and brow expert Millie Herd (millie herd.com.au) conducts one-on-one consultati­ons before she shapes, tints or fills. Herd uses only scissors and tweezers, never wax (which she says can stretch and tear skin around the eyes), and her gentle touch means you’ll come away with modern arches sans redness.

Best massage THE SANCTUARY AT HOVE

Offering an array of therapies – from remedial, deep-tissue and hot-stone massage to craniosacr­al therapy, myofascial cupping and reflexolog­y – The Sanctuary at Hove (thesanctua­ryathove.com.au) is a suburban standout. Owner Melissa Lambert’s healing hands do wonders for muscle tension.

Best haircut PARLOUR UNLEY

Parlour Unley (parlourhai­runley. com) is the chic home of Jason Fassbender, crowned Australian Hairdresse­r of the Year at the Hair Expo Awards. Whether you snag an appointmen­t with him (he’s booked out months in advance) or one of his team, you’ll walk away with what he says is “killer hair”. Stock up on Kérastase and Kevin Murphy products while you’re here.

Best nails MEDIPEDI

This upscale nail bar is a clever blend of beauty therapy and podiatry. Classic manis and pedis are available but the speciality is a medical pedicure ($125), which includes a podiatry treatment for optimal foot and skin health. For colour, MediPedi (medipedi nailspa.com.au) is a fan of Dazzle Dry, a non-toxic vegan polish that dries “rock-hard” in five minutes. The new Norwood clinic is just as bustling as the flagship salon in Unley.

Best facial JURLIQUE

Jurlique’s Classic Signature Facials are conducted in tranquil rooms within its retail store at Burnside Village (jurlique.com.au), near the brand’s birthplace in the Adelaide Hills. As the name suggests, these calming facials eschew high-tech processes like peels, laser and light therapy, instead using extracts of ingredient­s such as rosemary, rose petals, lavender and chamomile.
