Hen’s Pampering – Help!

Hi beauties 🙂
I’ve got a bit of a dilemma on my hands – One of my best friend’s hen’s parties has been over-taken by her sisters, they haven’t taken any of her requests into consideration and are doing the whole thing at her mother’s place, much to my girlfriend’s disappointment.
Anyway, another friend and I got together and thought we would take her out on the day before to really spoil her. We’ve booked a night at the Hilton South Warf, plus dinner at a great restaurant in southbank. Now for the dilemma part – a few weeks ago I saw a deal on Groupon for a 2 hour pampering session for only $79. I read carefully through the fine print before purchasing three vouchers for us to use on the Friday afternoon. I went to book our appointments earlier in the week and the salon “doesn’t have the facilities” to see the three of us at once. They’ve been super un-helpful and I’ve now put in a request with Groupon hoping to get our money back.
The reason I’ve come to the BH forum is because I’d still love to do something on the day (four weeks from today) to help my lovely friend feel special and spoiled. Does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere to go that could accommodate three of us at once within the Melbourne metro area?
Thanks so much 🙂 x

    I’ve never been here, but someone I worked with was going there regularly (I haven’t worked with this person for 12 mths so I don’t know if she still goes there).

    After all that’s gone into not only organising this hen’s but also everything for the wedding, I sure am going to be ready for some relaxation!! I could go any and all of these treatments right now ahhhhh, that’d be nice!

    Your welcome Spunkx! I’ve had my brows done at Miss Fox, there were a few ladies having their nails done and sipping champagne when I was there. I thought to myself would be a lovely place to come with some girlfriends. Also i’m just looking at http://www.groomspa.com.au/menu atm – your thread got me thinking that I wouldn’t mind some pampering too atm 😀 good luck and let us know how you go!

    Groom Spa looks like a little slice of amazing, but I have to admit I am struggling to find an appropriate package in our price range…. I’d be happy to spend a bit more, but my other friend is a new mum so doesn’t have tonnes of excess spending money atm! Stressing a bit about finding somewhere that can fit us all in on the same day and ideally same time.

    Haha, I was thinking the same when I was offering suggestions… ‘ooh that would be kinda nice to book in for’! 😛

    A word of warning, Miss Fox is a little $$ and it can be really hard to get in. 🙂 I’ve actually met her! If you can, go for it, it’s supposed to be a good experience. 🙂

    Haven’t heard of Miss Fox before, sounds intriguing! Thanks for the tip Little Jo, I’m checking it out now 🙂 x

    Aww you poor love – have you looked at Miss Fox? they are in Little Collins street between swanston and elizabeth – very nice plush place complete with grand chandelier and a bar! http://www.missfox.com.au/ABOUTMISSFOX/ABOUTMISSFOX.aspx

    Aw, you poor little chook. Don’t beat yourself up, it was a lovely thing to do and it’s not your fault they were so silly, you did read the fine print!

    I hope that helps, good luck!

    Be sure to check the ‘specials’ tab for each place! 🙂 Because you’re going on a weekday (I think), they normally have specials that they probably wouldn’t have on a Saturday. Oh and be sure to tell them it’s for a hen’s, they sometimes go an extra step further to give you a memorable experience. 🙂

    Thanks again for all your advice! The Smooth Day Spa at Melbourne Bath House have heaps on offer 🙂
