After years of being on camera, former model and television presenter Amy Erbacher learned a thing or two about beauty, so she swapped her glamorous career to study beauty and pursue her passion for effective, individually-customised skin care and the result is one of the best beauty salons in Sydney. From facials, manicures and pedicures to waxing and body treatments, Amy is an effervescent host, fussing over her clients in her private residence with the kind of attentiveness and personable care other day spas couldn’t possibly replicate. She uses Payot, an array of organic products and cosmeceutical vitamin boosters such as A, C, Beta-Glucan and COQ10. Book in for her signature 75-minute facial ($130), which uses enzyme exfoliation rather than a harsh scrub – the generous accompanying face, neck, shoulder and foot massage will leave you floating on another stratosphere. Amy is also well-known for her excellent spray tans – useful if you’ve just arrived to Sydney and want to blend in with the locals.
