Flawless is a newly opened spa on Wyndham Street, specialising in bespoke facials, nail grooming and make-up services.

It's quiet when I arrive, and the Edith Piaf music playing in the background and vintage-style furniture lend the place a classy edge. It has a predominantly black and white interior, broken only by the odd splash of colour, such as the hot pink door that leads to the treatment rooms. I'm led through one of these doors by my therapist, Angela, who gives me a whispered tour of the facilities.

The treatment rooms are simple, spacious and white - there's a double room for couple treatments - the highlight being the bed which is deliciously comfortable and padded, and comes with a soft, cosy white duvet instead of just the usual towel to cover you.

The spa uses three product lines for facials: Aromatherapy Associates, Medik8 and Refinery. Rather than pinpoint a facial before I arrive, I'm encouraged to wait for a consultation on the spot to determine which is best suited to my needs.

Angela begins by asking what kind of "concerns" I have about my skin. Everything, I reply. In this humid heat, my skin somehow manages to be simultaneously oily and dry.
