The stores signature products are the well accredited Eleven brand and if you've ever wanted to get your hands on them then now is the time.

Other than the standard trim and style, The Emporium Barber is well known for their cut-throat shaves.

If you're looking for a Christmas gift for your father, boyfriend, brother or any other male in your life then this is the perfect place.

Owner, Trent recommends Bayola gifts or Creed fragrances as a great gift to give this holiday season but definitely have a look at their large range of offerings and see for yourself all that they have to offer.
Toni and Guy
Chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and fresh flowers on the counter, a lovely setting to walk into and relax in the cool, out of the way of the harsh Brisbane heat.

Ella Bache is world resound for their incredible services where they have you covered for nearly anything you could think of. For the body they offer bronzing, back detoxes, exfoliations, massages and masks for detoxifying, refreshing, moisturising and circulation. For the face you're able to select from facials that target age, detoxification, regeneration, plumping, anti-fatigue, brightening, strengthening and lifting.

If you're a busy woman always on-the-go then you will be happy to find their express essentials range which includes waxing, lashes and brows so you can quickly be hair free or tint, shape and perm all within minutes.

Ella Bache wraps up Christmas with their beautifully boxed skin solutions where you save up to 45%. This once-a-year opportunity includes three different variations; anti-ageing, age correction and hydrating. With these three options, there's something to suit whoever you're buying for.

If someone in your life needs some profound pampering then the Indulgence Packages are the way to go for a seriously special and unforgettable treat.  The pampers range between 2 hours and 4 hours 30 minutes depending on your budget and how large of a gift you would like to give.

I think that the best part of Ella Bache is that you can personalise the treatment to you or who you're gifting it to. You can order an exfoliation for the body and a strengthening mask for the face then take home a great quality moisturiser for your face. They're here for whatever you need them to be so you can have all of your needs met.

After reading all of this you're probably about ready to hop in the car and head down to this luxury treatment precinct. With all that this centre has to offer why not combine deals and mix and match depending who you're buying for? I know my mum would love the combination of a wash and blow dry at The Blow Dry Bar to then head over to Ella Bache for facial and lastly to Deluxe for a manicure. Or you can just treat yourself if your re-growth is getting a bit too noticeable and your pedicure is chipped, the holiday season is the perfect time for a bit of pampering.

Emporium is located at 1000 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley Brisbane 4006. The perfect spot to spend a day off work, weekend or if you're here in Brisbane on holiday. Check out the Emporium website here.
