Melbourne Cup is on Tuesday, the 6th of November 2018.

It is the race that stops a nation. Well, maybe it used to when it was run at around 2.45pm (back in the day), but a 3pm race time means school pick-up time for many and an interruption to those champagne focused festivities.

That said, just being a part of the Melbourne Cup hype is fun, and a great excuse to get together with a group of friends for lunch, gossip, and to show off your new fascinator.

Big Screen at Lane Cove Plaza

You can view the race that stops a nation on the big screen in Lane Cove Plaza. All the action from 2pm.

A tan is a must for Melbourne Cup so head on over to The Beautician in Lane Cove for a spray tan.

To deliver a perfect flawless tan for a summer glow, The Beautician only uses the best – St Tropez tanning mist. We offer 3 St Tropez solutions for you to choose from, depending on the colour you’re trying to achieve – Classic Bronzing Mist,  Express Bronzing Mist and Dark Bronzing Mist. The signature Aromaguard fragrance will also give you the tanned look without the tell-tale spray tanned smell. Our spray tans are applied in a special pro-tanning booth by our professional trained staff, to ensure you have a natural golden tan.

Classic Bronzing Mist  – whatever your skin type this is the most natural looking, ultimate tan.
Express Bronzing Mist – is St. Tropez’s most revolutionary tan yet. It lets you select how dark you want to go by choosing when you shower. The formulation contains fast-acting ingredients that absorb quickly into the skin allowing you to select your depth of colour; For a light, sunkissed glow – shower after 1 hour. For a golden-bronze tan – leave on for 2 hours. For a deeper, darker result – wait 3 hours or more.  After showering your skin is left smooth and silky.
Dark Bronzing Mist – For a spray tan which gives the wow factor leaving you with a deep bronzed look.
Spray tan $45.00
Spray Tan x 3 (prepaid)  $105.00
St Tropez Body Exfoliation – 30 mins $55.00
