With a finite number of birthdays on the calendar, we believe each and every one should be celebrated with the kind of enthusiasm that Tom and Donna have for Treat Yo' Self Day. There really aren't many other occasions where you can splash out so lavishly on yourself guilt-free. As an added bonus, having something luxurious booked in can help ease any birthday scaries at risk of creeping up. Not sure what to do with yourself this birthday? Read on for our edit of unique birthday ideas in Sydney to celebrate another year of you.  

Book a Colour Analysis at Studio Peona 

The viral Korean trend has touched down in Sydney via Studio Peona so if you're looking for a way to treat yourself this birthday, try this. Learn what colours suit you best, what investment pieces you should be buying, and what shades of hair, nails and makeup will have you popping. You'll leave with a PDF mood board, customised colour card and personal summary as well as confidence through the roof.

Get a New Piercing at Sarah & Sebastian's Luxe Studio

As anyone who has slipped into this Paddington boutique knows, the Sarah & Sebastian experience is as luxe as it gets. Sleek, minimalist display cases meet textured walls and mirrors. But it's underneath the store where the real magic happens. Book an ear alchemy appointment and you'll be treated to a 30-minute consultation to style your ear. You can then select your jewels and move through to the luxury piercing studio that doesn't feel clinical at all. A luxury experience from the get-go!
