We all need a little bit of TLC from time to time.
Whether you're wrecked from bringing the kids to 47 different summer camps or had a stressful week in work, it's important to take some time out to relax and de-stress.
Luckily for us, there are plenty of pamper places dotted around Dublin. Here are our top picks:
Buff Day Spa
This gem of a spot in the city centre is perfect if you want to schedule in a bit of me-time during your lunch break. Choose from a range of treatments including facials, hot stone massages and full body scrubs. And if it's good enough for Michelle Visage...

Marie Louise Tea Rooms
Taking in the fresh sea air at Howth will take years off you but after a walk along the cliffs, it's definitely worth paying a visit to Marie Louise Tea Rooms in the heart of the village. The afternoon tea includes homemade scones and delicate finger sandwiches, all served on lace tablecloths and cute china cups. Adorable.

Dry & Fly Blow Dry Bar
You don't need to book a full day off just to pamper yourself. Sometimes taking just a half hour to treat yourself to a glamorous curly blow dry is all you need. Dry & Fly on Wicklow Street and Merrion Row is renowned for their beautiful, bouncy styles and making you feel a million dollars.
Tropical Popical
Tropical Popical needs no introduction. The nail technicians are super-friendly, the salon is bright and colourful and the nails they create are nothing short of works of art. If you want nails that'll turn heads, this is the place to go.

Chocolate Massage in Oasis Beauty, Smithfield
Being covered in chocolate almost sounds too good to be true. However, the chocolate treatment in Oasis Beauty in Smithfield makes those dreams a reality with a full chocolate body scrub, a chocolate body masque, a chocolate balm and even a square of chocolate for you to enjoy too.

The Hollywood Treatment at The Shelbourne
Feel like a Hollywood superstar from the comfort of the city centre. The Salon at The Shebourne offer a luxurious experience where you choose an icon - Grace Kelly, Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn or Brigitte Bardot - and get a manicure, hairdo and drink to match.
