Does any one know of a good property webiste to search for Villas to rent in Dubai (long term rental)? I have been on Better Homes, but can not seem to find any other good agents, they all seem to offer long term rentals but have nothing available!!!

I suggest you contact Lianne at Parkvale & have a chat with her about what you want. Very nice English lady.

yep, there are millions of places that do it...specialist nail bars or beauty lounges. Guess prices will vary - i don't have these done - but in Sisters Beauty Salon for example, refill is 215 dhs and full set 350 dhs...

At this point my knowledge drops off the map, I'm afraid....

Perhaps it depends where you go?? I pay three times as much for a haircut & facial in Bur Juman as I do at my local AD barber....

I think mani/pedi are cheaper yes due to labour, however acrylic nails are cheap in UK and US as there are lots of Chinese nail artists who have opened nail shops here.. and its about AED110 for acrylic refills.
