Graceful Beauty is a home-based studio at 3 Kerlin Crescent in West Harbour, Auckland, where every treatment is tailored to the client. The menu runs from bespoke facials and advanced skin treatments, including advanced enzyme therapy, to lash lifts, brow artistry, massage, waxing and basic grooming. The therapist, Bernadette Immink, describes more than 25 years in beauty, with time in clinics, spas and boutique salons before this studio. Gift vouchers must be used within six months.
The studio is open Monday to Wednesday from 9.30am to 5.30pm, and on Thursday until 7.30pm. Bookings are made through the website. Clients are asked to arrive five minutes before their appointment, because a late arrival cuts the treatment time but is still charged at the full rate. Changes or cancellations need at least 12 hours' notice, and a shorter notice can carry a 50% cancellation fee. Working from a home studio in West Harbour means each appointment has its own time, rather than a busy salon floor.
