Skin N Tonic is a beauty and massage salon at 566 Blockhouse Bay Road in the Blockhouse Bay shops, West Auckland. It is run by beauty therapist Nilam Pala, who has more than two decades' experience and trained at The Beauty Therapy College of New Zealand. Its two treatment rooms are named Serenity and Tranquillity. The salon offers massage, facials including micronised algae and anti-ageing treatments, eyebrow shaping and tinting, eyelash tinting, manicures and pedicures, and waxing. The website says Nilam was once awarded Body Therapist of the Year.
Clients praise Nilam as friendly and making them feel at ease. One says her facial and massage were wonderful, and another says her first Brazilian wax was less painful than expected. A third says Nilam kept the wax as painless as possible for a nervous first-timer.
