About Melanie Gaynor - Holistic Facialist

A facial studio in Greenlane, at 1A Kawau Road, where the facials are built around therapeutic facial massage rather than product. The website describes a natural approach with no needles and no acids. The studio offers a classic facial for softening and hydration, a sculpting and lifting facial, and a Triple Radiance treatment that combines microcurrent, LED light and facelift massage. The therapeutic facial massage is aimed at deep relaxation, tension relief, headaches, jaw pain and stress held in the face. New clients start with a first visit that includes a conversation, a skin assessment and an introductory treatment. The studio says it is a minimal-waste space that uses New Zealand-made eco cleaning products.

Customers say the facialist is warm, kind and expert, and that the care is personal. One says the massage was the highlight, and that her face felt amazing afterwards. A mother and daughter say they are loyal clients who trust both the facials and the products. Another says every visit seems better than the last. Our pick in Greenlane for a facial that is more about massage than product.
