Beautiful You has been a fixture in Halswell since 1995, serving the local community and surrounding Christchurch suburbs for three decades. The salon is located at Shop 9 in the Lillian Street shops — a convenient local destination that has built its reputation on personal, friendly service and a genuinely relaxing environment.
The business is now owned and led by Grace, a passionate nail artist who brought her own salon experience of more than five years to the role when she took over Beautiful You. Grace's focus is on providing an enjoyable experience for every client, underpinned by a commitment to using only the best nail and beauty therapy products. The team describes their pricing as very competitive, while positioning their standard of service as second to none.
The salon's core speciality is nails in all forms — finger nails, nail extensions, and spa pedicures — alongside a broader range of other beauty treatments available on-site through Haley Black Beauty. Afterpay is accepted for all nail services, and gift vouchers are available for purchase at the salon or by phone, either for specific services or as a dollar value.
There's something to be said for a business that has been running for thirty years in the same suburb. Beautiful You opened in Halswell in 1995 and has been a local institution ever since, quietly building its reputation for quality nail and beauty services in the Lillian Street shops. For many Halswell residents, it's simply where you go for your nails.
The salon is now owned by Grace, a passionate nail artist who brought her own salon experience — more than five years running her own business — to Beautiful You when she took over. That background shows in how the salon operates: a focus on personal, friendly service in a genuinely relaxing environment, underpinned by a commitment to using the best products available.
Nails are the heart of what Beautiful You does. The service range covers everything from standard manicures and nail art through to repairs and full nail extensions — all the way to spa pedicures for toenails. Whether you want a quick tidy-up or a full set of extensions, the salon covers the full spectrum.
Beyond nails, the Lillian Street shopfront hosts Haley Black Beauty, who operates her own range of treatments from the same location. That means clients can also access waxing, electrolysis, eye enhancement, dermal needling, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, chemical peels, relaxation facials, and massage — all under one roof, with Haley's bookings handled separately through haleyblackbeauty.com.
Packages are also available, combining services for better value, and can be browsed on the Beautiful You website.
Beautiful You is open Tuesday through Sunday — weekdays from 9am to 6pm, and weekends from 9am to 5pm. The salon is closed on Mondays. Bookings can be made online through the website's Timely booking system, or by calling 03 322 7769. There's a 24-hour answering machine, so you can leave a message outside of business hours.
Afterpay is accepted for all nail services — a handy option if you'd rather spread the cost. Gift vouchers are available too, either for a specific service or as a dollar value, and can be purchased in-salon or ordered by phone.
The salon asks for a minimum of four hours' notice for any cancellation or reschedule. Cancellations with less notice attract a 50% fee of the total treatment value; no-shows are charged the full fee.
