Beauty & Elegance is a by-appointment-only beauty and skincare clinic in Harewood, Christchurch, run by qualified aesthetician Fiona Winter. The salon was created to give clients a relaxed, unhurried experience rather than the busy, high-volume atmosphere typical of many clinics, with appointments spaced apart so there is never any overlap between clients.
The clinic features two separate treatment rooms with full-sized heated beds and a private reception area, alongside spaces referred to as the Tranquillity Room and the "Groom Room." Fiona holds national and international qualifications in Applied Aesthetics, Facial Electrical Treatments, Dermal Needling, Laser and IPL, and continues to train in new techniques and products.
Treatments on offer span eye treatments, general and advanced facials, IPL hair removal, peels, electrolysis, waxing, dermal needling, electroporation and HIFU. The clinic also runs monthly specials, bookable directly through the salon rather than via the online booking system, such as discounted peel and microneedling treatments using Genosys Power Solution ampoules.
Tucked into Harewood in Christchurch, Beauty & Elegance was built on a simple idea: clients shouldn't feel like just another number on a busy clinic's schedule. Owner and aesthetician Fiona Winter set out to create a space where she could give each client her full, undivided attention in a relaxed environment — and the way the clinic runs its appointments reflects that intention directly, with bookings spaced apart so there's never any overlap between clients.
The salon is designed around comfort and privacy. A restful reception area leads into one of two separate treatment rooms, both featuring full-sized heated beds and soft, luxurious bedding. Areas within the clinic are named the Tranquillity Room and the "Groom Room," reinforcing the salon's focus on making each visit feel like more than a quick, transactional treatment.
Fiona has trained extensively in her field, holding both national and international qualifications in Applied Aesthetics, Facial Electrical Treatments, Dermal Needling, Laser and IPL. She describes continuing to educate herself at every opportunity so clients receive up-to-date treatments alongside medical-grade products. As a mature woman herself, Fiona notes she understands her clients' skin concerns because she has "lived" the same skin journey many of them are going through.
Beauty & Elegance's treatment menu spans eye treatments, general facials, and more advanced facial treatments, alongside IPL hair removal, chemical peels, electrolysis and waxing for hair removal, dermal needling, electroporation, and HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) for skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Each month, the clinic runs specific treatment specials that must be booked directly through the salon rather than through the online booking system to qualify. Recent examples include the Noon Delicate J Peel — a gentler version of the well-known Jessner Peel, designed to refresh and rejuvenate skin while encouraging cell renewal — discounted from $149 to $109, and microneedling using Genosys Sterilised Individual Glass Ampoule Power Solutions, discounted from $189 to $149. The Genosys system, developed in South Korea in 2010, offers six different Power Solutions targeting concerns from anti-aging and acne to whitening and hydration, including a Cytokine Concentrate Solution for elasticity and a Problem Control Serum for oil control and blemish prevention.
Beauty & Elegance operates strictly by appointment, with opening hours running Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to 8pm, Wednesday and Friday from 9am to 5pm, and Saturday from 10am to 3pm. The clinic is closed on Sundays and Mondays. First-time clients are offered a discount, and the clinic can be reached directly by phone or text for bookings, particularly for monthly specials.
For Christchurch clients looking for a calmer, more personal alternative to a high-volume beauty clinic, Beauty & Elegance offers a considered range of facial, skin and hair treatments backed by an experienced, highly qualified aesthetician.
