Flaunt Beauty is a beauty salon on Eastwood Rise in Waimairi Beach, a coastal suburb on Christchurch's eastern shore, and it holds a five-star rating on Google. For anyone new to salons, it helps to know that good ones treat the first visit as a consultation as much as an appointment — expect questions about your skin, any sensitivities and what you actually want, rather than a menu read aloud. Treatments such as lash and brow tinting, waxing and facials all carry their own aftercare, and a reputable salon will patch test before a first tint and talk you through what to avoid afterwards. Small suburban salons are often run by appointment, so regulars book ahead and rebook before they leave rather than hoping for a walk-in slot. For Waimairi Beach locals, having Flaunt Beauty on the doorstep means keeping up with treatments doesn't mean a trip across town.
