About Studio Chique Salon

Studio Chique is a female-only beauty salon run by Karen, built around the goal of providing a great client experience from the moment you walk in. The space is designed to be warm and serene, somewhere clients can kick back and relax while receiving a caring, tailored touch.

Karen describes listening to clients' needs as the most important part of her work, taking seriously the trust placed in her for facial and body treatments. Every service is approached with focused, personal care rather than a one-size-fits-all routine, whether that's a fully customised facial, a wax, a brow and lash treatment, a pedicure, or a relaxation massage.

The salon's range spans facials (including a signature, fully-customisable option), waxing, brow and lash services, pedicures, and ladies-only relaxation massages, with add-ons available to extend or boost most treatments. Bookings are managed online, and gift vouchers are available for those wanting to treat someone else to a visit.

Studio Chique: A Female-Only Salon Built Around Personal Care

Studio Chique is a female-only salon where owner and therapist Karen has built her business around a simple idea: every client deserves focused, personal care, not a rushed, one-size-fits-all treatment. From the moment you step into the warm, serene space, the goal is for you to be able to kick back and relax while your treatment is tailored specifically to you.

Listening First

Karen describes listening to her clients' needs as the most important part of her work. She takes the trust placed in her for facial and body treatments seriously, treating every booking as a responsibility to meet a client's beauty goals while also helping them leave stress at the door. That philosophy runs through the salon's entire menu, from its signature facial through to its waxing, brow, lash, foot and massage treatments.

A Facial Menu Built Around Customisation

At the centre of the salon's offering is the "Give My Skin All It Needs" Facial, a fully-customised, no-compromise treatment. Rather than offering a fixed set of steps, Karen performs a skin analysis and hand-selects from a range of modalities, including professional dermaplaning or a targeted peel, iontophoresis infusion for deep hydration, microneedling to boost collagen, LED sonic massage, and a specialised mask with a lifting facial massage.

For those after a more classic pampering session, the Signature Spa Facial (available in 50 and 70 minute options) is a comprehensive, balancing facial suited to all skin types, including a double cleanse, exfoliation, ozone treatment, facial massage and treatment mask, with an optional eye treatment add-on. Other facials on the menu target specific concerns: a Winter Recovery hydrating treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, a Rederm anti-ageing peel for mature or dehydrated skin, a Deep Cleanse facial to reduce pore size, a Dermaplaning facial (best repeated roughly every 4 weeks) to remove dead skin and fine facial hair, and a Microneedling facial for collagen induction and overall skin rejuvenation.

Waxing, Brows and Lashes

Beyond facials, Studio Chique offers a full waxing menu, from quick chin and lip waxes through to full leg and bikini waxing, plus combination treatments that pair waxing with brow and lash tinting. The eyes get their own dedicated menu too, covering lash and brow tinting, brow shaping, brow lamination for a brushed-up, defined look, and lash lifts, along with combination packages like the Eye Trio and Hybrid Brows treatments.

Feet and Relaxation

For feet, the salon offers gel toe treatments and a Deluxe Spa Pedicure, complete with an aromatic foot bath, cuticle care, exfoliation, foot massage and a choice of gel polish, plus add-ons like French tips or toe waxing. For pure relaxation, Studio Chique also offers a ladies-only warming neck, back and shoulder massage, using a heated treatment bed and warm compresses, available in 30 or 45 minute sessions.

Making It Your Own

Most treatments at Studio Chique can be extended with add-ons, whether that's extractions during a facial or a choice of Hydra Jelly masks, including an anti-ageing Vitamin C infused option or a purifying activated charcoal option, layered on top of a facial for an extra boost.

Booking a Visit

Appointments at Studio Chique are managed through online booking, and gift vouchers are available for anyone wanting to give the salon experience to someone else. Whatever brings you in, whether it's a full facial reset, a quick brow tidy-up, or a relaxing massage, the approach stays the same: focused care, tailored to you.
