Touch & Glow is a beauty salon in Halswell, Christchurch, offering the full spectrum of everyday and pamper-day care under one roof. The team's starting point is that healthy, beautiful hair begins at the scalp: stylists work with La Biosthétique's science-led hair care system to treat, restore and style hair with precision. Around that sits a broad service menu — rejuvenating facials, relaxing massages, waxing, tinting and advanced skin therapies — combining luxury spa treatments with essential everyday beauty care, all tailored to each client.
Cosmetic tattooing is the salon's specialty. Touch & Glow offers professional Lip & Brow Tattoo services in a clean, safe and friendly environment, with trained artists who explain each step before the procedure and follow sterilization best practices. Ombre (powder) brows, lip neutralization and lip blush are all on the menu, and a gallery of before-and-after results on the website shows what to expect.
Appointments run Tuesday to Saturday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, with a shorter session on Sunday mornings and Mondays closed. Booking is available online, where you can select your service, preferred date and time, and leave notes for the team.
Tucked into Halswell in Christchurch's south-west, Touch & Glow is the kind of salon that covers the whole self-care list under one roof — a quick lip wax between errands, a deep-cleansing facial after a rough week, or an afternoon devoted to brows, massage and a fresh cut. Whatever brings you in, the team starts from a simple idea: healthy, beautiful hair begins at the scalp. Their stylists use La Biosthétique's science-led hair care system to treat, restore and style hair with precision and care.
That blend of science-led treatment and everyday friendliness runs through the rest of the menu too. Touch & Glow describes its offering as luxury spa treatments combined with essential everyday beauty care, tailored to each client — so one visit might be a targeted acne facial and the next a full-leg wax with an eyebrow shape.
What Touch & Glow is best known for is professional Lip & Brow Tattoo work. The team treats it as a craft that deserves a careful process: artists are trained and experienced in cosmetic tattooing, every step is explained before the procedure begins, sterilization best practices are followed, and the environment is kept clean, safe and friendly. Aftercare guidance comes as standard.
Three tattoo services anchor the menu. Ombre Brows — also called powder tattoo — create soft, shaded brows with a natural powder finish. Lip Neutralization corrects darker tones for a more even lip base, while Lip Blush adds a soft wash of natural colour for fuller-looking lips. If you want a preview before committing, the salon's website gallery displays before-and-after photos of previous results.
The facial menu is one of the deepest parts of the services list. There is a 30-minute Classic Facial for a quick refresh, a Deep Cleansing Facial for clogged pores and excess oil, a Brightening Facial for uneven skin tone, and an Anti-Aging Facial aimed at visible fine lines. An Acne Treatment Facial targets breakouts and calms inflammation, and the Shahnaz Husian Facial brings herbal, Ayurvedic-based rejuvenation into the mix. The Signature Facial — the salon's best seller — is a customized premium treatment for maximum glow, and the 30-minute Hydra Facial pairs deep hydration with exfoliation for dewy, plump skin.
Waxing covers essentially head to toe: eyelash tinting for a mascara-free lift, lip and chin waxing or threading, full-face waxing, underarms, half or full arms, half or full legs, bikini line, Brazilian maintenance and back waxing. Waxing combos bundle several areas into a single appointment — full legs, arms and underarm with eyebrows, or an all-inclusive premium package with Brazilian wax — and one pairing teams a full face wax with a soothing mask.
Body care leans restful. A full body scrub or back scrub handles exfoliation, a full body massage relieves stress and tension, and there are dedicated head, neck and shoulder massages plus a nourishing hair oil massage. Add-ons let you round out any booking with an eye mask, scalp massage, paraffin hand treatment, collagen scrub or lip mask, or an herbal foot scrub. On the hair and makeup side, services include cuts, restyle cuts, keratin smoothing treatments and event makeup.
Touch & Glow opens Tuesday to Saturday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, runs a shorter session on Sunday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, and closes on Mondays. Booking is straightforward: the website's form takes your name, contact details, service, preferred date and time, and optional notes, and the team can also be reached by phone or email.
However you fill your appointment — ombre brows, a signature facial, or simply a tidy-up before the weekend — the approach stays consistent: clear explanations before anything begins, careful hygiene, and treatments tailored to what you actually need.
