Beautea is a by-appointment skin and beauty clinic on Devon Street East in Fitzroy, New Plymouth, working to the tagline 'Qualified, Researched, Perfected.' The team's intention is to transform skin holistically, so clients see true, lasting results — skincare is treated as only one part of the story. Therapists pair facials with dermo-nutrition knowledge, bespoke skincare prescriptions and naturopathic skin consultations, guiding clients through simple changes that benefit both outer beauty and inner wellbeing.
The clinic is a conscious part of The Slow Beauty Movement, with extensive training in achieving long-lasting results for concerns from acne and eczema to ageing. All skincare used is highly active and never tested on animals. Director Shona, a qualified massage therapist and Janesce facialist, healed her own eczema and dermatitis through Janesce's internal skin program, while Senior Therapist Lydia brings more than 17 years of industry experience and a love of anti-ageing treatments and hot stone massage.
Beyond facials, the treatment menu covers professional hot and strip waxing, brow shaping and tinting, lash lifts with keratin, massage, hot stone therapy, a 2-hour rapid spray tan, and gel-polish manicures and pedicures. Gift cards and skincare brands are available to buy online.
Tucked along Devon Street East in the Fitzroy neighbourhood of New Plymouth, Beautea is a skin and beauty clinic whose tagline says it plainly: qualified, researched, perfected. It runs as an exclusively by-appointment clinic from Tuesday to Saturday, and everything about it is built around one belief — that true, lasting change in your skin comes from looking after the whole person, not just the surface.
Beautea is a deliberate part of The Slow Beauty Movement, a holistic approach its team believes is the only way to get real change with the skin. Skincare, they say, is only one part of the story. Their experienced skin therapists bring extensive knowledge of dermo-nutrition — caring for your complexion from within — alongside facials, bespoke skincare prescriptions and naturopathic skin consultations. The products used are highly active and never tested on animals, chosen to work with you towards fresh, glowing skin and better overall wellbeing.
That philosophy matters most when skin is struggling. The therapists have extensive training in achieving long-lasting results for concerns ranging from acne and eczema to ageing, and the clinic's aim is to teach and guide you with simple changes that benefit both outer beauty and inner wellness.
Director Shona is a qualified massage therapist and Janesce facialist with a passion for holistic practices and extensive management experience. Her own story anchors the clinic's approach: she healed her eczema and dermatitis by following Janesce's internal skin program, and she is an advocate for healing skin from within. Clients know her for healing hands and an intuitive touch that releases tension and delivers pure relaxation.
Senior Therapist Lydia brings more than 17 years of industry experience and a deep passion for beauty and body services. She is known for hot stone massage, has a great love of anti-ageing skin treatments and holistic wellbeing, and shares a wealth of knowledge to make every treatment memorable — an experience, as the team puts it, that is far from skin deep.
Waxing is a cornerstone. Beautea uses high quality professional wax for both hot and strip waxing, searches the area afterwards and tweezes any strays, and follows very high hygiene practice. The list runs from eyebrow shaping, lip and chin to bikini, extended bikini and Brazilian (with separate first-time and maintenance options), half and full legs, arms and underarms — plus men's brow tidy, chest, stomach and back waxing.
Eyes get special attention too. Alongside brow shaping and tinting, the menu builds from a simple lash tint to the Eye Trio — brow shape, tint and lash tint — and on to lash lifts with an optional keratin treatment for nourished, lifted lashes.
Massage comes in 30, 45, 60 and 90-minute sessions, and the hot stone option uses smooth, water-heated basalt stones placed at key points on the body to melt away tension, ease muscle stiffness and increase circulation and metabolism. Spray tans use a 2-hour rapid formula — shower two hours after spraying and the tan keeps developing into a lovely natural colour — with full body, weekly full body and half body options. Hands and feet are covered by nail and toe tidies, the Beautea Manicure and Beautea Pedicure finished with gel polish, mini pedicures, and gel polish removal.
Beautea sits at 575B Devon Street East in Fitzroy, opening Tuesday 9am–2pm, Wednesday and Thursday 9am–7pm, Friday 9am–6pm and Saturday 9am–3pm. Because it is appointment-only, booking online ahead of time is the way to secure a spot, with the midweek evenings the best bet for after-work appointments. You can also shop the skincare brands online or pick up a gift card — a low-effort way to give someone an hour of slow beauty.
Whether you are chasing a fix for stubborn skin, perfectly maintained brows or ninety minutes under warm basalt stones, Beautea's quiet promise is the same: researched, holistic care from qualified therapists who treat beauty as something that starts well beneath the surface.
