Inc Beauty & Co. is a beauty salon on Kent Street in Ngāruawāhia, the small Waikato river town a short drive north-west of Hamilton.
A good beauty salon does more than the treatment you came in for: a skilled therapist asks about your skin, sensitivities and home routine before starting, patch-tests anything involving tint or wax, and sends you off with honest aftercare advice. In a town this size, salons tend to run on repeat visits and word of mouth, so it pays to book ahead for weekends and to stay with one therapist who knows your history, since most treatments give their best results as a series rather than a one-off. It is always worth asking what products are being used and why; a clear answer usually means you are in the right hands.
Inc Beauty & Co. sits on Kent Street, a handy option for locals who would rather not make the trip into Hamilton for salon care.
