My Skin & Beauty is a beauty salon on Thames Street in Oamaru, owned and operated by Chloe Ryder, a NZ Registered Beauty Therapist. The salon offers a full range of treatments — waxing, tinting, manicures, pedicures, facials, tanning, skin DNA testing, electrolysis and massage — along with makeup services and spa packages that combine treatments into one relaxing visit.
Chloe completed her internationally recognised Advanced Diploma in Beauty Therapy (Level 5) in 2011 and brings 13+ years of experience as a senior therapist, backed by the City and Guilds Advanced Diploma in Beauty Therapy, Distinction at Levels 4 and 5, and recognition as Top Beauty Student at Aoraki Polytechnic. She keeps her skills current with regular postgraduate training in the latest technologies and beauty trends. Her aim is service that exceeds expectation and results that deliver, all in a relaxing environment.
The salon also stocks a carefully chosen retail range, including O Cosmedics and INSKIN.CO cosmedical skincare, clean Jane Iredale makeup, KIKI Health superfood supplements, GINGER&ME body care crafted with Australian native botanicals, and SELF by O Cosmedics self-tanning essentials. Gift vouchers and a loyalty card — 15% off a treatment of your choice on your sixth visit — make it easy to keep coming back or to treat someone else.
My Skin & Beauty is a beauty salon on Thames Street in Oamaru, and at its heart is owner Chloe Ryder — a NZ Registered Beauty Therapist with more than 13 years in the industry. The salon covers the full spectrum of everyday beauty care: waxing, tinting, manicures, pedicures, facials, tanning, massage, electrolysis and makeup, along with spa packages that bundle treatments together. For those who want to go deeper, Chloe also offers skin DNA testing, using scientific insight to shape a skincare approach that genuinely fits your skin.
Chloe completed her internationally recognised Advanced Diploma in Beauty Therapy (Level 5) in 2011 and has worked as a senior therapist ever since. Her credentials include the City and Guilds Advanced Diploma in Beauty Therapy, Distinction at both Level 4 and Level 5, and recognition as Top Beauty Student at Aoraki Polytechnic. She keeps those skills current with regular postgraduate training in the latest technologies and beauty trends.
That experience shapes her stated mission: to welcome every client with service that exceeds expectation and to deliver results, all in a relaxing environment — so you walk out 'the best version of yourself with a smile on your face.'
The treatment menu is organised into easy-to-navigate categories. Beauty Essentials covers waxing and tinting for smooth skin and defined brows. Face treatments focus on results-driven facials, supported by skin DNA testing for a personalised approach. Hands & Feet takes care of manicures and pedicures, while the massage menu offers time to unwind. Make Up services use clean, skin-loving products, and Spa Packages let you combine treatments into a single indulgent visit. Electrolysis rounds out the hair-removal options for anyone wanting a more precise, targeted treatment.
One thing that sets My Skin & Beauty apart is the calibre of the products it stocks and uses. The salon carries O Cosmedics, a cosmedical skincare range developed with leading scientists and cosmetic chemists, where every ingredient is chosen as the most 'intelligent' option in its category. Alongside it sits INSKIN.CO, a targeted cosmedical line built on clinical botanical actives in functional doses — simple, but not basic.
Makeup lovers are catered for with Jane Iredale, a clean beauty brand whose formulas are free from fragrances, preservatives and fillers, combining skincare science with long-wear performance. Wellness is covered by KIKI Health, whose raw, plant-based, gluten-free and vegan superfood supplements nourish from the inside, and GINGER&ME, whose body collection blends Australian native botanicals like Lime Pearls, Kakadu Plum Oil and Banksia Oil. For a sun-kissed glow without the sun, SELF by O Cosmedics offers hydrating, streak-free self-tanning essentials.
My Skin & Beauty is open Tuesday 9am–5pm, Wednesday 9am–6pm, Thursday 9am–7:30pm and Friday 9am–5:30pm, with Saturday visits available by appointment; the salon is closed on Mondays. Bookings can be made online through the website, which also handles rescheduling and cancellations outside business hours.
A few practical notes worth knowing. The salon runs a loyalty card: each appointment earns a stamp, and your sixth visit earns 15% off any treatment of your choice (the card must be presented at each appointment, and the discount excludes vouchers and products). If you need to cancel or reschedule, the salon asks for 12 hours' notice — a 50% cancellation fee may apply otherwise, and no-shows may be charged in full. Gift vouchers are available, making an easy present for anyone in Oamaru who deserves a bit of pampering.
Whether you're after a quick brow tidy, a results-driven facial or a full spa package, My Skin & Beauty pairs professional expertise with a genuinely relaxing setting on Thames Street. Call (03) 434 7900 or email info@myskinandbeauty.co.nz to book.
