Dana Keates Beauty & Cosmetic Tattoo is a beauty salon on Parkhurst Rd in Parakai, Rodney, offering powder brow cosmetic tattooing, facials and microneedling, with a perfect 5.0 Google rating — clients call Dana welcoming, professional and talented, and praise the head massage. Appointments are booked online. Cosmetic tattooing has moved with the times: techniques like powder brows are semi-permanent by design, fading gently over a couple of years so the shape can be refreshed, though that means committing to a touch-up and proper aftercare while the skin heals. The technician matters more than the price — a good one takes time over brow mapping and colour, and keeps a scrupulously clean set-up. Skin treatments reward the same patience: microneedling and corrective facials work best as a course, after a proper assessment of your skin. For brows, skin or a quiet hour to yourself, it's a handy local option for Parakai and nearby Helensville.
