Beau Monde Beauty Therapy is a boutique beauty salon on Hall Street in Pukekohe, where a small team of experienced therapists helps clients look and feel fabulous in the skin they're in. Owner Sarah Vining brings more than 15 years in the beauty industry, alongside therapist Melissa Williams with 14 — and together they've built a cosy salon with a simple promise: every client is put first, and you're more than a number.
The treatment menu is broad: customised facials built on Janesce botanical skincare (plus pH-formula resurfacing for concerns like premature ageing, acne and chronic redness), relaxation and Swedish massage, brow and lash services including lamination, henna brows and lash lifts, waxing, manicures, pedicures and vegan-friendly Naked Tan spray tans. Semi-permanent brow makeup is a house speciality — wake up with ready-to-go brows every day. For a full reset, pamper packs combine treatments, from the 90-minute Aromatherapy Facial to the top-to-toe Goddess Treatment.
The salon doubles as a shop for Janesce skincare best-sellers like the Rose Petal Mist and the Hydrate and Glow starter pack, and gift vouchers are valid for 12 months. Hours run Tuesday to Friday with a late night on Wednesday and every second Saturday morning.
Tucked onto Hall Street in Pukekohe, Beau Monde Beauty Therapy is the kind of salon people return to for years — not because of flashy fit-outs, but because the team genuinely puts clients first. The boutique studio was created as a space to melt away the hustle of everyday life, whether you've booked a long pampering session or a quick lunchtime maintenance visit.
The philosophy here is simple: everyone's skin is different, and every body is beautiful. Treatments are tailored to the individual, and the therapists pride themselves on building lasting relationships — as the team puts it, you're more than a number.
Beau Monde is owned by Sarah Vining, a beauty industry veteran of more than 15 years. A mum of two based in Te Kauwhata, Sarah is passionate about all things beauty — but her favourite part of the job is transforming brows from non-existent to perfection. Ask any regular and they'll tell you the reveal moment is what keeps them coming back.
Alongside her is Melissa Williams, a beauty therapist with 14 years in the industry who lives locally in Pukekohe. Melissa has built a reputation for amazing facials — the kind that leave clients feeling incredible. Between them, the pair bring close to three decades of hands-on experience to every appointment, delivered in a professional, clean boutique clinic with strict hygiene practices every day.
The facial menu runs from the 30-minute Express Facial — a favourite with teenagers and time-poor locals — to the signature Botanical Facial, a customised 60-minute treatment using Janesce botanicals that comes with a free eyebrow tidy. For congested skin there's a Deep Cleansing Facial, and for anyone chasing serious results, the clinic's pH-formula resurfacing line targets premature ageing, acne and chronic redness, whether as a course or a one-off glowing boost.
At the top end sits the Ultimate Indulgence Facial: 90 minutes that begin with a hot towel compress and foot massage, then move through double cleansing, exfoliation, steam, massage of the face, neck and shoulders, a mask and moisturise — finished with an eyelash tint and brow shape.
Massage options cover a 30-minute Relaxation Back Massage, a 60-minute Full Body Swedish Massage and the Scrub & Rub, which pairs exfoliation with a back, neck and shoulder massage. Pamper packs combine the best of both worlds: the Aromatherapy Facial, the two-hour Top to Toe, and the full Goddess Treatment — back massage, botanical facial, lash tint, brow shape and an express manicure or pedicure.
Brow lovers are well catered for. The menu covers shaping, tinting, brow lamination with tint included, and henna or hybrid brows — a pigment that lasts up to four weeks on the hair and stains the skin for up to two. Lash services include tinting and the popular Lash Lift & Tint.
For a longer-lasting fix, Beau Monde also offers cosmetic tattooing. Semi-permanent brow makeup can enhance, add symmetry and transform your brows — so you wake up every day with ready-to-go brows, no pencil required.
The salon stocks only the best products, from natural plant-based skincare to active dermatological lines, so you can keep your results going at home. The Janesce Hydrate and Glow Pack is the ideal starting point: refillable introductory sizes of the rose-infused ritual — soaking drops, cleanser, mist and moisturiser, plus a soaking cloth and glow guide — with enough product for two months of use. The Janesce Rose Petal Mist, blending rose floral waters with chamomile, lavender and marshmallow, is a best-selling stand-alone treat.
Spray tans use Naked Tan, the vegan-friendly solution designed to be washed off after two hours — and there's now a 20-minute quick tan too. Gift vouchers, like the Ultimate Indulgence Voucher, are valid for 12 months, and Laybuy is available if you'd like to spread the cost.
Beau Monde opens Tuesday from 9.30am to 5pm, stays late on Wednesday until 7pm, and runs 9am to 5pm on Thursday and Friday. Saturday trading is every second Saturday, 8.30am to 1pm, so it pays to book ahead for weekend slots. Appointments can be booked online — and if you're squeezing in a lunchtime maintenance session, the express treatments were made for you.
