Haven Beauty & Tanning is a boutique beauty studio on Faringdon Boulevard in Rolleston, Canterbury, built around a simple promise: helping you look and feel your best. Tanning and waxing are the heart of the business, with a treatment menu that also reaches into brow and lash artistry — and even permanent jewellery — all in a relaxed, appointment-based setting.
At the centre of the studio is beauty therapist Tia Weir, much loved by her clients and described as an absolute wiz at eyebrows and lashes, tanning and waxing. A talented and experienced therapist, she is joined by Zara Sandler, giving clients two practitioners to choose from when booking.
Detail is the salon's signature. Every brow treatment begins with mapping to find the shape that suits your features, lash lifts finish with a nourishing keratin step, and the spray tan menu offers colour-correcting green and violet bases alongside an argan-oil Moroccan blend — plus an unlimited three-month tanning package for regulars.
The studio is open Monday to Saturday, with late nights on Wednesday and Thursday, and takes bookings online through its Timely booking page. You can also follow Haven Beauty & Tanning on Facebook and Instagram.
On Faringdon Boulevard in Rolleston, Haven Beauty & Tanning is a small, boutique studio devoted to one simple idea: helping you look and feel your best. Tanning and waxing are the backbone of the business, but the treatment menu reaches further — into brow artistry, lash lifts and even permanent jewellery — all delivered in a relaxed, appointment-based setting where the focus stays entirely on you.
Much of the salon's reputation rests on beauty therapist Tia Weir. Much loved by her clients, Tia is described as an absolute wiz at eyebrows and lashes, tanning and waxing — a talented and experienced therapist whose regulars clearly keep coming back. She is joined by Zara Sandler, so there are two sets of hands to choose from when you book. Appointments are made online through the salon's booking page, where you can pick your therapist, your service and a time that suits.
Every brow treatment at Haven starts the same way: with mapping. Before any tint or wax touches your brows, the team maps out the shape to suit your unique features — a step that keeps results consistent and symmetrical, and helps new clients identify unevenness so you can decide together whether to regrow or remove particular hairs.
From there, options range from a quick eyebrow tint or lash tint to the Eye Trio — "the full deal", tinting both lashes and brows before a wax clears away unwanted, dark and fluffy hairs to bring your face back to life. For a bigger transformation, brow lamination creates the look of thick, fluffy brows and can be paired with a sculpt, tint and shape.
Lashes get their own spotlight. A lash lift is a natural, semi-permanent procedure that curls your lashes from the root for a lifted, lengthened look — no extensions and no leave-on chemicals. The three-step process finishes with a keratin solution that nourishes and hydrates the lashes. Pair it with an eyelash tint, or go all-in on the Lash Lift and Eye Trio Combo — "THE TREATMENT", according to the salon — which adds lash and brow tint plus a brow wax and shape to really frame your face.
Face waxing covers everything from a five-minute upper lip or chin to a full face — brows, lip, chin, jawline and sideburns — plus the neck. Body waxing spans half and full legs, full arms, underarms with hot wax, and bikini options up to Brazilians, which are thoughtfully split into a Newbie appointment for first-timers or anyone past six weeks, and a shorter Maintenance appointment if you're rebooking within four to six weeks. Men are well catered for too, with strip waxing available for the chest, back, stomach and full legs.
Spray tanning is where the boutique tag really shows. Rather than one shade for everyone, the menu offers colour-correcting bases: a green base that neutralises pink and red undertones for an olive-brown tan, and a violet base that corrects yellow and golden tones to eliminate orange and land on a rich brown. Both can show results in as little as two hours, or up to five for a deeper tan. The Moroccan option is enriched with argan oil to nourish even the driest skin with a super dark finish, while the Workout formula is made for active clients — perspiration passes through the tan instead of taking it off. If you're not sure what to book, there's an "Unsure what colour" option so you can decide in store. Regulars can pick up a three-month unlimited tanning package at over 30% off, with single or double coats and the full colour range included.
One of the salon's more unexpected offerings is permanent jewellery — a bracelet or anklet with no traditional clasp, fitted by soldering the ends together while you're wearing it for a seamless look. It's a special way to mark memories, occasions or the people in your life, and sessions can be booked for one, two or three people, making it a popular shared experience.
