Sculptured Cosmetics is a beauty and wellness boutique at 9 Wedgewood Row in Rolleston, just outside Christchurch. The website describes a quiet place at the end of a long driveway, with plenty of parking, and no back-to-back appointments, so the session is not rushed by the next client. The founder, Joanne, has worked as a hairdresser, make-up artist and beauty specialist, including with Estée Lauder and as New Zealand educator for Waterlily Botanical Spa Skincare. Treatments include luxurious spa facials, a Water Lily facial, dermaplaning, facial massage, designer brows, permanent eyebrow work, LED therapy, make-up and hair styling, and The Spinal Flow Technique.
Customers describe the facials as pampering, with hot towels and a head and shoulder massage. They say the treatment room is softly lit and calm, and that the welcome, with tea, is warm. Some clients book a facial every few months. One who had permanent eyebrows says Joanne made sure the colour and shape were right, and another has had brows and lashes done by her for years. Our pick in Rolleston for a slow, private facial.
