Zentuate Spa and Beauty is a boutique home studio on Short Street in Tauranga, built around slow, unhurried self-care. The space was created with clients in mind — from the smells to the colours — and the invitation is simple: come in and indulge your soul on a journey to the ultimate relaxation experience. Rather than a busy clinic floor, visitors step into an intimate, one-on-one setting where the same therapist who answers your enquiry performs your treatment.
The service menu spans laser hair removal, advanced skin treatments, facials, massage, female waxing, body spa packages, brows and lashes, and ongoing skin memberships. Spa rituals are layered head-to-toe experiences combining double cleanses, steamers, exfoliation, masks and massage of the face, neck, decolletage, hands, arms, scalp and even feet. For deeper results, the studio offers microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, microneedling, LED light therapy and the original Green Peel, alongside Eclipse Diode Laser hair removal courses.
Products range from medical grade to certified organic, and all are vegan and cruelty free. Behind Zentuate is a therapist with nearly eight years' industry experience and a personal history with acne, which became a deep understanding of how skin works — knowledge now shared generously with every client.
Zentuate Spa and Beauty sits quietly on Short Street in Tauranga, and that sense of quiet is the whole point. This is a home studio — a small, personal space created, in the owner's words, with clients in mind, from the smells to the colours. The invitation is simple: come in and indulge your soul on a beautiful journey to the ultimate relaxation experience.
Behind Zentuate is a therapist with nearly eight years in the beauty industry, with skills spanning advanced clinical treatments to spa rituals. Her passion is giving every client the pampering experience they deserve — massage and facials that drift you off to "that magical Zen place" — and helping women feel confident in their skin. That work is personal: she dealt with acne herself for many years, rode out every up and down, and turned it into a deep understanding of how skin works that she now shares with clients daily.
The spa menu is built around layered, head-to-toe packages. Zentuate Glow is the entry point: a double cleanse, steamer, exfoliation and a neck and decolletage massage, finished with moisturiser and SPF. Zentuate Pamper adds a mask, hand and arm massage, serum and a head massage. The Dream is the full works — enzyme peel, custom mask, hyaluronic acid serum, head and scalp massage, eye cream and a closing foot massage. Essential pairs the Glow facial with a back, neck and shoulder massage and a brow combo, while Bliss combines an eye trio, a back massage and the Pamper facial.
Products matter here. Facials draw on ranges from medical grade to certified organic, all vegan and cruelty free, designed to deliver results whatever the concern. Brows and lashes use high-end products formulated to be safe for lamination and tinting, and the waxes chosen are made for delicate areas — a small detail that matters to first-time waxing clients.
For deeper results, Zentuate offers microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, microneedling, LED light therapy and the original Green Peel from Dr Schrammek. These are bundled into three memberships — Glow, Radiate and Illuminate — each combining monthly facials with corrective treatments, free bonus sessions and discounts on add-ons and skin care. Every package begins with a full skin assessment, so the plan actually fits the skin in front of it.
The studio also performs laser hair removal using Eclipse Diode Laser technology. The laser delivers concentrated light energy into the follicle; the pigment absorbs it, converts it to heat and disrupts the follicle's ability to produce hair. Because hair grows in cycles, results are progressive — most clients need around 12 to 18 treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart, with hair becoming finer, lighter and less frequent along the way. A consultation and patch test come first, and clear before-and-aftercare is provided: shave rather than wax beforehand, protect treated skin from the sun, and expect any mild redness or warmth to settle within a day or two.
Because Zentuate is a home studio, appointments feel personal rather than production-line. You are not passed between staff; the same hands that answered your message perform your treatment. First-timers often start with a Glow or Pamper facial, then work with the therapist toward a longer-term skin plan — or simply keep returning for the massage-heavy packages that give the studio its name.
Booking is straightforward online, with laser packages handled through the same system. Whether you are chasing smoother skin, calmer acne, better brows or just an hour where nobody needs anything from you, this Short Street studio is where Tauranga locals go to find their Zen.
