Nikau Cottage is a beauty salon at 8 Cherry Ave on Best Island, in the Tasman district, with a 5.0 Google rating.
A good beauty salon starts with a short conversation about your skin, your timing and anything that might affect a treatment, such as allergies, medication or recent sun exposure. Patch tests are standard before tints, and a careful therapist will explain aftercare so you know what to avoid for the next day or two. When choosing a salon, ask what training the therapists have, how products and tools are cleaned between clients, and what the cancellation policy is. Regulars tend to book regular appointments, such as brow or lash maintenance, a few weeks ahead, and arrive with a clean face and no makeup for facials.
Best Island is a small, quiet pocket of the Tasman region, so Nikau Cottage suits locals wanting treatments close to home.
