Tucked into Johnsonville Mall, right next to Countdown Supermarket, Beauty Spot International has been part of the Wellington beauty therapy scene for more than 15 years. The clinic describes its mission simply: deliver excellent service and professional guidance to help clients look their best, with the goal of becoming their long-term, go-to beauticians. Many of its clients have stayed loyal for the full 15 years the business has been open.
Beauty Spot offers what it calls a Full Beauty Therapy Service, covering nail sculptures and treatments, manicures, pedicures, eye treatments, Dermalogica treatment facials, body treatments, hot stone and relaxing massage, waxing for both men and women, spray tanning, and make up. The nail menu alone runs from quick express manicures and pedicures through to full Shellac services with cuticle care, while the facial menu includes microdermabrasion and customised treatments in both 30 and 60 minute options, plus peels and a face mapping consultation for those wanting tailored skincare advice.
The clinic is led by Renuka, a Certified Educator from Surmanti International, an Award Winner, Master Nail Technician, and NZQA-qualified beauty therapist with a nursing background. She's been in the beauty therapy industry for over 20 years, is a threading specialist, and a self-described Dermalogica skincare expert — and she makes sure the rest of the team stays current on the latest training and products.
Asika, a fully qualified nail technician and beautician with 15 years of industry experience, is known as the clinic's eyebrow specialist and is now also fully qualified in eyebrow microblading and feathering cosmetic tattoo. Separately, she holds qualifications in nutrition (BBiomedSc, PGDipSc, MSc in Human Nutrition) and offers nutrition consultations to loyal clients at a reasonable price. Rounding out the team is Jessica, a nail technician who covers the full range of nail treatments, including Shellac polish.
Beauty Spot backs every treatment with a satisfaction guarantee — if a client isn't fully happy, the clinic invites them to talk it through and will work to fix the issue. It also offers a 100% money-back guarantee for cases that can't otherwise be resolved, framing this as part of doing right by its customers.
Beyond client treatments, Beauty Spot International also runs nail technician training out of its Johnsonville clinic. An Introduction to Gel Polish Manicure course, priced at $299, covers gel polish application, troubleshooting, health, hygiene, sanitisation and disinfection, and comes with a certificate on completion, taught directly by Renuka. For those looking to go further, the clinic also offers the Surmanti Graduate Diploma Stage One Nail course, roughly 60 hours long and typically completed over 6 to 8 weeks part-time, with small class sizes of just 2 to 4 students and both evening and morning class options.
Beauty Spot Johnsonville is open six days a week: Monday to Friday from 4pm to 6:30pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm. The mall location comes with plenty of convenient free parking.
