About Bespoke Beauty

The menu covers professional waxing in a comfortable, private setting; nourishing facials tailored to concerns like acne, dehydration, pigmentation and anti-ageing; dermaplaning; IPL treatments for hair reduction and skin rejuvenation; threading for precise brow and facial hair shaping; and brow and lash services including tinting and lash lift. Gel nails are on offer too, with one client describing a relaxing foot bath and massage beforehand.

Every treatment is thoughtfully tailored to your skin, your comfort and your goals — at Bespoke Beauty you're never just another appointment. Visits are by appointment only, with the address provided upon booking; the studio is open Thursdays 9:30am–7pm and Fridays 9:30am–2:30pm.

Bespoke Beauty Whanganui: Bespoke Facials, IPL and Waxing in Westmere

Tucked away in Whanganui's Westmere, Bespoke Beauty is a small beauty studio with a big promise: where beauty is truly bespoke. Run by beauty therapist Mikaela, it's a self-described one-stop beauty shop where advanced skin techniques meet genuine care — a calm, comfortable space created so clients can unwind and leave feeling confident in their skin.

What sets the studio apart is its deliberately personal approach. You're never just another appointment here. Every treatment is thoughtfully tailored to your skin, your comfort and your goals, whether you're popping in for quick maintenance or carving out time for proper self-care. The mood is warm rather than clinical, and results-driven rather than fluffy.

Results-driven facials and advanced skin technology

Facials are the heart of the treatment menu. The signature Bespoke Facial is a nourishing treatment tailored to whatever your skin is dealing with — acne, dehydration, pigmentation or anti-ageing. Around it sit more advanced options: dermaplaning for deeply exfoliated, soft and radiant skin; a Dermaplaning Glow Facial that combines the two; a Skin Tightening Facial; and microdermabrasion to polish and refresh.

Bespoke Beauty also works with IPL (intense pulsed light) technology for skin rejuvenation. IPL photo rejuvenation facials lift overall skin quality, while targeted IPL treatments address pigmentation — across the full face or on individual spots — and vascular concerns such as facial redness. The same technology underpins the IPL hair removal menu, which scales from small areas like the upper lip, chin and tummy line to underarms, arms, bikini line, Brazilian and full legs.

Waxing, brows, lashes and a little pampering

Professional waxing is a cornerstone of the studio, delivered in a comfortable, private setting with smooth, long-lasting results. Facial waxing covers the brow, lip, chin, sides of face and full face, while body waxing takes care of legs, arms, underarms and bikini line. First-time Brazilian clients get their own dedicated appointment, with a maintenance option for regulars, and threading is available for precise brow and facial hair shaping with beautifully defined results.

Brows and lashes have their own list too: brow shaping, lash and brow tinting, a combined tint and shape, the Eye Trio bundle, and the ever-popular lash lift and tint. Henna brows feature in the studio's gallery for anyone after longer-lasting brow colour. And when a bit of head-to-toe pampering is in order, clients book in for gel nails — one happy reviewer describes a foot bath and massage before her gels, and notes there's a chocolate jar on hand.

Booking your visit

Bespoke Beauty operates by appointment, with a nice touch of privacy built in: the studio's address is provided once you book. Appointments can be made online through the booking link on the website, or by phone on 027 778 4131 or email at mikaela@bespokebeautywhanganui.co.nz. Opening hours are Thursdays from 9:30am to 7pm — a boon for after-work appointments — and Fridays from 9:30am to 2:30pm.

Reviews capture the feel of the place better than any brochure could. “Mikaela is such a sweetheart and makes you feel right at home,” one client writes, describing the studio as “beautiful, warm and welcoming, clean and modern.” It's the kind of feedback that explains why locals keep returning — for IPL courses, regular waxing, brow appointments or simply an hour to relax and feel looked after.

For Whanganui locals after results-driven skin treatments delivered with a gentle personal touch, Bespoke Beauty makes a strong case: relax, refresh, radiate confidence.
