Book an appointmentHow soon will you reply?
As VELVET is a private one-on-one studio, I aim to reply to all enquiries within one business day. Usually within a few hours, bookings depending.
For appointments, online booking is available 24/7.
I’m not sure which treatment to choose.
Not quite sure what to book? Please send me a message and I’ll help you find the treatment that’s right for you.
If you’re hoping to combine a few treatments but can’t find a suitable appointment time online, please get in touch. I’ll do my best to accommodate.
Will it look natural?
My approach is all about enhancing your natural features, with beautiful, refined results that still feel like you.
Every treatment is tailored to your individual features and preferences. Whether you love a soft finish or something a little more defined, we’ll talk through your desired look before getting started.
Lash lift or lash extensions?
A lash lift creates a more open eyed look and defines your natural lashes in an upward curl. Results last 6 to 10 weeks. You can add mascara or wear sans makeup. The perfect Summer holiday treatment.
Lash Extensions add length and fullness to your natural lashes with an extension that is applied to your natural lash, infilling 1 to 3 weeks, to maintain this look. The extension applied can be a single lash or handmade volume lash. Lash extensions replace mascara and add a little more density and volume, the most effective for those who want more oomph with their lashes.
How do I look after a lash lift or brow lamination?
Following your studio visit, treat the lash/brow hair with love. Regular brushing and application of brow oil or lash serum are recommended to keep the hairs beautifully conditioned. Aftercare info is also provided, with care products available in studio.
How do I make my brow tint and shape last?
Remove only stray hairs between appointments and try not to over-tweeze. Brush your brows upwards and outwards daily.
Using micellar water or a gentle cleanser can help maintain your colour, while a brow gel will keep everything beautifully in place. Our favourite is available in the studio.
Do you come to me for a spray tan?
Yes! Mobile tanning is available throughout East Auckland and surrounding areas, with travel fees applying to some locations further afield.
I personally confirm every mobile booking to make sure all the details are covered.
How do I get ready for a spray tan?
For the best results, exfoliate and remove unwanted body hair 24–48 hours before your appointment. Arrive with clean, dry skin, free from moisturiser, deodorant, perfume and makeup.
Your tan will typically last 5–7 days with good aftercare. Regular moisturising and gentle cleansing will help maintain an even, natural-looking fade.
A pre-tan consultation form is sent before your appointment, with preparation advice and everything you need to know. Aftercare instructions are also provided following your treatment, with customised rinse times.
I’m getting married. When should I get in contact?
So exciting! Send me your wedding date and we’ll plan the timing together.
Whether you’re considering brows, lashes, dermaplaning or tanning, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan leading up to your day. Most brides book their beauty treatments in with guidance from their Makeup Artist or Skin Specialist, approximately 6-12 months out. Our services usually come in towards the last few months leading up to your Wedding Day, alongside your bachelorette and pre wedding events.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Plans change, and that’s completely understandable! I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
Changes made within 24 hours of your appointment may incur a $50 cancellation fee.
If you’re running late, please let me know. Arrivals more than 15 minutes late may need to be rescheduled, with the cancellation fee applying.
Where do I park?
Nearby parking: Picton Street, Wellington St carpark, Uxbridge Road carpark and Parkhill Rd.
