A beauty studio in the middle of Herne Bay

Herne Bay Beauty sits on Herne Bay High Street, inside The Mall Shopping Centre. It is a full-service beauty salon rather than a single-treatment one, which means brows, waxing, lashes, facials, skincare, semi-permanent makeup, hair, aesthetics and traditional Thai massage all happen under one roof.

In practice that flexibility is the point. Before a wedding or a holiday you can have your brows, a facial and your hair sorted in one visit rather than spending a morning walking between three appointments. And if you are not sure which treatment you actually need, there is someone to ask.

We try to keep the experience calm. Treatments that need privacy happen behind a closed door, appointments have enough time in them to talk properly, and nobody is pushed towards a course of treatments or a shelf of products they did not come in for.

Being on the High Street also means we see a lot of the same faces, people who come in every few weeks and whose preferences we know. That is the part we enjoy most, and it shapes how we treat people who are visiting for the first time.
