KJs Services
Traditional Thai massage uses rhythmic pressure and assisted stretching to release tension, improve flexibility, and restore energy flow throughout the body. Performed fully clothed on a mat — no oils used. Ideal if you carry tension in your back, hips, or shoulders, or simply want to feel looser and lighter after a long week.
A smooth, flowing full-body massage using warm oils designed to melt away stress and leave you feeling deeply calm. The pressure is gentle to medium — perfect for first-time visitors or anyone who simply needs to switch off completely for an hour.
Can’t choose between Thai and relaxing? This treatment blends the assisted stretching and pressure techniques of traditional Thai massage with the soothing, flowing strokes of an oil massage. The best of both — a complete full-body experience.
Targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue using sustained, firm pressure. Particularly effective for chronic muscle tension, injury recovery, desk-related postural problems, and persistent knots that a relaxing massage won’t reach. Please advise KJ of any injuries before your appointment.
Designed for active bodies — whether you’re training regularly, competing, or recovering from physical exertion. Focuses on overworked muscle groups, improves circulation and range of motion, and helps prevent injury. Suitable before or after physical activity.
A gentle, nurturing massage adapted specifically for expectant mothers. Relieves common pregnancy discomforts including lower back pain, swollen legs, hip tension, and fatigue — using positioning and techniques that are safe and comfortable throughout. Suitable from the second trimester onwards. Please advise KJ of your stage of pregnancy when booking.
Smooth basalt stones are heated and placed on key points of the body, then used alongside hands-on massage to ease deep muscle tension and improve circulation. The warmth penetrates further than hands alone, making this one of the most deeply therapeutic treatments we offer — and one of the most requested.
KJ’s signature full-experience treatment combining a tailored body massage with a Katherine Daniels facial. Perfect for a special occasion, a birthday treat, or simply when you want the complete spa experience from head to toe. Two treatments, one uninterrupted session — the best way to experience everything KJ offers.
Tok Sen is an ancient Northern Thai healing technique using a specially crafted wooden mallet and wedge to send therapeutic vibrations deep into the muscles and energy lines of the body. The sensation is unlike anything produced by hands alone — deeply penetrating, profoundly relaxing, and unlike any massage you will have experienced elsewhere. This is a rare specialty that very few therapists in New Zealand are trained to perform. KJ is one of them.
A soothing massage focused on the feet and lower legs, using gentle kneading and stroking techniques to relieve tired, aching feet and reduce swelling. An excellent standalone treatment after a long day on your feet, or as an add-on to a longer session.
Based on the principle that specific points on the feet correspond to organs and systems throughout the body. Firm, precise pressure is applied to these reflex points to stimulate circulation, promote balance, and support overall wellbeing. Different from a standard foot massage — more targeted, more therapeutic.
A full-body exfoliation treatment that buffs away dead skin cells using a professional-grade scrub, leaving skin noticeably smoother, softer, and refreshed. Can be combined with a massage for a complete spa experience. Particularly popular before a special occasion.
Targets the three areas where most people carry the most tension — especially those who spend long hours at a desk, drive frequently, or suffer from tension headaches. A focused, effective treatment that delivers real relief in a short time.
A targeted facial treatment designed to refresh and revive the skin in a shorter session. Ideal if you’re short on time but want to leave looking and feeling noticeably brighter. Uses professional skincare products suited to your skin type.
A full facial treatment focused on deep hydration, repair, and nourishment. Takes time to properly cleanse, treat, and restore the skin using high-quality professional products. Ideal for dry, tired, or stressed skin — or simply when you want a thorough, results-driven facial rather than a quick refresh.
A results-driven facial using the premium Katherine Daniels skincare range. Tailored to your skin type and concerns — whether that’s hydration, brightening, anti-ageing, or deep cleansing. Your skin will feel genuinely transformed.
Candy's Services
Candy’s speciality — and where her seven years of experience really shows. Traditional Thai massage using rhythmic pressure, thumb work, and assisted stretching to release deep tension and restore the body’s natural energy flow. Performed fully clothed, no oils. If you prefer a firm, traditional Thai technique delivered with real skill and warmth, book with Candy.
A flowing, full-body oil massage that eases away tension and leaves you in a state of genuine calm. Candy’s natural warmth and cheerful energy make this the perfect treatment for anyone who wants to feel completely at ease from the moment they walk in.
The best of both techniques in one session — Candy combines the stretching and pressure work of traditional Thai massage with the smooth, soothing strokes of a relaxing oil massage. A complete treatment that addresses both muscle tension and deep relaxation simultaneously.
Firm, focused pressure targeting the deeper muscle layers where chronic tension lives. Candy’s strong technique and thorough approach make her deep tissue treatments particularly effective for those who need real pressure — not a light touch. Please let Candy know of any injuries before your session.
A wonderfully soothing treatment focused on the feet and lower legs. Candy’s foot massages are thorough and unhurried — clients regularly describe them as the highlight of their visit. Perfect after a long day or as a treat in its own right.
Chiharu's Services
Precise brow shaping tailored to your face shape and natural brow growth. Chiharu’s background in detailed, technical work means every hair is placed intentionally — the result is clean, defined brows that frame your face without looking overdone.
A tint applied to the brows to deepen, define, and enhance their natural colour. Ideal for sparse, light, or greying brows. Results last approximately 4—6 weeks. Can be done as a standalone treatment or combined with a shape.
The complete brow treatment — tint applied first, then shaped to perfection once the colour has developed. The most popular brow service and exceptional value for the result you get..
Both brows and lashes tinted in one appointment. Lash tinting darkens and defines the lashes without mascara — particularly effective for those with fair or light lashes who want a more defined eye without the daily maintenance.
Brows shaped and one facial wax area treated in a single efficient appointment. A practical combination that covers the most common facial grooming needs in under half an hour.
The full eye treatment — brow tint, lash tint, and brow shape in one session. Walk in, walk out looking noticeably more polished without a single product applied. Results last 4—6 weeks.
Quick, precise, effective. Chiharu’s waxing technique minimises discomfort and removes hair cleanly without irritation. In and out in ten minutes.
Fast and thorough chin wax leaving the skin clean and smooth. One of the most frequently repeated treatments — most clients book every 4—6 weeks.
Both areas treated together in one appointment — more efficient and slightly better value than booking separately.
A quick and surprisingly satisfying treatment. Professional nose wax removes unwanted hair cleanly and thoroughly — results typically last 3—4 weeks.
Clean, thorough underarm waxing leaving skin smooth for 3—4 weeks. Chiharu’s technique is fast and precise — minimal discomfort, maximum result.
Full forearm waxed smooth. Popular year-round but particularly requested heading into summer.
Complete arm waxing from wrist to shoulder. Smooth, long-lasting results — typically 4—6 weeks before regrowth requires retreatment.
Full back waxed cleanly and thoroughly. Chiharu’s technique ensures even coverage with minimal passes — effective and as comfortable as a back wax can be.
A tidy of the bikini line — removing hair outside the swimwear line for a clean, neat result. Ideal for maintaining between more extensive treatments.
A more thorough bikini wax removing more hair than a standard tidy. The choice varies by client preference — Chiharu will confirm exactly what you’d like before beginning.
A full Brazilian wax for first-time clients. The extra time allows Chiharu to work carefully and thoroughly, explaining each step and ensuring you’re comfortable throughout. First-time Brazilians take longer — the $75 price reflects that honestly.
For returning clients maintaining their Brazilian. Quicker, more straightforward, and reduced in price to reward your loyalty.
Inner or outer thigh waxed smooth. Often combined with a bikini or leg treatment for a more comprehensive result.
Lower leg waxed from ankle to knee. A popular choice for those who want smooth legs without committing to a full leg treatment.
From ankle to mid-thigh — covers the most visible areas of the leg with a thorough, even result. A popular choice heading into summer or before a holiday.
Complete leg waxing from ankle to upper thigh. Chiharu’s full leg wax is thorough and efficient — smooth results that last 4—6 weeks.
