Christmas Countdown: 'you' time at the Spa at Mollies

I was very happy to hear that the Spa at Mollies in Tweed Street, Herne Bay is under new management, and that the new team is headed by a woman that I’ve since learned is a bit of a New Zealand beauty industry legend – Sam.

I’ve always loved a trip to Mollies for its ease of parking and discrete location – no chance of bumping into any walking to your car post-facial on one of Herne Bay’s prettiest back streets – and now the spa offering is equally as exciting.

As well as offering an extensive Spa menu using products from Thalgo, St Tropez, Sparitual, Lilash and the like, Sam has launched a new concept called “Mollies Time”, which I experienced a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved the idea of.

You are essentially buying dedicated treatment time of either 1 hour for $150.00, 1.5 hours for $225.00 or 2 hours for $290.00, during which you and your therapist will determine what you need most on the day. This could include traditional treatments and massages ranging from specialised facials, tinting, waxing, tanning, manicure, petite pedi and other packages, which can be customised to suit your individual needs at the time of your appointment. It can be a combination of all or some of the items on the menu and means you are never left, being looked after from top to toe ensuring true relaxation and value for money.

In my 1.5 hours I experienced everything from a beautiful back massage to a facial, brow tint and shape and nail and cuticle treatment, emerging feeling like a million bucks. You can also do group bookings of this time if you have something – or someone – to celebrate, and they will take care of your every whim. Their team of lovely and very affable expert therapists will work with your group so that you all enjoy a play day at the Spa, trying a little of whatever you might fancy!

Reservations at Spa at Mollies Auckland are essential, so give them a bell on (09) 376 3489 and buy some time to enjoy for someone you love this Christmas!
