Welcome to “Luna Rosa Health and Beauty”.

Here at Luna Rosa we want you to enjoy your salon experience
and to go away feeling better than when you arrived.
We will give you the best treatment, with the best results we possibly can.

We offer a thoroughly professional service with a friendly, casual touch.  No pretensions; no airs and graces; we just want you to feel comfortable.  (This is the “Royal WE” as I actually work alone for the time being.)

I look forward, one day, to bringing another beautician on board, to increase services and availability, to answer the phone and messages more quickly, and to allow you more flexibility with your appointment times.

I am very excited to be able to offer IPL (Laser) treatments.  It’s a wonderful and innovative new addition to the beauty industry.

Four years ago I was part of the very first class in New Zealand to sit the “ITEC International Diploma for IPL and Laser”.   You can read all about the treatments on the “IPL  FAQ” (Intense Pulsed Light – Frequently Asked Questions) page.  I think you’ll find this very helpful.

Why the change of name?
The new salon name resolves several issues:
Firstly, other “First Impressions” businesses exist, which prompted me to think up another name.
Plus I was unable to get a website for ‘firstimpressions’ – and I had no trouble securing ’lunarosa’.
“Luna Rosa” means “Pink Moon” or “Rose Moon” – (in Spanish and Italian).
That’s ‘Rosa’ – not ‘Rossa’:  Rosa means pink and Rossa means red. – (everybody asks)
I chose this name because there is a family connection with each word, plus I have a bit of an obsession with pink.   I hope you like the new name as much I do.
