DRY & TEAAt this ultra-feminine salon

(dryandtea.com) you can choose

from a list of wash-and-blow styles,

such as New York Femme (soft,

loose curls) or The Milan (sleek and

straight), or save time with a chic

bun or braid on dry hair. While your

tresses are being transformed,

indulge in teas, sweet treats or

bubbles. There are three locations;

Newmarket is the original, while

Britomart and the flagship City

Works Depot are both in the CBD.

HM NAILSOwner Lisa Hinchcliff is an

experienced podiatrist who

uses quality OPI and SpaRitual

polishes as well as hospital-grade

sterilisation techniques in her nail

salons, which are combined with

a podiatry clinic. Her Remuera

and Ellerslie salons (hmnails.co.nz)

are sleek and minimalist.

THE FACIALISTAshleigh Scott has a deliberately

low-tech, hands-on approach

at her City Works Depot clinic

(thefacialist.co.nz) – you won’t find

a list of treatments here because

everything is tailored to each client.

Scott makes her own Tribeca Skin

Tonics with organic oils and uses

and sells products by Osmosis,

Dermaviduals, Coola and Janesce.

She stocks dietary supplements

and herbal teas, too, all in the

name of holistic skin health.

EAST DAY SPATucked inside the five-star Skycity

Grand Hotel in the CBD, this

serene space (eastdayspa.com)

is a long-time favourite of beauty

editors for its extensive range of

treatments but most people go

there for the massages. Balinese

acupressure massage is the house

speciality and the business also has

outposts on the Indonesian island.

Best waxing

OFF & ONFounder Nicky Shore revolutionised

Auckland’s hair-removal scene in

2008 with the opening of her now

thriving business (offandon.co.nz).

The aim was to make the process

more professional and, dare we say

it, almost enjoyable (a wall switch

signifies when you’re ready for the

therapist to enter, which feels more

dignified). Shore’s three salons

in Newmarket, Britomart and

Takapuna specialise in Brazilians

– using special store-made wax –

and laser hair removal.

CHUAN SPA This wellness haven (chuanspa.

outdoor pool deck, sauna, herbal

steam room, ice bath and “snail

tiled tunnel of multiple face- and

waist-level jets that you walk

through). For a full hour of zen, try

the Chuan Executive Indulgence

treatment, which uses the spa’s

own line of oils and scrubs to

invigorate hands, feet and scalp.

MALONEY’S BARBER SHOPThis traditional barber shop

(maloneys.co.nz) near Victoria

Park in the CBD is an institution in

Auckland. Customers are willing

to queue for hours for a haircut

(although you can phone ahead to

book a virtual spot in the queue)

and shaves are by appointment.

Thankfully, a booking app is in

the works. Decorated with sports

memorabilia and sci-fi posters, the

salon has a man-cave atmosphere

and stocks a multitude of beard

oils and balms from brands such as

Primal Rituals, JS Sloane, Suavecito

and Lambert’s Luscious. Owner

Julian Maloney, a barber for more

than 20 years, sponsors the NZ

Beard & Moustache Competition.

ABOUT MANLast year, About Face, an

established Auckland chain of

clinics, devoted a space to men’s

skin care (aboutman.co.nz).

Clients can relax with a beer,

whisky or sparkling water in the

new spin-off in Ponsonby, which

specialises in skin issues such as

shaving irritation, ingrown hairs,

redness, red veins and large

pores. The clinic primarily uses

Ultraceuticals products but also

stocks cult local brand Triumph

& Disaster. There are facials on

offer – for clear skin, the one-hour

Cut and Polish includes a softening

clinical peel and extractions – as

well as treatments such as light

therapy and hair reduction.

ROOM 104 GROOMING LOUNGEFive years ago, inspired by the

hidden-away bars he’d seen

in New York and Melbourne,

Hanan James opened Room 104

Grooming Lounge (room104.co.nz)

with his brother, hairdresser Jay.

Complete with vintage barber

chairs, kauri timber beams and

floor-to-ceiling windows, the

loft-style six-chair salon on the

Avalon Felicity takes you to 11 ports,

including Düsseldorf and Boppard

near the World Heritage-listed

Rhine Gorge. Wherever you stop,

you’ll have a roster of active

pursuits at your disposal. Borrow

Enchanting Danube Boutique river-cruise company Uniworld (uniworld.com) realised early that not every onboard meal needs to be laden with kilojoules and was a pioneer in introducing its Travelling Lite menu of vegetarian and low-kilojoule dishes. You can look forward to those on the 10-day Enchanting Danube & Prague itinerary (departing 17 June), which cruises Europe’s second-longest river from Budapest to Passau, Germany, with a side-trip to Prague. There are plenty of stops, including Vienna and Bratislava, where you’ll have the chance to stretch your legs on biking and hiking excursions (pick up your Nordic walking poles before you disembark). Between ports, make the most of SS Maria Theresa’s wellness coach and fitness classes, including yoga and the Five Tibetan Rites exercises that stretch every muscle.

city of Cape Town on 21 February

journey takes you on an epic 12-day

return trip around the Cape of

Good Hope. The cruise line recently

teamed up with Dr Andrew Weil,

a pioneer in integrative medicine,

to roll out a health and wellbeing

strategy that extends to the

company’s enrichment program.

Between ports – including Mossel

Bay in South Africa and Lüderitz

in Namibia – you can join yoga

and meditation sessions aboard

Seabourn Sojourn, plus attend

seminars on topics such as

happiness and healing or mindful

meditation. You can also organise

one-on-one consultations. Make

the most of the spa with hot-stone

massages and treatments that

involve bamboo.

All aboard for AlaskaNumerous studies have shown the positive impact on your mental health of being in the wilderness – and there’s no place as wild as Alaska. UnCruise Adventures (uncruise.com) makes the most of the American state’s dramatic scenery on its seven-night Glacier Bay fitness and yoga experience aboard Safari Endeavour. The round trip from Juneau (departing 2 September) takes you through Glacier Bay National Park, a 1.3-million-hectare biosphere reserve that’s home to humpback whales, brown bears and puffins. See the landscape up close on kayaking and paddleboarding tours or stay on dry land for sunrise yoga and walking meditations. Between ports, wellness experts host presentations on mindfulness and fitness and small-group workshops on nutrition.

Books from the Canadian Centre

for Architecture

When asked to name designers they admire, the Pearts usually

turn to architecture and interiors before fashion. Dexter

of coffee-table books in the city and he never leaves without picking up something new.

If you like the cocktails at Majestique and Montréal Plaza, you can take home the syrups – cola, ginger ale and tonic – from this local brand (34oztonicmaison.com). The signature syrup, Tonic Maison, is made with cinchona bark, which gives it an amber colour.
