Advanced Facials
Our advanced facials combine cutting-edge technology with clinical-grade products to address specific skin concerns. Treatments include CACI, Dermalux Flex MD, and GeneO+ therapies that improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall complexion. Each session is tailored to individual skin types and conditions by our certified aestheticians.
IPL Treatments
Intense Pulsed Light treatments effectively target pigmentation, vascular lesions, and unwanted hair. Our Level 4 qualified therapists use advanced IPL technology for skin rejuvenation and permanent hair reduction. Sessions include thorough consultation and aftercare advice to ensure optimal results and client safety.
Microneedling
This collagen-stimulating treatment uses fine needles to improve skin texture and reduce scarring. Available as standalone sessions or combined with PRP therapy, our microneedling treatments address acne scars, stretch marks, and signs of ageing. All procedures follow strict hygiene protocols with single-use sterile devices.
Waxing Services
We offer precision waxing for all body areas using high-quality products suitable for sensitive skin. Our therapists employ techniques that minimise discomfort while ensuring smooth results. Regular waxing clients benefit from reduced regrowth and improved skin texture through our recommended maintenance schedules.
Lash & Brow Care
Professional tinting, lifting, and lamination services enhance natural lashes and brows. Our treatments include semi-permanent solutions that last up to six weeks. All products are allergy-tested with patch testing available to ensure client safety and satisfaction with aesthetic outcomes.

Lovely staff, always mindful of what I would like out of a treatment. Would recommend to others. Can seem pricey compared to other businesses of the same kind but well worth it.

I cannot recommend the team at Studio 8 Beauty enough! I truly believe that Lisa is always looking to improve the customer experience and I have a huge amount of respect for her business. The therapists are amazing (especially Jaime) and everyone is so friendly and helpful.

My 1st visit to this salon was very welcoming. The receptionist when I called to book my appointment was really nice, polite & bubbly. The receptionist I met on entering was again equally as nice, polite & bubbly. Jamie my therapist was extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, professional & made me feel important & valued. Thank you ladies. See you again soon.
