Verve sits down with Sue Hudson, skin expert and founder of Renew Skin and Body.
Sue, can you tell our readers how long you’ve been in Ellerslie with your beauty business?
I established Renew Skin and Body in 2003/04, initially doing mostly nails and spray tans. But as client demand changed over the years, we added more advanced facial and body treatments over.
Your clients come from all over Auckland – why do you think this is?
We offer a gender-neutral clinic and everyone is welcome. We customise each treatment to each client – no cookie-cutter facials or one-size-fits-all skin treatments here! Each facial is bespoke. I even have clients coming up from Hamilton and down from Whangaparaoa each month, so I must be doing something right!
Tell us about your products?
We use Lira Clinical, a cosmeceuticals and botanical range; and Elementals, a bioactive, plant-based, vegan skincare. Each range has its place and enables us to curate a skin treatment for what you need on the day.
Do you offer a payment plan or memberships?
We offer a buy five, get one free on all facials. So, pre-pay for five facials, and you’ll get the sixth for free! We also have different promotions throughout the year, to work with the seasons and what skin needs most at that time. We have Afterpay and Laybuy to spread payments over 4-6 weeks.
What’s your specialty?
Bespoke facials! I love designing a skin treatment to target a client’s concerns, and blend in relaxation for a complete package! Relaxation with results. I also love skin tag removal. So many people have annoying skin tags, cherry angiomas, and solar keratosis that can be easily removed, and I just love how happy people are after the treatment.
