If winter has your skin feeling extra-thirsty, treat yourself to a treatment at Mermaid’s new The Facial Bar. Created by Kelly Noone, who is perhaps better known as Skin Queeen, the concept is a bid to disrupt the facial experience and change the way women treat themselves when it comes to in-salon treatments. The Facial Bar aims to create a premium experience in an atmosphere that feels like a luxurious living room.

Starting from $350, The Facial Bar’s treatments are tailored to the needs of every client’s skin type, skin concern and treatment goals. If time is not on your side, opt for the quick 45-minute Glow Time, or settle in for the full 75-minute experience that begins with a succinct questionnaire. Then, surrender to complete relaxation with the help of a weighted blanket and reclining chair. “Our mission at The Facial Bar is to change the entire facial experience for every customer. For too long self-care has been about results driven treatments, chemical peels and the pressure of ‘fixing something’, matched with an overwhelming and uncomfortable sales experience at the end,” says Kelly. “I’ve found it hard to find a reputable salon where the client’s journey and experience is the focus and priority. I’m proud to announce that The Facial Bar will fill this exact gap and offer a luxury day-spa experience built into your everyday life where you can be in and out in 90 minutes.”

The Facial Bar is located at 5/2460 Gold Coast Highway, Mermaid Beach. Bookings are available here.
