Linden Row Beauty
Skin and brows, done properly.
Linden Row is a small salon in Merivale built around two things: skin that is looked after properly, and brows that suit the face they are on. No packages you did not ask for, no upselling, and no rushing you out the door.
Nadia opened Linden Row after eleven years working in other people’s salons, mostly because she wanted to run appointments the way she thought they should be run. Enough time to actually do the treatment, and enough time to talk about what your skin is doing between visits.
Every facial starts with a proper look at your skin rather than a set routine, so two people booking the same treatment rarely get the same appointment.
The menu
Treatments
Facials
Express Facial
30 min, $75A proper cleanse, exfoliation and mask when you are short on time. Good before an event, or between your longer appointments.
Signature Facial
60 min, $135The one most people book. Double cleanse, exfoliation, extractions if your skin wants them, mask, massage, and a plan for what to do at home. Tailored on the day rather than a fixed routine.
Advanced Resurfacing Facial
75 min, $185A stronger treatment for texture, congestion and pigmentation, with a peel selected to suit your skin. A patch test is needed first, so book the Signature Facial if you are new to us.
Dermaplaning
30 min, $95Physical exfoliation that takes away dead skin and vellus hair, so makeup sits better and your products actually absorb. Often added to a facial.
Brows and lashes
Brow Shape and Tint
30 min, $55Shaped to your face rather than to a stencil, then tinted to suit your colouring.
Brow Lamination
45 min, $95Sets the hairs so the brow sits fuller and follows one direction. Lasts around six weeks, and includes a shape and tint.
Lash Lift and Tint
60 min, $110Lifts and tints your own lashes. No extensions and no maintenance, for six to eight weeks.
Classic Lash Extensions
120 min, $160One extension per natural lash, for a full set. It takes two hours, so allow the time.

Booking
You can book any treatment on this page yourself, at whatever hour suits, and pick the therapist you would rather see. You will get a confirmation straight away and a reminder the morning of your appointment. If you would rather talk it through first, ring the salon and we will work out what suits your skin.
We ask for 24 hours if you need to change or cancel, and there is a link in your confirmation email that lets you do it yourself.
Who you will see
Nadia Cole
Owner and senior therapist
Eleven years in the industry, and the reason most people end up here. Nadia takes the facials and the advanced treatments, and does brows for people who have been let down by them before.
Priya Raman
Therapist
Priya looks after brows, lashes and waxing. Fast without ever feeling rushed, which is a harder combination than it sounds.
I have had facials in a lot of places and this is the first one where someone actually explained what they were doing and why. My skin has been better in the six weeks since than it was all last year.
Nadia does the only brows I have ever been happy with. She shapes them to my face instead of whatever is fashionable that month.
Booked online at ten at night, got the confirmation straight away, and got a reminder the morning of. Tiny thing, but I never miss an appointment there now.
Everything is sterilised between clients, and the linen is changed for every appointment.

For anyone weighing this up
See the owner’s side too
The booking system on this site is the real thing, not a mock-up. Book yourself an appointment above and the confirmation email lands in your inbox within seconds, with a link that lets you cancel it again.
The half most people never get shown is the owner’s. This is where a salon runs its day: every booking as it comes in, phone bookings added by hand, cancellations, and days blocked out for a holiday or a sick therapist. Have a proper look around, it is all fictional data.
