About Brenda

IMG_4858.JPG

I trained and qualified with a Diploma in Beauty Therapy in 1991 at the prestigious Joyce Blok Beauty Therapy School - with the vision to provide a waxing experience customers could rave about and brows and lashes to die for. 

I moved to Kerikeri from Auckland in 2002 and opened Kerikeri’s biggest day spa - Skin Dynamique Day Spa which operated for 12+ years before I sold it in 2015. After taking a break and spending time with family I was really excited to scale down and open a boutique business in 2017 - Brenda’s Beauty Bar, focused on exceptional service and treatments and its been thriving ever since.

My philosophy is to stick to what I know, and do it well. I pride myself in attending the latest training and keep up to date with world leading beauty solutions, products and trends so I can provide the best treatments and services to you.

I love leading training and coaching other therapists to enable them to do the best work of their lives so we can all provide exceptional treatments to our clients.

Outside of work I love to goto the gym and do RPM, go fishing, do gardening, spend quality time with my friends and family and travel. My favourite place so far has been New York so if you love it as much as I do then lets chat next time you’re in the clinic.
