Top Beauty Spots of the Northern Beaches
For a Beaches-based glow-up, these salons have you sorted.
Finding a good beauty salon is like finding The One. Once you track them down, you’re not letting them go! And it’s fair enough. When you’re parting with your hard-earned coin on beauty treatments, it’s understandable that you want top-shelf results and entrusting someone to look after your spray tan/eyebrows/waxing/wedding prep is a big deal.
So, if you’re based on the sprawling peninsula of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, we’ve done the hard yards for you and rounded up the best beauty salons in the Northern Beaches.
The Skin Bar
Founded by Samantha Appel, The Skin Bar is the Northern Beaches new go-to for sustainable skin health. They’re best known for their lush green-bathed interiors and no-tox approach to glowing skin, with signature treatments ranging from skin needling and RF needling to K-Beauty treatments and seriously relaxing (and hard-working) facials. If you’re not sure where to start, the Smooth Sculpt & Snatch created with Sydney it-girl Sammy Robinson delivers a high performing combo of full-face skin needling with RF needling on the jawline, neck and décolletage.
Better yet, to celebrate the Manly opening, locals can enjoy discounted introductory pricing on skin needling and RF needling, with a complimentary consultation and LED add-on included too.

By Bianca
By Bianca’s superpower lies in their holistic approach to skin health. Each treatment is tailored to your individual needs, kicking off with a thorough consultation to establish your skin concerns and uncover any lifestyle tweaks or supplements that will help improve your skin from the inside out. From there, they’ll build out an in-clinic treatment plan completely unique to you, working exclusively with evidence-based, high-performance formulations that are free from synthetic fragrances, harsh preservatives, and harmful chemical. The result? Visibly improved skin for the long-run.
Face & Body Clinic
It’s safe to say, Manly’s year-round bronzed bodies can be attributed to this popular beauty salon. Although they’re known for their spray tans, their other treatments deserve a good look in too – from body scrubs and facials to laser hair removal, cosmetic tattooing and non-surgical face and neck lift.

Bare Beauty House

Their toxic-free facials are to die for! They also offer toxic-free manis and pedis, lash and brow tinting with natural products, and they have extensive wedding prep packages on hand too.
