Nik at Mojo Beauty is here to help you get your mojo back.
Nik Henshaw is in the empowerment business. She runs Mojo Beauty in Fendalton, and while the beauty industry seems focused on looks, she knows that skin, brows, lashes – all the things a beauty salon tends to – can spark inner confidence.
After extensive travel through her 20s, Nik did a social work degree, practicing for over ten years in that sometimes difficult but mostly rewarding industry in both New Zealand and London. She returned home, and six years ago she started Mojo, her own beauty and massage studio.
This wasn’t in an effort to leave her past career behind. Nik’s aim is to boost confidence and self-esteem, and one of the keys to that is making people proud of the skin they’re in, so they don’t feel the need to hide behind layers of makeup.
It’s a collaboration. Nik provides support and advice to her clients as they choose between different types of facials, dermal needling or enzymatic peels. She’ll also discuss holistic approaches, diet and lifestyle changes, and find what fits within her clients’ budgets. She’s still got the empowerment vibe too; a session with Nik might feel like therapy, and you’re bound to come away feeling inspired.
As well as skin treatments, Nik offers lash and brow treatments. Lashes in particular feminise the face, so they’re a fantastic vehicle for creating a feel-good boost. A lash treatment can create joy, which aligns with Nik’s beauty philosophy.
This summer, Nik’s expanding into a lush new studio, a calm, multi-use space that will serve as a haven for her clients. She’s becoming more mobile too, with the ability to meet clients at their home as well as in her salon.
