Laurens Lounge

Laurens Lounge is a Maitland spa and skin clinic built around the idea that targeted treatments and proper relaxation can sit together. The small team includes two senior beauty and skin therapists, Lauren Thomas and Laura Peters, who combine skin-focused services with massage and spa-style care. Lauren, the owner, has 25 years of industry experience and specialises in treatments aimed at a range of skin concerns. Laura has 18 years in the industry and brings a particular interest in relaxation treatments as well as results-driven skin work. Krissy, the salon’s lash technician, has more than seven years’ experience and tailors lash sets from softer classic looks to fuller glam styles.

The standout feature is the Japanese-inspired Head Spa Sanctuary, which can accommodate two clients at a time. Its named experiences range from the 40-minute Risetto, or “reset”, to the more extensive two-hour Saikou experience. Depending on the booking, the head spa treatments may include scalp cleansing, waterfall-style water treatments, nourishing hair masks, pressure-point work, massage tools, steam, facial massage and aromatherapeutic finishing touches. The Atama Supa experience adds hand and arm care, while the Shinseina experience includes facial exfoliation, hydration and massage. With space for two, the sanctuary could suit friends or partners wanting to book together, while the broader treatment menu also gives solo visitors plenty of options.

Skin services cover a wide range of needs, from vitamin C and illumination facials to customised treatments, peels, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, Hydrafacial-style services, LED sessions and skin needling. The venue offers treatment variations for concerns including dullness, dehydration, pigmentation, fine lines, uneven texture and acne grades I and II, with consultation-based bookings available for clients unsure where to start. Many services incorporate a signature scalp, neck and shoulder massage, reflecting the lounge’s balance of skin treatment and downtime. There are also lash services, brow waxing, LED passes and gift vouchers.

The overall experience is intended to feel tranquil and personalised rather than purely clinical, with the therapists describing their approach as a spa-style environment alongside professional skin treatments. Laurens Lounge has a 5.0 Google rating from 53 reviews, according to the supplied venue facts. It is best suited to visitors seeking a one-off facial, a longer head spa ritual, ongoing skin treatments, or a shared appointment for two in Maitland, Newcastle.
