Bay Skin Studio
In January 2022, Shantel opened her own clinic in Mairangi Bay on Auckland’s North Shore. Bay Skin Studio is a boutique aesthetic clinic delivering high-quality, personalised treatments that give natural-looking results. In 2024 Shantel opened a second clinic in Waipu village, Bream Bay, Northland offering the same high-quality treatments and customer service.
Shantel works alongside an experienced NZSCM Cosmetic Doctor and G.P and the clinic is audited to meet NZSCM standards.
Bay Skin Studio offers the very best in appearance medicine in a calm and private setting, and is fully equipped with all the required medical equipment to ensure client safety at all times.
After many years in the skin and cosmetic industry, Bay Skin Studio was created to offer an ethical, personalised alternative to the oversaturated and poorly regulated aesthetics market. The name reflects our coastal roots while our philosphy centres on safety, honesty and results.
Shantel is also highly experienced with needle-phobics and offers the same gentle care whether her clients seek help for aesthetic purposes, or for medical conditions such as headaches, teeth grinding and excessive sweating. Whatever your reason for visiting Bay Skin Studio, you can relax knowing that you’re in skilled and gentle hands.

Testimonials from clients
“I cannot recommend Shantel's service and manner enough. Right from the first phone conversation to the consult, service and finished result, Shantel has been incredible all round. Warm, friendly, approachable, non-judging, informative and extremely professional, she completely catered to my direct needs and requests with respect and ease. I felt immediately safe in her hands. You will love her and her highly skilled services!!!”
