This April marks a significant milestone for one of Ponsonby’s most established beauty destinations, Equipoise Skin Clinic & Spa, as it celebrates 30 years of caring for the skin and wellbeing of the local community.
Located on Jervois Road, Equipoise has become a familiar and trusted name over the past three decades, a place where clients return not only for treatments, but for the sense of care, consistency, and connection that has defined the business since its early days.
Owner Jo Lee, who purchased the business in 2009, has guided Equipoise through years of change within the beauty industry, while staying true to its core philosophy: personalised care and treatments that deliver real results.
“The beauty industry is always evolving, and that’s one of the things I love most about it,” says Jo. “We’ve certainly had our challenges, particularly through Covid, but it’s been such a privilege to continue growing both Equipoise and Ponsonby Hair. I’m really excited for what’s ahead.”
Over the years, Equipoise has built a loyal client base, with many clients returning for decades, a reflection of the trust and relationships that sit at the heart of the business. For Jo, this is what makes the milestone particularly meaningful.
“There’s something very special about seeing familiar faces walk through the door. Many of our clients have been part of our journey for a long time, and we’ve loved being part of theirs.”
Interestingly, the story has come full circle. When Equipoise first opened 30 years ago, it offered both skin and hair services. Today, the clinic once again sits alongside hair, now located upstairs from Ponsonby Hair, creating a destination where clients can enjoy both beauty and hair services in one visit.
As the beauty industry has shifted towards more results-driven treatments and personalised skin plans, Equipoise has continued to evolve, combining advanced skin technologies with a warm, community-focused approach that has remained unchanged.
To celebrate the milestone, Equipoise will host a birthday week from 7–11 April, offering a special thank-you to clients. During this time, anyone with an appointment at Equipoise will receive a complimentary 30-minute treatment or upgrade, adding an extra touch of indulgence to their visit. They will also go in the draw to win The Ultimate Equipoise Experience.
After 30 years in business, Equipoise remains a much-loved part of the Ponsonby community, a testament to its ability to evolve while staying grounded in what matters most: its people.
