Chez Belle Skin Care is the beauty salon and skin clinic at French Street Centre in Pimlico, Townsville.

Beauty and Skin Treatments at Chez Belle, Pimlico

Chez Belle describes its approach as combining traditional techniques with modern treatments, built on safety and a positive client experience. Its website lists the treatments below — each links to Chez Belle's own page for that service. Prices aren't published online, so ask when you book.

Facials

Chez Belle offers rejuvenating and ultrasonic facials. Each one starts with a consultation, followed by deep cleansing and exfoliation, and is tailored to your skin — whether that's breakouts, signs of ageing, dehydration or just skin that needs a lift before a special event. More on Chez Belle's facials.

Skin treatments

Targeted cleansing, exfoliation and hydration treatments for concerns such as acne, ageing and dullness, suitable for all skin types and ages. In Townsville's sun and humidity, regular skin treatments are as much about maintenance as pampering.

Facial waxing, brow and lash tinting

Brow and lip waxing and shaping, plus brow and lash tinting for longer-lasting definition without daily make-up. More on facial waxing and tinting.

Female body waxing

Full-body or targeted waxing for women, using products designed for sensitive skin. Regular waxing can mean slower, finer regrowth than shaving. More on body waxing.

Eyelash lifts

A lift and curl for your natural lashes, without extensions — a popular option in Townsville's heat, where mascara rarely survives the day.

Massage and Reiki

Relaxation and tension-relief massage, including aromatherapy options, with pressure adjusted to suit you. Chez Belle also offers Reiki, a gentle energy-based relaxation practice using light touch or hands held just above the body. More on massage at Chez Belle.

Electrolysis Hair Removal in Townsville

Electrolysis is one of the things Chez Belle is best known for, and its website notes it's now a rarity in the beauty industry. Unlike waxing or laser, electrolysis treats each hair follicle individually with a small electrical current to stop it growing back, and it's the only hair removal method generally described as permanent. Chez Belle says it suits all skin and hair types, which matters because some other methods work poorly on fair, grey or red hair.

It's commonly used on the face — the upper lip, chin and brows — and on smaller areas such as the underarms. Because each hair is treated separately and hair grows in cycles, electrolysis usually takes a course of appointments rather than a single visit. Ask Chez Belle how many sessions to expect for the area you want treated. More on electrolysis at Chez Belle.

Chez Belle Opening Hours and Online Booking

Chez Belle is open Wednesday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and on Saturday from 9am to 1pm. It's closed Monday and Tuesday and on public holidays. Note that Chez Belle's Saturday hours run an hour later than the Centre's general Saturday hours.

Treatments are by appointment. The quickest way to book is Chez Belle's online booking page, which shows available times and lets you choose your treatment. You can also call the clinic on (07) 4775 4447.

Before Your Beauty Treatment

For facials and skin treatments, let the therapist know about any skin conditions, recent sun exposure, or skincare products you use — particularly anything containing retinol or acids. For waxing, hair generally needs to be a few millimetres long for the wax to grip, so don't shave in the days beforehand.

If you're booking electrolysis, a tint or a lash lift for the first time, ask whether a patch test is recommended and what aftercare to follow. In Townsville's heat it's also worth planning around the beach or the pool for a day or so after some treatments — the clinic can tell you what applies to yours.
