About Howth Haven Beauty
Picture this: you're strolling along the bustling Howth Harbour, the salty sea air filling your lungs, seals barking in the distance, and fishing boats bobbing gently. Just there, right on the harbour front, sits Howth Haven Beauty, your go-to haven for pampering since 1999. This award-winning Yon-Ka salon feels like a warm embrace from a local friend, with its contemporary design, private treatment rooms that glow with tranquillity, and a team of expert therapists ready to melt away your stresses.
As a unisex spot, everyone feels at home here, whether you're after a signature facial, luxurious body wrap, or that perfect mani-pedi before hitting the Howth Cliff Walk. They've scooped up accolades like Yon-Ka Salon of the Year in 2006 and 2012, plus Centre of Excellence Awards in 2019 and 2020. It's no wonder; they use only top-tier Yon-Ka products from Paris, packed with plant extracts for glowing skin and deep relaxation. Pop in after a DART ride from Dublin city centre, just five minutes' walk from the station, or park for free right outside.
What to Expect
Expect personalised treatments in warm, candlelit rooms overlooking the Irish Sea. Signature offerings include the Yon-Ka Intensive Serum C20 facial for brightening, or detox scrubs like Gommage Doux that leave your skin silky smooth. Massages blend therapeutic touch with aromatic oils, easing out knots from your travels. Sessions last 60 to 90 minutes, with add-ons like lash lifts or gel polishes. The vibe is serene yet lively, with the hum of harbour life just beyond the window.
Insider Tips
Book the harbour-view room for sunrise treatments; pair it with fresh seafood from Beshoff Bros nearby. Locals swear by the Time Resist Nuit night cream, available in their online shop. Visit midweek for fewer crowds, and ask for a therapist who's been there since the early days, like owner Beutifi's team. After, wander to the Summit Inn for a pint with a view. It's the ultimate way to recharge during your 10 days in Dublin, blending coastal charm with five-star skincare. With Business All-Star accreditation, you know it's trustworthy. Treat yourself; you deserve it after conquering those Howth hills.
