Slow Beauty is a treatment-only beauty studio in Papanui, Christchurch, run by Yurie.

Slow Beauty is a treatment-only beauty studio located in Papanui, Christchurch, run by therapist Yurie. The salon centres on face threading, Brazilian waxes, body waxing, brow shaping and tint, lash tint and facial treatments. Hours and booking details are listed on the salon website.

The owner notes professional training and experience, with NZ and ITEC (international) beauty and body qualifications and seven years of commercial salon experience before opening Slow Beauty. Service descriptions on the website state an emphasis on slow, thorough care and a stress-free, person-centred approach. No retail products are sold in the salon.

Customers can expect a relaxed, unhurried appointment style that aims to let clients slow down and unwind. The website highlights longer opening hours and an appointment-only model, with a text number for bookings. The salon describes treatments as quality-focused and intended to leave clients feeling both beautiful and energised after a visit.

Locally, Slow Beauty is presented as a small, specialist studio in Papanui with a single therapist offering a concise set of hair removal and facial services. The combination of extended opening times, a focus on mindful, no-rush treatments, and a product-free salon environment are the distinguishing practical features mentioned on the business website.

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Slow Beauty shows a healthy presence on Google with a 4.9/10 score, indicating room for growth but solid basics in place. Key strengths include claimed status, a functioning website link, and a visible phone number, while there is still no logo. The business description is improving and photos are increasing, which supports better local visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    ClaimedYour listing is claimed, so you control what it says, you can reply to reviews, and edits suggested by the public come to you first.
  • ✓
    NameYour business name is showing on the listing, so a customer searching for you by name finds you, and everything else on the listing hangs off it.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.
  • 2
    Description lengthYour description gives a reader less than half the listings here do, so someone reading yours and then a competitor's gets less to go on from you.
  • 3
    Photos on the listingYou have fewer photos than nearly every business here, so a customer comparing you against them builds a picture of their work and guesses at yours.

Your reviews

Slow Beauty's Google Business health is very low with a score of 0.9/10. The strongest signal is the need to build trust through more reviews and active engagement. Key findings show very limited reviews and no response to existing feedback, while establishing a first solid star rating will help attract new customers.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together put you at the bottom of this market - either the rating is low, or there are too few reviews behind it for anyone to trust it.
  • 2
    Star ratingYou have no star rating yet, so a customer scanning results sees an empty space where every other business shows a number.
  • 3
    Response rateNone of your reviews have a reply, which means a customer reading them sees your happiest and your angriest customers with nothing from you in between.

Where you show up on the map

Slow Beauty shows low overall health in Google Maps search with a 2.0/10: a sign of limited visibility. The strongest current opportunities lie in raising aggregate map presence and boosting the borough-specific results, where the business already has some local recognition. Focus should be on improving local visibility while preserving existing keyword strengths.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across fewer of the surrounding suburbs than half the businesses here, so someone two suburbs over searching for your service is shown your competitors and never sees your name.
  • 2
    Maps visibility in your own suburbYou show up in local Maps searches, but below most businesses in your suburb, so a customer looking from a nearby street is shown someone else first.

Where customers find you

Slow Beauty shows mixed health with several strong assets and notable gaps. The overall health is below average, and the most important findings are a very high trust Facebook presence and a solid Fresha listing, while TikTok and LinkedIn presence are missing and offer growth opportunities.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Having a Facebook page at allWe found your Facebook Profile page, and the trail is strong enough that nobody would question it is yours - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Yellow ProfileWe could not find an active Yellow Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.
  • 3
    Fresha ProfileWe could not find an active Fresha Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

05Facebook pageMarketbase business report

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page goes to a domain that is yours, so a visitor who came for the photos leaves on your terms and the enquiry lands in your inbox rather than someone else's.
  • ✓
    A page address you choseThe address on your page carries your business name, so a customer told about you at a barbecue can find the page by typing what they heard.
  • ✓
    An email addressCustomers can see an email address on the page, which gives the one who wants a quote in writing a route that does not depend on anyone picking up the phone.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.
  • 2
    A phone numberNo phone number is published on your Facebook page, so someone who found you there and wants to ring has to go hunting elsewhere or send a message and wait.
  • 3
    What your page says about youThere is more in your intro than in half the pages here, so a visitor has a real sense of the business before they reach the photos.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Slow Beauty shows an above-average on-page SEO health score of 6.3 out of 10 for the homepage, indicating solid optimisation with room for targeted improvements. Notable strengths include an outstanding on-page SEO score, a valid favicon, a relevant meta description, a good text-to-page size ratio, and a present H1 tag. The most impactful opportunities involve refining the meta description and title tag and making the URL more SEO-friendly.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is yours alone, so everything your site earns - links, mentions, search standing - accumulates under your name and stays with the business.
  • ✓
    FaviconThe tab your site opens in carries your own icon, so a customer with a dozen tabs going can find their way back to you by sight.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Meta descriptionYour pages carry no summary line of your own, so the two lines under your name in search results are whatever Google decides best fits the search.
  • 2
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 3
    Page titleThe headline on your home page is either a single word or long enough that a search result cuts it off part way through.

07Google search and trafficMarketbase business report

How people find you on Google

Slow Beauty shows average website traffic health with room to improve paid activity. The main finding is that paid traffic is not yet detectable and paid spend is unclear, while organic traffic is above the 25th percentile and improving. Focus on small, targeted paid campaigns and continue refining organic SEO fundamentals to sustain traffic growth.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

Your hours against demand

Slow Beauty's opening hours are broadly well aligned with local demand in Papanui. The studio is open during several high-demand weekday and weekend hours, with no low-demand open times flagged. There are some missed demand windows on weekend afternoons when the studio is closed. Overall timing supports customer availability, with a few targeted evening adjustments worth considering to capture more weekend bookings.
