About
belle amour studio
Owner - Samantha
Belle Amour Studio has operated in both Gold Coast and Christchurch, providing top-tier beauty, cosmetic tattoo and skin treatments. Our Training Academy later designed courses to help elevate others in the industry and grow their businesses successfully. At Belle Amour Studio, we are proud to be an internationally award-winning cosmetic tattoo and beauty business, known for delivering high-quality results with a commitment to natural, timeless beauty but with market leading treatments and techniques.
Samantha has loved skin for as long as she can remember. With a deep passion for both skin products and the chemistry behind how they work, she graduated with her International iTEC Diploma, specialising in dermal therapy and treatments. After working as a Dermal therapist and gaining extensive experience in skin and appearance medicine clinics, she founded Belle Amour Studio in Christchurch, New Zealand. Her Cosmetic Tattooing has been increasingly popular since returning to Christchurch, specialising in Lip Blush and Brow Tattooing.
After spending some time in the Gold Coast, Belle Amour Studio has now relocated to the heart of Christchurch. Now based in Belfast, just minutes from Merivale, Riccarton, and Fendalton, Belle Amour Studio is an affordable skin clinic dedicated to delivering real results and transformative changes in skin health. With a commitment to excellence, education, and innovation, our studio continues to empower both clients and beauty professionals with cutting-edge treatments and expert training.
