From Sea to Salty : Island nurturing for hair and body

Short hair may not care, but Salty will give your hair the best care! Here, commitment to quality ensures your hair, face and body get the attention it deserves, as high standards is one of the main focuses for Angela, the New Zealand owner of the beauty salon located in the heart of Kuta. 

With years of experience having owned a beauty salon in Australia, the entrepreneur saw an opportunity to bring high standard services to the island. With an emphasis on the quality of the products used and the hiring of only experienced hairdressers, Westerners and Indonesians, Angela has brought the Kuta haircare to another level! 

Salty's stylists collectively possess over 40 years of experience, having worked in prestigious salons in Bali and Jakarta. With a deep understanding of Western hair types, there is no need to fear getting your short haircut or a blonde balayage you have always wanted. All treatments are provided with care, using overseas products, that tend to be less harsh for the hair. When it comes to hair treatments, the salon is the only one of it’s standard in Lombok, drawing customers from all over the island to Kuta and even from as far as Sumbawa.

These international standards also apply to the large range of beauty treatments offered at Salty. Being the core of Angela’s background, the salon offers a variety of beauty treatments, from body waxing to lash and brow care, as well as dermaplaning, detox facials, and body massages. 

Even though supply issues can be challenging when it comes to providing internationally imported products, the use of the best skincare brands remains Angela’s priority - sterilization and cleanliness are strictly maintained. All the beauty technicians have been trained by the owner herself and are now under the supervision of the Singapore-instructed manager, who ensures that customers receive the best care. Recurrent training is certainly part of the salon’s beauty routine to constantly improve the quality of services. 

With their devotion to excellence and the tourism boom on the island, it is no surprise the salon has had to relocate to a bigger shop. The new space is divided into two floors, the first one reserved for hair and nail care, while the second one serves as a quiet spa zone, ideal for massages, facials and waxing. The minimalist decor provides a ‘retreat for the mind’ in this chaotic town, while large windows allow the sun to fill the salon with light and warmth.

For the last five years, Salty has set an important benchmark for beauty services in Kuta and beyond. The increase in people moving to Lombok gives hope to the entrepreneur that more qualified technicians or even beauty schools will emerge in the area, establishing Lombok as a potential competitor to it’s neighboring island, Bali, as a hub for the beauty industry. 

Whether your hair needs a little extra care or you're looking for some relaxing 'me-time', rest assured you'll be in good hands—and you might just leave with salty tears of joy.
