Self-Care's take
The Hive Beauty is Lucy's laneway unisex skin clinic on Clarendon for consult-led facials, peels, Healite and skin needling. Face needling is listed at 45 minutes and 345 dollars, with prior therapist approval and a three-treatment package. Official Tuesday is Mel only 9am-5pm, and Monday and Sunday are not listed as open. Named Bookwell disagrees on Tuesday and Thursday, so use the official grid. Parking notes point to Aldi, Coles and South Melbourne Market for longer stays, plus ticketed parks on Market, York and Coventry. This is not Hair By Malarie Cox in St Kilda. Book here if you want a results clinic rather than a spa facial, and you already have a therapist green light for needling. Ask how they assess suitability. Needling stays consult-led.
Directory facts only. This is not medical advice. Ask the clinic how they assess suitability.
More in South MelbourneTreatments
Facials here are results-clinic hours, including Healite language on the floor, not a mill spa ritual. Ask what the facial is for. Body Freedom and endota are the destination spa alternatives on the same street. Healite is a device hour, not a scented cloth. Ask whether you want it in the facial or as the point of the visit.
$$Peels are consult-led beside needling. Ask how they assess skin and whether a peel belongs before or after a needling course. This page is directory facts, not a protocol. A peel the week of a wedding is a question for the therapist, not for a directory. Say the date.
$$Face needling is listed at 45 minutes and 345 dollars, prior therapist approval, with a three-treatment package. Ask how they assess suitability. Aesthera at 201 lists Dermapen as a different door. Do not invent credentials from a directory menu. The three-treatment package is a course. Do not book one 345 dollar face and expect a series to appear by magic.
$$Brow tint sits as a beauty add-on on a skin-clinic floor. Ask whether you are combining it with a facial so the slot is timed. J-Beauty on City Road is the tattoo and lash destination alternative. Tint on a needling week can be a sequencing question. Ask before you stack.

Monday and Sunday are not listed as open. Plan parking at Market, Aldi or Coles if you need more than two hours. Saturday closes 2pm. If that is your only day, you are booking a morning, not a late wandering facial. Say The Hive Beauty at 222a Clarendon Street when you book, not a neighbouring pin.
The street
222a Clarendon Street
South Melbourne VIC 3205
222a Clarendon is a laneway door, not the mill at 392 and not Aesthera at 201. Parking notes point to Aldi, Coles and South Melbourne Market for longer stays, plus ticketed parks on Market, York and Coventry, and occasional 1-2 hour spots on Clarendon. This is not Hair By Malarie Cox in St Kilda. Come for Lucy's skin clinic. Do not come because a hair card reused a similar inner-south story. Laneway 222a is easy to overshoot if you are staring at 222 without the a. Slow down on that block.
