Sina's Beauty Salon

Sina's Beauty Salon is in the village of Żurrieq in the south of Malta, close to the cliffs and coves of the island's southern coast. It is one of the first beauty service providers on the Maltese Islands and has more than 30 years of experience behind it. For UK visitors staying in the south, or residents who want a specialist treatment rather than a quick high-street appointment, it offers a wide menu. On VisitMalta.co.uk the salon is listed in our spas in Malta directory.

Training and approach

The salon's therapists hold CIBTAC, CIDESCO and BABTAC certification, three well-known international beauty therapy qualifications that are widely recognised in the industry. The salon keeps up with new technology and practices so that treatments meet the changing needs of its clients, and its slogan pairs science with beauty.

Products come from a range of professional skincare houses: RégimA, Ayur Medic, Ecuri, Orsini & Belfatto, Jimont and Yellow Rose. If you have a favourite brand or sensitive skin, ask which line the therapist will use for your session.

Facials

The facial menu is the heart of the salon. Treatments listed include a deep cleansing facial, a peeling, microdermabrasion, micro-needling, an IPL facial, a lifting facial and a custom facial. A custom facial is shaped around your skin rather than following a fixed routine, and it is the usual starting point if you are unsure what you need.

Microdermabrasion is a form of mechanical exfoliation, a peeling uses an exfoliating solution, and micro-needling uses fine needles to stimulate the skin. Each is a specialist technique, so ask the salon what to expect, how long a session takes and how many visits are usual. The salon can advise on which treatment suits your skin.

Hair removal, brows and lashes

Hair removal is offered for men and women and covers waxing, IPL hair removal, laser hair removal and electrolysis. These are different methods: waxing removes hair at the root, IPL and laser use light energy, and electrolysis treats individual hairs.

Eyebrow work is a speciality. The therapists shape and create brows using waxing, tweezing and threading to frame the face, and the menu also lists eyebrow extensions and microblading, a semi-permanent eyebrow technique. For lashes there are lash lift and volume treatments and eyelash extensions.

Semi-permanent make-up and scalp micro-pigmentation

Semi-permanent make-up is available for eyeliner, lip liner and full lip colouring, as well as brows. Scalp micro-pigmentation is also offered; it is a cosmetic technique that applies pigment to the scalp to create the appearance of hair density. A professional make-up artist service completes the menu for events and special occasions.

If you plan to combine treatments with a holiday, allow time for any aftercare and ask the salon about timing. When you are in the area, the Blue Grotto and the Ħaġar Qim temples are close, and our things to do in Malta page has more ideas.

Visiting the salon from the south coast

Żurrieq is a quiet village inland from the southern cliffs, and the salon is on a residential street, so it works well for visitors based in the south who would rather not travel to the resorts in the north. It also suits anyone planning a multi-visit treatment such as hair removal, where several appointments are normally spread over weeks. Ask about timing before you book if you are only on the island for a short stay, and bring a list of any skin conditions, allergies or medicines so the therapist can plan the session safely. If you want to see the sea after your appointment, our best beaches in Malta list has options along the coast.
