For the second year in a row, Calm Beauty Co in Armidale has been named Best Beautician in Best in the New England. The back-to-back win is a huge achievement for the boutique beauty studio, which continues to impress clients with its expert treatments, calm atmosphere, and consistent care.
Owner and founder Alissa Moloney has created a warm, welcoming space at 91 MacDonald Drive, offering a wide range of services including advanced laser hair removal, skin treatments, brow and lash styling, waxing, tinting, and spray tanning. Her focus is on results-driven beauty treatments that don’t compromise on affordability or experience—and local clients clearly agree.
Voters again turned out in large numbers to show their appreciation for the business, solidifying Calm Beauty Co’s reputation as the go-to destination for personalised, professional beauty therapy in the region.
The comments were as glowing as Ms Moloney’s client’s skin.
Angela said, “Calm Beauty Co is the heart of self-care in New England. With expert service, premium products, and a calming atmosphere, every visit leaves clients feeling refreshed, confident, and cared for. Its beauty done with heart.”
And Chloe said, “The sweetest, most talented pair of women you could ever have to do your beauty services. I always walk out feeling 1000x better then when I walked in. They make you feel so comforted and so looked after.”
Ms Moloney’s commitment to ongoing education and training is reflected in the studio’s use of advanced technology and high-performance skincare products, such as the Australian-owned cosmeceutical brand Skinstitut.
One of the reasons Calm Beauty Co stands out is its clear focus on accessibility. While the treatments offered are of a premium standard, Ms Moloney has made it a priority to ensure clients from all walks of life feel they can access quality beauty services without a hefty price tag. Many loyal clients mention this balance of value and professionalism in glowing reviews, noting the consistent quality and attention to detail in every appointment.
Ms Moloney expressed deep gratitude for the support of her clients and the broader community following the award announcement.
In a Facebook post celebrating her win, Ms Moloney said, “We are incredibly honoured to be named Best Beautician in New England for the second year in a row.”
“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to our amazing clients, our supportive community, and our hardworking team. Your trust, loyalty, and love make everything we do possible.”
“Thank you to everyone who supports Calm Beauty Co — whether you visit us regularly, send your friends our way, or simply cheer us on. You’ve helped us create something truly special, and we couldn’t do it without you.”
“This recognition means the world to us, and we promise to continue creating a space where you all feel welcome, comfortable and loved.”
Winning Best Beautician in the New England two years in a row is no small feat. It reflects not only skill and service, but trust—and Calm Beauty Co has clearly earned it. With a growing client base and continued praise, the future looks bright for this award-winning Armidale beauty studio.
