About Us

About Us — Siva Beauty Body Soul

Welcome to Siva Beauty Body Soul — an independently owned and operated boutique beauty salon born from passion, experience and a genuine love of helping people feel and look their best. Established in 1998, our salon was created with a simple yet heartfelt purpose: to offer beauty services that nourish the body, calm the mind and restore the soul.

Our Story and Heart

I’m Kate, and beauty isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. With more than 30 years in the beauty industry, I’ve combined traditional, old-school professionalism with modern techniques to create a space that’s welcoming, relaxed and built around you.

From the moment you step into our salon in Bowral (and now also serving clients from Shellharbour), we want you to feel looked after, understood and truly refreshed — because self-care should be restorative, not rushed.

The Meaning Behind the Name

The name Siva carries deep personal meaning for us. It was inspired by the success and legacy of Kate’s grandfather, who owned and operated Avis Rent a Car in Australia and helped grow the business into a true household name. His dedication, integrity and strong work ethic left a lasting impression on our family and continue to shape the way we run our salon today.

He believed that real success comes from looking after people properly — with consistency, care and pride in what you do. That same philosophy lives on at Siva Beauty Body Soul. Every client who walks through our doors is treated with genuine attention, respect and warmth, because building trust and long-term relationships matters more to us than quick transactions.

For us, the name Siva represents family values, resilience, and heartfelt service. It’s a reminder that behind every great business is a commitment to community, quality and people first — something we strive to honour every single day in both our Bowral and Shellharbour salons.

Who We Are

We’re a passionate team of therapists and stylists who love all avenues of beauty and wellbeing. We specialise in a wide range of services including skin treatments, hands and feet care, brow and lash services, body treatments, waxing and makeup — all delivered with skill, care and a personal connection.

Whether it’s everyday pampering or preparing for a big event like a wedding or school formal, we tailor every treatment to suit your needs — because one-size-fits-all beauty just isn’t our style.

Our Approach to Beauty — Inside and Out

We truly believe beauty shouldn’t cost the earth. That’s why we choose to work with Australian-made, sustainable, low-tox and cruelty-free products wherever possible. Our salon is proud to support environmental practices that give back, including working with Sustainable Salons initiatives to reduce waste and operate as responsibly as we can.

Being independent gives us the flexibility to carefully curate brands, products and treatments that align with our values, our community and the environment. And because we genuinely love what we do, every service is delivered with expertise, warmth and integrity.

Your Experience With Us

At Siva Beauty Body Soul, we’re not just here to do beauty — we’re here to share it. We build relationships, listen to your goals, and design personalised treatments that leave you feeling confident, calm and radiant long after you’ve left the salon.

From the Southern Highlands to Wollongong, we’re honoured to be part of your beauty journey — helping you look amazing and feel even better.
