Treatments

What does my treatment involve and do i need to do anything before or after?



Waxing

Waxing involves removing hair from the roots by applying a strip or stripless wax. The wax has been chosen to minimise irratation and aftercare lotion is antiseptic. Re-growth will be soft, unlike the stubble you get after shaving. You will need to book an appointment ever 4 - 6 weeks depending how quickly your hair grows. ( After the first treatment you will need to return after 3 weeks.)  Hairs that have been shaved may require 3 or more waxes before seeing a perfect result. Waxing can only be preformed on hairs that have grown to 1/4 of an inch or longer (3 weeks growth).
Do's
  • Exfoliate and moisturise the areas to be waxed the evening before your appointment.
  • Exfoliate every other day and moisturise daily to prevent ingrown hairs (you must wait at least 24hrs after waxing before exfoliating).
  • Apply a soothing waxing aftercare lotion if the area is prone to sensitivity.
  • Leave sufficient time between treatments (4-6 weeks).
  • Ask your therapist if you have any worries or queries about waxing.
  • Purchase an after care pack to keep your skin blemish free.
Don't
  • Don't shave inbetween waxing appointments as this will affect the results.
  • Don't apply any products (e.g. moisturiser/deoderant) on the skin for 24hrs after waxing unless they are specifically for waxing aftercare.
  • Don't expose the area to heat, UV rays or the swimming pool for 24hrs after waxing as this will irritate the area.
  • Don't be tempted to wax urself at home as you will not be able to stretch the skin and may end up with burns or bruising.
  • Most of all don't worry its not that painful - contrary to popular belief!!

Eyelash/Eyebrow Tinting

This applies bold colour to lashes/brows and is especially effective on those with light hairs.
Do's
  • Ask to have a patch test, so you can have a tint.
  • Turn up mascara free for a speedier treatment.
  • Have this done before a beach holiday so you can have that made up look and still swim.
Don't
  • Don't worry about brows going too dark, colour can be built up to the level you want.
Manicure and Pedicure

These are treatments that make the nails on the hands and feet look aesthetically pleasing. A file and polish is great for those who maintain their own nails at home and have no cuticle build up. A mini treatment provides cuticle work and nail tidying for those who want to look groomed but don't like to wear polish.
A Luxury treatment provides both cuticle work, polish and a relaxing massage. During the Luxury pedicure hard skin build up is smoothed on the feet through an exfoliation scrub and hand held file (this is not a replacement for a chiropody treatment). Only Professional products are used.
Do's
  • Remove your old polish when it starts to look past its best.
  • Reapply a clear varnish every 2/3 days to prolong the polish.
  • Look after your nails at home by applying cuticle creams/oils.
  • See a chiropodist/podiatrist if you have calloused heels or corns.
  • Wear gloves when cleaning or gardening.
Don't
  • Don't be embarrassed about your nails any longer, book a treatment now.
  • Don't expect to have perfect nails/skin after one treatment if they are in very poor condition to start with, but don't let this put you off, with a bit of care and attention you too can have lovely looking fingers and toes.
  • Don't use your nails as tools.
Spray Tanning

Our quick drying, fast developing tanning product is one of the most natural available and can last up to 10 days if you look after it correctly. The high pressure spray used ensures the treatment is quick and non stickey, you can get dressed straight away. Tell your therapist if you would prefer not to have certain areas tanned.
Do's
  • If its your first time tanning or have sensitive skin, ask for a patch test.
  • Wear dark baggy clothing and flipflops after tanning.
  • Keep the skin moisturised to prolong the tan.
  • Still apply an oil free sun protection because a fake tan will not stop you from burning if exposed to UV rays.
  • Wait the full developing time before rinsing off the guide colour, as this will ensure an even result.
  • Have a practise tan before a special event if you have not had tanning before to ensure you like the result.
  • Use maintainance products recommended by your therapist.
  • Exfoliate gently as the tan begins to fade.
Don't
  • Don't apply anything to the skin for the developing time.
  • Don't plan to do anything wet or energetic before the tan has developed because if you sweat excessively or get your skin wet it will remove the tan.
  • Don't use body washes with high levels of SLS (sodium laureth sulphate) in it as it strips the tan.
Eyebrow Shaping

Please advise your therapist if you have any special requests otherwise she will pluck/wax  to suit your face shape. A Brow and Eyelash tint is recommended to achieve a perfect look.
Do's
  • Let your therapist advise you on how to enhance your brows.
  • Maintain the shape by tweezing any obvious hairs that re-grow.
  • Use make-up to enhance the look of your brows.
  • Ask to have a patch test so you can have tinting.
Don't
  • Don't over pluck. Following the natural shape of the brow is much more flattering.
  • Don't expect miracles, it may take time to grow back missing hairs.
