FACIALS
We offer a range of facials for all skin types and conditions.
When visiting our beauty salon, our professional beauty therapists will
analyse your skin condition and advise on which facial treatment is
best for your individual needs.
You will also receive
a relaxing face, neck and shoulder massage
with every facial treatment carried out at the salon. Having a regular
facial is a great way to relax with many clients finding these
treatments to be extremely stress relieving.
A facial treatment helps to keep skin healthy by
- Keeping the outer layer clean, smooth and soft
- Ensuring there is enough moisture in the outer layers
- Feeding living cells and tissues with a healthy supply of blood
- Helping skin resist infection
- Providing protection from external damage from the elements
WAXING
All of the basic waxing treatments along with a selection of specialist waxing treatments are available at the salon.
Prior to the treatment - the therapist will cleanse the area using a
specially formulated pre-cleansing lotion. The therapist will then apply
a high quality cream warm wax and remove the unwanted hair. You should
ensure that the hair to be waxed is a minimum of around 0.75cm - 1cm so
that the wax will take to the hair effectively. This is normally around 2
weeks post-shaving growth for most ladies or 4-6 weeks post waxing.
Once the waxing has been completed, a soothing tea tree lotion is
applied to nourish and calm the skin helping it to recover quickly from
the waxing treatment.
Benefits of salon waxing

• Hairs become sparse over time

REIKI
Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-intrusive, hands on energy healing technique. It can help balance and harmonise mind, body and spirit.
It is a holistic treatment for balancing, healing and harmonising all aspects of a human body, mind and spirit. The Japanese word reiki is translated 'Universal life-force energy'. 'Rei' means 'Universal' and 'Ki' means 'Life force energy'. Everybody has an energy life force running through them, when you become ill or stressed the energy pathways get blocked. Reiki helps to unblock them so that it runs more freely which in effect helps to balance and harmonise body mind and spirit.
During a Reiki session, your therapist will take you through a consultation and explain what happens during a session. The treatment lasts approximately 1 hour. It is advised to relax after the treatment and not to participate in any strenuous exercise.
