Luxury Facials

For our luxury facials we use the award winning organic Tropic skincare, helping to create a healthier, greener, more empowered world.

This beautiful, results-driven range of skincare products is 100% naturally derived and is loaded with innovative, fresh tropical organic ingredients, to gently yet effectively improve and maintain your skin.

Whether you are looking to fight blemishes, tackle the signs of ageing, balance out sensitivity or improve a dehydrated, dull, lackluster complexion, there is a facial to suit you.

Together we will discuss your skincare concerns and goals, before I assess your complexion, allowing me to select the best-suited products with which to carry out a professional facial that suits your individual needs, leaving your skin nourished and rejuvenated. At the end of the treatment I will gladly offer advice on how to care for your skin moving forwards and between professional treatments.

For a limited period we are also offering Dermalogica facials - please enquire.

Waxing Treatments

Benefit from this effective and lasting method of hair removal, using traditional warm wax or European hot wax where appropriate. Regular waxing will gradually weaken the hair growth, leaving a smooth finish.

Waxing Aftercare Advice

I follow good safe, hygienic standards to prevent risk of infection. It is therefore vital that you also take care to ensure that the waxed area is hygienically cared for when you leave the salon. Please follow these guidelines to ensure a successful treatment:

• Take extra care of the waxed area, particularly within the first 24 hours.
• Keep the area clean and soothed using recommended products only.
• Avoid sunbathing, sunbed treatments and very hot baths for 48 hours as the waxed area will be sensitive to heat.
• Also avoid swimming during this time.
• Avoid friction from nylon material or tight clothing.
• Avoid using perfumed products.
  
• To minimise risk of infection, always wash your hands prior to applying lotion.

If you experience persistent redness or discomfort, please contact me for advice. If you feel concerned about the treated area in any way it is vital that you contact me immediately.

Your Hands & Feet

It is fair to say that our hands and feet give great insight into how we spend our time and hand and foot treatments can really add the final touch of class to any outfit. These days we are lucky to have so many options that help to beautify these hard working 'tools' of ours.

Jessica Natural Nail Treatments - The Jessica nail care system was founded in 1969 in Beverly Hills by Jessica, manicurist to Hollywood stars. Her belief is that everyone should treat their nails with the same care, respect and attention as we do our skin and hair, having recognised that nails are very much an individual thing and the treatment is not therefore a 'one size fits all' affair. She developed a unique system for manicure and pedicure treatments to nurture the hands and feet, prolonging the health and growth potential of natural nails.

Jessica GELeration Gel Polish Treatment - GELeration is kind to the natural nail. It will provide strength to the nails with a long lasting, high shine polish, which is odour and fume free. GELeration uses the latest GEL technology to customise the treatment according to the condition of the client’s nails each time. A GELeration treatment is pampering and luxurious offering far more than we have sadly grown accustomed in recent years.

Please note that I recommend you return to me for a professional soak off.

Alternatively you may opt for the more pampering experience of a good old-fashioned manicure or pedicure. Both these treatments may be boosted even further by including a hydrating masque and heated mitts or bootees. Cuticle work will be addressed and the skin will be soaked and exfoliated in preparation for a relaxing massage before the application of O.P.I. polish after which you will be given some quite time to relax while the polish dries to 'touch dry' level, in other words sufficiently to be able to put on your flip flops or open toe sandals (in the case of pedicure) and drive home.
