Christmas Presents for Summer 2023

December 5, 2023 by w b

If you haven’t begun, it’s time to start your Christmas shopping. So, in this week’s article, we’re sharing gift inspiration and our favourite Christmas presents for Summer ’23 from our fabulous day spa right here in Nelson. Read on to discover some favourite Christmas treats we know you and your loved ones will love!

Christmas Presents for Summer 2023:

S – is for Secret Santa & Stocking Fillers

We still have some Pure Fiji Christmas Gift Packs available from our Nelson Spa. But be quick because these are selling out fast. Prices start at just $7, so they make great tree gifts, stocking fillers or Secret Santa surprises. They also make the perfect treat for patient teachers, helpful dog walkers, or anybody who has made your life easier this year and deserves a token of appreciation.

T – is for Treating Yourself

We all consider our nearest and dearest at this time of year. From choosing gifts to organising social occasions and ensuring the fridge is stocked for Nelson house guests. So, this year, don’t forget you deserve a little treat, too. You might decide a massage will help you relax before guests descend. Or a facial in January will help your skin bounce back from the excesses of the festive season. Whatever treat you choose, we can help you relax into or out of the Christmas holidays!

O – is for Offers

Have you seen our summer specials for 2023? We’ve curated a selection of treatments to help you (and yours) relax, refresh and prepare for summer and the party season! They make perfect Christmas presents with up to $56 OFF these beautiful treatments.

C – is for Coupling Up

Why not give your best friend a Christmas gift you can enjoy, too? Take a break over the summer with a spa package for two people. You’ll both enjoy your treatment, and afterwards, you’ll also get a chance to catch up over a refreshment in our relax lounge.

The Ultimate Indulgence is one of our favourite packages. Begin with a foot soak and exfoliation, then receive a full body massage. Continue on to enjoy a luxury spa facial and finish off with a warm oil heavenly head massage.

K – is for Kisses Under The Mistletoe

Nothing says Christmas party like a new red lipstick. We love all of Jane Iredale’s ‘Kissable’ colours. Perfect as stocking fillers for daughters or treat-sized gifts for mums, sisters and best friends. Call into the Day Spa to buy yours.

I – is for Impressive Gifts

If you want a gift that means business for your boss, we can help! A Woman Beauty Treatment Voucher is sure to impress. It wouldn’t surprise us if you got a pay rise next year!

N – is for Nurturing

A trip to Woman Beauty in Nelson can nurture in many ways, from relaxation and stress relief to skin and body care. We have a range of spa escapes that will nurture both the body and the mind of your loved ones!

G – is for Glowing

Not in a Rudolph the red-nose reindeer way, but in a healthy and relaxed way! Glowing is how your gift recipient will leave our Day Spa once they’ve enjoyed the treatment you’ve gifted them!

Waxing or Shaving

November 8, 2023 by w b

As summer approaches, it’s time to think about baring those limbs and slipping into your togs! If you haven’t kept up with the fight against fuzz over the winter months, there may be some maintenance to do. As ever, the question on everybody’s lips is, “Waxing or Shaving, which is better?”

Waxing or Shaving

Waxing or Shaving? Which is better?

In our opinion, waxing emerges as the clear winner for many reasons. So, in this article, we’ll explore the benefits of waxing over shaving and why it’s the best choice for achieving smooth, summer-ready skin.

Longer-Lasting Results:

One of the most compelling reasons to choose waxing over shaving for summer is the long-lasting results. Deciding to shave in summer is a bit like mowing the lawns… You’ll be doing it every day! However, with waxing, your hair is pulled from the roots. So, the effects of waxing last longer than shaving. Waxing can keep your skin smooth and hair-free for three to six weeks. Plus, when the hair does grow back, you’ll find that it is softer, leading us very nicely on to benefit number two!

Say Goodbye to Stubble:

Shaving will always come with the downside of stubble. Not only does stubble look unsightly, but it can also be uncomfortable and irritating, especially if your skin suffers from change of season itchiness (yes, that’s a thing!) Waxing, on the other hand, removes hair entirely from the root, leaving your skin silky-smooth with no rough, stubbly regrowth.

Reduces Ingrown Hairs:

Shaving often encourages ingrown hairs. Not only can these be painful and itchy, but they look horrid, too, especially if they become infected. But once again, because our professional therapists remove hairs by the root in a waxing treatment, you can say goodbye to ingrown hairs.

No More Nicks:

We’ve all done it… You’re heading out for the evening, and you nick your ankle with the razor. Queue outfit change or unsightly plaster!

Waxing can Smooth Things Over:

Waxing helps with exfoliation, as it removes dead skin cells along with the hair. So, it’s an ideal choice for hair removal if you’re planning a spray tan. But talk to us about timings so we can be sure your skin has time to calm between treatments.

If you’re new to waxing, check out this article from the archives, which has a handy list of before and after waxing tips to help ensure your appointment goes as smoothly as your legs!

Natural Summer Glow

October 24, 2023 by w b

As we head into the warmer months, it’s time to switch up your makeup look. Say goodbye to your full-coverage foundations, cooler tones, matte finishes and deep lip colours, and make way for a natural summer glow! Read on for our top tips on how to give your complexion a radiant and healthy appearance.

How to Achieve a Natural Summer Glow:

Before you even start to apply your summer makeup, it’s time to prepare your canvas. If you haven’t yet bought one of our Spring Seasonal Special Facials, you have just a few weeks left to secure yours. Choose from the Sothys Seasonal Facial or the Ultraceuticals Azyme. Both of these facials will deliver a much-needed dose of radiance to winter-weary skin, helping you on your way to that wonderful, dewy look that is such an integral part of a natural summer glow.

Now Spring Clean your Makeup Bag:

Bag your Base:

It’s time to say goodbye to your winter full-coverage foundation. Instead, opt for a lightweight tinted moisturizer or BB cream that provides sheer coverage and a subtle glow. These types of product even out your skin tone without feeling heavy. We love Jane Iredale’s Dream Tint® Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15. This calming and soothing base hydrates and provides sheer to medium coverage. But it also helps prevent trans-epidermal water loss.

Choose your Bronzer:

It’s time to add a little shimmer as we head into summer. But when you apply your bronzer, do so only where the sun would naturally tint your skin. (Even though we don’t let that happen and all wear our SPF!) Apply to your forehead and down your nose, a sweep across your cheekbones and don’t forget your neck and decolletage.

Remember, when applying bronzer, less is often more. It’s better to start with a small amount and build up gradually to achieve the desired level of warmth and definition. Additionally, choose a bronzer shade that complements your skin tone. For a natural look, opt for a shade that is only a shade or two darker than your natural skin colour.

Add some Shimmer:

Shimmery eyeshadows, highlighters, and glosses are great for summer, helping to create a luminous, dewy look. Pop in to view our range of Jane Iredale PurePressed® Eye Shadows. Whether you choose a single, triple or palette we’re sure you’ll find a lustrous eyeshadow that glides on and stays on, with just the right amount of sparkle!

Brighten up your Lips:

Summer calls for fresh lip colors. Choose pinks, oranges, and bright reds, to reflect the lively, colorful spirit of the season. Or choose natural nudes for a perfect “I’m not wearing any makeup” look!

If you need more makeup inspiration to help you achieve a natural summer glow, call us to book your spot at our Jane Iredale Makeup Event on Wednesday 1st November, 2023  – From 9:00 a.m.

Can massage help with menopause symptoms?

October 17, 2023 by w b

18th October marks World Menopause Day. There’s no doubt that menopause can be challenging for many women. Fluctuating hormone levels and a reduction in oestrogen can cause various symptoms. So, it won’t surprise you that clients often ask us, “Can massage help with menopause symptoms?” While massage therapy can’t directly treat the underlying hormonal changes that take place during menopause and peri-menopause, it may, indeed, provide relief from some of the symptoms associated with menopause.

A massage treat in Nelson for relaxation day

Can massage help with menopause symptoms?

You can fight the feelings…

Menopause often brings with it increased stress, anxiety and mood swings. Simply stepping through the doors to our beautiful day spa will help you relax. We’re well known for the calming and nurturing environment we offer all our clients.

Then, of course, endorphins (feel-good hormones) are released. As our therapists work their magic, blood flow increases, stimulating the release of serotonin and dopamine. But don’t just take our word for it… Here’s what a recent client had to say when she reviewed us on Facebook.

Pain, pain, go away!

Many women experience muscle aches, joint pain, and headaches during menopause. As Lisa’s review testifies above, massage can help alleviate these pains. A good massage will reduce muscle tension and release tightness in muscles and joints.

Farewell hot flushes:

It’s no secret that things can get a little warm for many women during menopause. But massage can help to calm your nervous system, which, in turn, can promote better body temperature regulation.

Sleep well:

Finally, if you find your sleep pattern has been disturbed, and you’re waking at night, you may find regular massage will aid your return to restfulness.


Have you ever asked yourself, “Can massage help with menopause symptoms?” Why not book some time at Woman and find out for yourself? Please find out more about the massage therapies we offer HERE.

Eyebrow and eyelash treatments – Maintenance between appointments.

September 21, 2023 by w b

At our day spa and salon in Nelson, we offer a variety of eyebrow and eyelash treatments. Whether you want a quick tint and tidy or a more extensive lash lift with a henna brow colour and shape, we have you covered! There’s nothing like stepping out of the salon with newly groomed brows and lush-looking eyelashes. But the question clients often ask us is how do they keep them looking that good between appointments? Well, read on because we will share our top tips in this article.

Eyebrow and eyelash treatments nelson

Eyebrow and eyelash treatments – At-home maintenance between professional appointments

Gentle cleansing:

Use a dedicated and gentle cleanser for your sensitive eye area. We love Ultraceuticals, Ultra Soothing Eye Make-Up Remover, which delicately cleanses and nourishes to remove dirt, makeup, and any residue.

Preparing a perfect canvas:

Well-groomed eyebrows and long eyelashes will frame your eyes and draw attention to them. A well-defined brow and tinted lashes can balance and enhance the proportions of your face. So after your eyebrow and eyelash treatments, we know you’ll step out feeling confident. However, it always helps to prepare your canvas, which is why using a dedicated eye cream for the delicate skin around your eyes is so important.

Look out for our October in-spa promotion. Purchase three Ultraceuticals products and receive your choice of Ultraceuticals Eye Cream as a gift!*

*While stock lasts.

Less tweezing, more brushing:

The odd stray hair might inevitably grow outside your perfectly groomed brows between appointments. But resist the temptation to excessively pluck and tweeze with care. Instead, use a clean brow brush to comb through your brows and keep them in shape.

Fight the fade:

As the tint inevitably starts to fade, we have a couple of Jane Iredale products at our Nelson salon that can be used at home to maintain the fresh salon look we know you love.

First, the Jane Iredale brow gel comes in three shades: brunette, blonde or clear. The brow gel is essentially a mascara product for your brows. So, it will give them a boost of colour while taming stray hairs into place.

Also useful are Jane Iredale’s retractable brow pencils. These come in a range of brunettes and blondes to suit your hair and brow colours. They are great for filling in any sparse brow areas needing extra help. You’ll find them easy to use because they have a crayon tip as opposed to a pencil tip, which can give a harsh line on the brow.

Super serums:

Finally, invest in a serum to condition and nourish your eyebrows and eyelashes. We love Lash Fridays Brow and Lash Growth Serums, the perfect at-home eye treatment between professional treatments. Results from Lash Fridays’ serums typically appear within 3-8 weeks. This will vary from person to person. Some people will see results already after one week, but most people will see results within six weeks.
