Looking for a Nelson nail salon?

by

At Woman, we’ve been at the forefront of Nelson’s beauty services for well over a decade. Long-time regulars will remember visiting our previous premises on Nile St. While many of you will have discovered us since we moved into the CBD, at our home in New Street. Over the time we’ve been in business, other beauty spas have come and gone, and high street nail salons have also made an appearance in the city. But, we’ve always been proud to offer a sanctuary and escape for our clients. So, in this week’s article, we thought we’d share three reasons why you should visit us for your manicure.

Looking for a Nail Salon in Nelson? Visit our day spa for your manicure or pedicure instead.

Looking for a Nail Salon in Nelson? Three reasons to visit us instead:

R is for Relaxation:

Relaxation, it’s what we’re brilliant at! While a manicure may be part of your monthly maintenance, it should still feel like a treat, not a chore. Visit us, and we’ll whisk you away to your private treatment room, and you’ll leave feeling perfectly pampered. During your thirty-minute mini manicure, you’ll feel your troubles melting away. And even a mini-pedicure feels like a tropical getaway as you soak your toes in a Pure Fiji copper bowl.

Expertise is Everything:

Our professional team of therapists are trained to meet exacting international standards; their continual development is closely monitored to be sure that we deliver the very best in service and experience.

They offer so much more than a manicure or pedicure. Our eagle-eyed team have your health and well-being at the heart of everything they do. They have even been known to spot early signs of corns, bunions and fungal infections. We can’t treat them, but we can warn you about them to get them treated!

A Chance to Check Us Out:

At Woman, we offer a whole host of beauty services. From waxing, facials and enhancers, right through to massage and spa packages. If you were heading to the nail salon for your manicure, but have often wondered what it’s like inside our Day Spa, book an appointment with us for Pure Fiji manicure or mini manicure, and you’ll discover why our clients return time and time again.

Post-Lockdown Beauty Treatments

by

At Woman, we love the fact that we can welcome you back to our Nelson Day Spa for your post-lockdown beauty treatments. We have a few new practices in place to keep you safe (find the details here). Many of you have visited us for maintenance treatments over the last two weeks. So, in this post, we thought we’d share some of our more popular post-lockdown beauty treatments to inspire your next visit.

Popular Post-Lockdown Beauty Treatments:

Fighting the Fuzz

During the lockdown, we understand that you might have resorted to the razor. You may even have regrettably delved into the realms of home waxing… It’s a messy affair, isn’t it?! But now we’re back on deck lots of you are recommencing your regular waxing routines. If you’re not, now is the time to consider booking regular maintenance appointments. With consistent waxing, you could find that hair regrowth is both finer and slower. So, eventually, you may even be able to leave it a little longer between appointments.

Happy Hands

Some of you spent lockdown hiding your fingernails out of Zoom shot… So, understandably manicures have been a must-have post-lockdown beauty treatment. We know that elbow-bumping is more popular than shaking hands these days. But that doesn’t mean you should forego the fabulous first impression that well-kept hands can make. For longer-lasting results, don’t forget to book a shellac manicure.

Favourite Facials

Many of you will have been makeup-free over lockdown. While that can have some benefits for your skin, it still has to contend with a seasonal transition as we head into colder months.

If you only manage to fit in a facial a few times a year, then the change of season is the perfect time to squeeze one in. Firstly, it will help prepare your skin for the harsh environmental factors it’s sure to encounter as the temperature changes. Secondly, it’s an excellent opportunity for one of our therapists to review your skin. We can advise you on any products we think will benefit your autumn and winter skincare routine.

Alert Level 2 means that you can connect and socialise with your friends and family again. Don’t let a lack of maintenance keep you hidden away. Visit Woman Beauty Nelson for your post-lockdown beauty treatments.

Get party ready in Nelson

by

The festive season is almost upon us, which means it’s time to get ‘party ready’. At Woman Beauty Day Spa in Nelson we can help you do exactly that!

Five ways to get party ready in Nelson

  • Get your glow on

    Who doesn’t want refreshed, luminous skin for party nights? We know it’s a busy time of year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give your skin a pre-Christmas treat with a facial. The Ultra Power Facial includes a cleanse, peel and mask. It takes just thirty minutes so can be scheduled into your lunchtime. If you can spare a little more time, the Advanced Signature Facial utilises advanced serums, peels and masks to correct skin imperfections. Check out our full range of facials HERE.

  • Brows that WOW and luscious lashes

    Professional brow and lash tinting will add depth and colour to your eyes. Say adios to light, feathery eyebrows and spindly eyelashes. Let our professional beauty therapists give you party ready peepers with an Eyelash and Eyebrow Tint and Tidy – book yours here!

  • Prepare for your party frock

    Step into your summer party frock feeling fuzz-free and lightly tanned. For perfectly smooth party legs invest in a full-leg wax. And if you don’t want to wear tights but still want a flawless golden glow a Sunescape spray tan is just the ticket!

  • Meet and greet with a mani

    Make a marvellous first impression when you’re shaking hands with new acquaintances. Again, a mini manicure takes just thirty-minutes so you can squeeze one in to your lunch break. Go for a Shellac finish to be sure your fingers stay flawlessly finished throughout the festive season.

  • Get your glam on

    Parties are the ideal opportunity to step up the glamour a little (or a lot!),  so why not get party ready by updating your make up look? Here at Woman Beauty in Nelson, we are proud to offer you Jane Iredale make up. This high-performing mineral cosmetics range provides effective skincare benefits with modern, wearable colour and a soft-focus, luminous effect that brings your natural beauty to light.

To ensure none of you miss out on appointments before we close for our annual break, we have called in Holly Poirier to help in the lead up to Christmas. Be sure to ask for her when making your appointment if she is the therapist you would like to see. We will be booking appointments right up to 2:00 p.m. on Monday 24th December. Contact us to arrange yours!

Your holiday countdown beauty checklist

by

Easter is quite literally around the corner, and if you’ve booked an Island getaway over the holiday period this post is for you… It’s your holiday countdown beauty checklist!

holiday countdown beauty checklist

Face your Feet – You might not have placed your sandals back in the closet yet, so the chances are your feet may be in fairly good shape… But sometimes wearing jandals and bare feet over the summer months can lead to hard skin and cracked heels… So before you head away treat yourself to a spa pedicure. Be sure to choose a Shellac finish, so your painted toes stay in tip-top condition over your holiday. Soul to Sole, the ultimate treat for feet, is currently one of our Autumn specials, and a great way to relax into holiday mode!

Fight the Fuzz – Check out our range of waxing treatments HERE. If you’re heading to the Islands, we’d recommend a full leg and bikini wax, so you feel perfectly confident in your togs. Don’t be tempted to pull out the razor, as the heat and sand can irritate skin with cuts or nicks. Try to plan your wax appointment at least three days before you head away, as your skin will need to calm. We stock the Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range that can help to soothe, settle, nourish and replenish freshly waxed skin; ask us about it at your appointment.

Holiday Hands – A few days before your holiday is also a great time to give your hands a holiday makeover. A mini manicure takes just thirty-minutes so you can book one in your lunch break. Again, go for a Shellac finish to be sure your fingers stay flawlessly finished throughout your break.

Get your Glow On – Get a head start on beach duties! A Sunescape spray tan will give you a feel-good boost as you head into holiday mode. Your spray tan should always be the last box you tick on your holiday countdown beauty checklist. You might want to think about going a shade darker pre-holiday, as the darker the tan, the longer it lasts. Don’t forget to stock up on your sun creams and lotions; we have a fabulous range at Woman.

Call us today, and we’ll book your appointments for your holiday countdown beauty checklist!

Get Summer Holiday Ready in Nelson

by

Christmas is just around the corner, and the sun is shining, that can mean only one thing… It’s time to get summer holiday ready; and at Woman Beauty Day Spa in Nelson, we’re here to help you do exactly that!

summer holiday ready nelson

Before you head to the beach, check out our simple three-step guide to ensure that you are summer holiday ready!

  • As you reach for your togs, it’s also time to tame the fuzz – Check out our range of waxing treatments HERE. We recommend a full leg and bikini wax to get you started, or add an underarm too! Ditch the razor, as the heat and sand can irritate skin with cuts or nicks. Try to plan your wax appointment, so that you’re not heading to the beach straight afterward, as your skin will need to calm. We stock the Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range that can help to soothe, settle, nourish and replenish freshly waxed skin; ask us about it at your appointment.
  • Get your golden glow on with fake bake – It’s common to feel a little exposed the first time you change into your togs each year, especially if your limbs haven’t seen the light of day in a while; but a spray tan can do wonders for the confidence. That’s why we’ve added Sunescape Spray Tanning to our seasonal specials this quarter. Usually, $60 each, buddy up with your bestie and you both get a tan, but you’ll only be charged for one! These Sunescape natural colours come in light, medium or dark, so choose the one that suits you best to get summer holiday ready in one appointment!
  • Slip into your jandals – Treat your toes to some Shellac love. Its long-lasting properties are perfect for the holidays. Shellac can be added to any pedi for just $25 extra. Or treat your fingers too, check out our summer specials for the Mini Mani/Pedi Combo with Shellac. Buy yours HERE.

However, you’re planning to spend your Nelson summer holidays we can help you prepare!

Spring beauty tips – Nelson shines!

by

Spring has arrived in Nelson, and that can mean just one thing it’s time for some spring beauty tips. If you’ve been hibernating over the winter months, it’s time to shed those layers.

spring beauty tips nelson

Here are 5 spring beauty tips to help you get ready to bare your limbs!

  • Fight the fuzz – If you’ve let things grow a little whilst you’ve been shrowded in your winter warmers, then it’s time to get things waxed. But there’s good news! Because during winter, your skin won’t have been exposed to harsh outside factors like sun and chlorine, any redness and/or sensitivity will be minimised, and your skin will recover more quickly from any hair removal treatment. Check out the waxing menu here.
  • Get a glow – Everybody feels better with a bit of bronze… So why not get a fake tan as you start to bare your limbs. At Woman Beauty in Nelson we offer two treatment options. Spray Tan – A beautiful natural looking tan without harmful chemicals. Or Body Scrub & Spray Tan – A full body exfoliation washed away with vichy jets then a spray tan – leaves you with a very sunny complexion and a mood to match. Find both here.
  • Put your feet first – A perfect pedi and pretty toes should be on the agenda as you reach to the back of the closet for your summer sandals!
  • Switch up your skin routine – Winter can be harsh on your skin. So start the repair of your skin with a facial. There are lots to choose from here, but if you need help selecting the right one, just give us a call or pop in to reception for some advice. Once you’ve given your skin a new lease of life with your chosen facial, keep up the good work with the right products. At Woman Beauty Nelson, we offer a select range of effective, quality skin care brands and products. Take advantage of our free skin care analysis and purchase products that best suit your skin type.
  • Choose a spring palette – Choose a bright new lippy for a bright new season. We’re proud to be the Nelson stockist of the beautiful range of Jane Iredale mineral makeup. Talk to Demi our Makeup Artist about the perfect shade for you!

Secrets to beautiful hands in Nelson

by

If you’ve spent time outside in this Nelson winter, whether that be gardening, walking, taking part in sports or even watching from the sidelines, there’s a chance it could have taken its toll on your hands. And whilst it’s easy to be vigilant about your facial skincare regime, hands are often forgotten, making them susceptible to the first signs of ageing.

beautiful hands nelson

If you’ve noticed that your mitts are giving the game away, it’s time to start treating them with a little TLC, here are our secrets to beautiful hands.

  • Cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise – Not just for your face! Washing your hands regularly is obviously important, but be like Goldilocks… Not too hot and not too cold, is the way to go! After you have cleansed don’t forget to dry them properly. Damp hands and cool weather, equal chapped skin! Talk to us about the range of Pure Fiji products that can make your hands happy.
  • Feed your fingers – We don’t need to tell you that you are what you eat! Antioxidant-enriched foods are a must to nourish your skin, including the skin on your hands; and to keep them strong and healthy, your nails need protein, calcium, zinc and vitamin B12, to name just a few nutrients. So think, lean meat, fish and dairy with lots of green veg thrown in for good measure.
  • Protect your palms… And the backs of your hands more! – That means wearing gloves for chores (and the great outdoors in winter), ramp up the sunscreen too!
  • Manicures are a must – A manicure will instantly revive your nails and give your cuticles a much needed moisture boost. For beautiful hands, indulge in the Woman Beauty Nelson, Spa Manicure, this includes a warm sugar scrub and milk soak, hand and forearm massage, cuticle and nail file and buff with polish of your choice. $90 (french extra).

Reasons to get a winter pedicure in a Nelson…

by

So you’ve finally packed your jandals away for another year! When the cooler months come to beautiful Nelson, it’s easy to breathe a sigh of relief… It’s time to cover up, which, for some, means an excuse to let the fuzz run free and the tootsies take care of themselves. Not so fast though! Easing up on essential maintenance is a slippery slope into a permanent onesie state of mind; and who knows when date night is going to come knocking? So we thought we’d share three reasons why you need to get a pedicure even though our Nelson winter is just around the corner.

winter pedicure nelson

Reasons to get a winter pedicure:

  • Pedicures are about more than the colour of your toenails – While the summer shades of perfect pink and classic coral do indeed enhance the beauty of your feet, a pedicure helps to nourish your feet. That’s an important job, especially in winter. Your tootsies tread between 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day cooped up in tights and shoes. So give them a treat, and let them come out to play at Woman Beauty in Nelson. You’ll breathe a sigh of relief and so will your toes!
  • Tights are expensive – Does it feel like you’re permanently pulling out your Farmers card to buy new hosiery? You’re not alone! Decent opaques don’t come cheap. So don’t risk tearing or pulling them with unkempt toes. Invest in a mini winter pedicure ($50) once a month, to save you $20 per pair on Levante tights. You get the bonus of relaxing at Woman!
  • Keep the nasties at bay – How often do you inspect your feet? Especially in winter. We understand… Life’s too busy! But our eagle-eyed therapists have been known to spot early signs of corns, bunions and fungal infections. We can’t treat them, but we can warn you about them, so you can get them treated!

Ask any woman the most irritating thing about getting a winter pedicure, and they’ll most likely all reply the same thing… Slipping into jandals post-pedicure so as not to smudge newly painted toes! Well, we have great news, that doesn’t need to be an issue, simply ask for our Shellac Add On when you book your winter pedicure, it’s just $25 extra, and your toes are dry in minutes!
