Nelson Nail Treatments – Because autumn is tough on hands

April 23, 2025 by w b

As we head into the cooler months, it’s time to think about your hands. While you’re layering up in merino and sipping on spiced chai, your hands are quietly bearing the brunt of the season. Cooler air, sudden temperature changes, and indoor heating contribute to dry skin, brittle nails, and neglected cuticles. However, our Nelson nail treatments are on hand (see what we did there?) to help you fight back.

Whether you’re after a quick fix or a little luxury, we’ve got a treatment to match your mood, schedule and budget!

Nelson Nail Treatments – Because autumn is tough on hands

The Mini Manicure: Your 30-Minute Autumn Reset

Think of this as your express rescue mission. In just half an hour, we’ll tidy up those cuticles, shape your nails, and give them a nourishing buff. Choose your polish colour and walk out looking perfectly put-together. The Mini Manicure is an excellent option if you’re short on time but know your hands could use a little TLC. Buy yours HERE.

The Pure Fiji Manicure: An Autumn Escape for Your Hands

For something more indulgent, our Pure Fiji Manicure is your autumn cocoon. It begins with a warm milk soak and a tropical sugar scrub to exfoliate away dry skin gently. Then, there’s the hand and forearm massage. We’ll care for those cuticles, then shape and polish your nails so you float out the door with hands that feel brand new. This one is great for moisturising magic. Buy yours HERE.

The Pure Fiji Deluxe Manicure: Let’s Warm Things Up

This one is the full works — everything you’d expect from the Pure Fiji Manicure, plus a deeply restorative paraffin wax treatment. If your hands are particularly dry or your joints are feeling the seasonal stiffness (we see you, early arthritis), this warming, therapeutic treatment is a game changer. The heat boosts circulation, eases muscle tension and locks in hydration like nothing else. It’s a spa retreat for your hands and exactly what autumn ordered.

Nail Colour Inspiration for Autumn

Let’s not forget the finishing touch. Autumn is the perfect excuse to dive into deeper tones and richer shades. Think terracotta, plum, chocolate, and rich red. Or, if you prefer a classic neutral or French tip, we can do that, too. Whether you opt for something bold or barely there, we’ll help you find a shade that suits your style and the season.

Book your Nelson Nail Treatment

Autumn may not be kind to your hands, but we are. Whether you’re popping in for a quick polish or treating yourself to the full deluxe experience, we’ve designed all our manicure treatments to soothe, nourish, and restore.

Summer Pedicures in Nelson: Health and Beauty for Your Feet:

December 11, 2024 by w b

There’s no doubt that high summer in beautiful Nelson means more time in sandals and bare feet. Thankfully, we are proud to provide pedicures in Nelson. We’ll help keep your feet healthy and beautiful so you can enjoy the season!

Our central Nelson Day Spa is the perfect place to achieve summer-ready feet!

Summer Pedicures in Nelson:

Dry, cracked heels are commonplace as the season progresses. Jandals and barefoot beach days directly contribute to tired-looking, unhealthy feet, so you should consider regular summer pedicures.

Healthy Heels & Toes!

Summer pedicures keep your feet healthy:

Exfoliation will help to remove dead skin cells, preventing cracked heels.
Foot soaks and massages improve your circulation and reduce swelling from summer heat.
The moisturising element will restore hydration lost due to dry air and sun exposure.
Maintaining nail health will help prevent fungal infections common in warm weather.

Polished Perfection:

But pedicures will also make your feet look great! Polished toenails and smooth feet will give you all the confidence you need to step into sandals.

Regular pedicures are essential to prevent the discolouration or brittleness sometimes associated with prolonged polish wear. We use only the best nail polishes for your feet at Woman Beauty!

Treatments for your Toes:

Our sensational seasonal special, “Ready, Set, Glow”, is the perfect way to step into summer. It combines a Shellac manicure and pedicure with a Sunescape full-body tan for a complete summer glow. Buy yours HERE.

And if you’re looking for a little indulgence, our longstanding favourite, “Soul to Sole”, is just the ticket! This luxurious treatment pampers feet with a soak, exfoliation, and masque, combined with a neck and shoulder massage and a full leg and foot massage, perfect for summer self-care. Buy yours HERE.

Maintain Your Summer Pedicure – Three At-Home Tips:

Remember to apply SPF to the tops of your feet when going barefoot or wearing sandals and slides.
Stock up on Pure Fiji’s Coconut Sugar Scrub and Hydrating Body Lotion in your favourite infusion to treat your feet between pedis.

Apply moisturiser overnight to keep your heels and toes soft and smooth all summer long.

Spring Beauty Maintenance Must-Haves

October 20, 2021 by w b

We’re now well into spring, and with the Nelson days getting longer and warmer, we thought it was time to take a look at your Spring Beauty Maintenance routine. Read on to discover all the treatments you need to book now!

Spring Beauty Maintenance Must-Haves:

Time to bare:

The time has come to reach to the back of your closet for skirts, shorts and crop pants. But that doesn’t mean reaching for the razor too. Sure, you’ll want to ensure your legs are fuzz-free, but there’s a better way of doing this… We know that it’s common practice to shave your legs at home, but it becomes an all too frequent event. Can you really be bothered to shave in the shower every two-three days? If you would like longer-lasting results, a leg wax is by far the best choice. A professional wax treatment at our Nelson Spa will generally mean smooth legs for two to three weeks. And if you want permanent hair removal, talk to us about IPL treatment.

Get your glow on:

So, your pins are all perfectly smooth, but you’re still not quite ready to go bare-legged. If your limbs are looking a little pale, why not treat yourself to a Sunescape spray tan? It’s guaranteed to give you a feel-good boost!

Dive into spring feet-first:

It’s time to say goodbye to your winter boots and reach for your jandals and sandals. Your feet have probably been cooped up in their winter layers for a few months. So why not give them a little TLC with our popular Soul to Sole. It’s the ultimate treat for feet.

Don’t forget to book regular appointments to keep your toes in tip-top shape. We have a fantastic range of shellac or standard polish in lovely spring and summer hues!

To help you prepare for the new season, we’re excited to launch our seasonal giveaway competition. We’re giving away a Mini Mani/Mini Pedi Combo and a Sunescape Self-Tanning Kit to one lucky winner. It could be you… Enter HERE!

If you need to book your spring beauty maintenance appointments at our Nelson spa, contact us here or submit a booking request online.

Looking for a Nelson nail salon?

February 10, 2021 by w b

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? 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.

Get party ready in Nelson

December 12, 2018 by w b

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

March 21, 2018 by w b

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!

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

December 12, 2017 by w b

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!

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!
