How to make a manicure last longer!

by

So, you’ve invested in your mani and left our Nelson Day Spa looking fabulous and feeling great… Everybody does 😉! We want to help you keep that feel-good factor. So, in this week’s blog article, we’re sharing a few tips on how to make a manicure last longer. Read on for all the details.

How to make a manicure last longer!

How to make a manicure last longer – Four simple tips to help:

Avoid the dishes:

If you think you can convince your partner or flatmates to do the dishes for the next two weeks, excellent, all kudos to you! But we get it if you can’t; just invest in some rubber gloves for when it’s your turn to do the household chores.

Reach for the right tools:

Whether you’re trying to open a package or remove a sticky label, it’s generally easy to find a tool that will help you complete your task. But if you choose to use your nails, it’s a surefire way of saying bye-bye to your beautiful polish.

Choose hand wash over hand sanitiser:

We know you’re all trying to be careful in COVID times, and we commend you for that. But, if you can choose between washing your hands with soap and water and applying a hand sanitising gel, always try to opt for the first! It’s much kinder to your mani.

Invest in Shellac:

Choose regular polish, and you can expect your manicure to last around a week. But for an extra $25, you can add shellac polish to any of our treatments. There is a common misconception that shellac is the same as gel nail polish; it’s not. Shellac is a mix of gel (for added durability) and regular nail polish. Shellac doesn’t look as thick or feel as hard as gel polish. With the correct aftercare, you can expect your shellac manicure to last around fourteen days. We think you’ll agree that it’s well worth an extra $25!

If you’re ready to invest in a manicure, check out our range of treatment options HERE. And don’t forget you can still enter our competition for a chance to WIN a Mini Mani/Mini Pedi Combo and a Sunescape Self-Tanning Kit. Enter HERE.

 

Spring Beauty Maintenance Must-Haves

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!

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.

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.

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!

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). Buy or gift your Spa Manicure HERE.

 

Date night in Nelson? How to prep like a superstar!

by

Whether you’re meeting a blind date, an old flame, or enjoying a date night with your partner of many years… There’s something about getting ready for a romantic encounter that sets the heart aflutter in anticipation of the evening ahead. At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we’re here to help you look and feel your best.

Date Night Nelson

Here are 5 date night beauty tips.

  • Be prepared to hold hands – That means making time for a mani!
  • Get the glow – Don’t let dry, flaky skin get in the way of love… As we head into the cooler Nelson months, the 02 or anti-aging trio can help combat seasonal skin changes. The infusion of the rejuvenating serum, with the help of oxygen, will increase the levels of hydration in your skin. Book your facial a few days before date night and your skin will look silky soft, dewy and youthful!
  • Fight the fuzz – As we head into the winter months and you start to hide under layers it can be tempting to let go of your regular maintenance, but date night is just around the corner, and if things heat up you’ll want to be fuzz free! Don’t be tempted to reach for the razor, you could end up with a rash and redness where you don’t want it! Check out this article from the archives with eight tips to maximise the effectiveness of your waxing treatment.
  • Scrub up – Our full body exfoliation washed away with Vichy jets followed up with a spray tan will leave you with a very sunny complexion and a mood to match.
  • Smouldering, smoky eyes – Mesmerise your date over the candlelit table! We can help you make those peepers pop. An eyelash and eyebrow tint and tidy is a great way to start but talk to us about the fabulous Jane Iredale mineral makeup range.

Now you just need to book your favourite Nelson restaurant!
