Spa Treatments for Men @ Woman in Nelson

by

If women deserve to relax, so too do men! Father’s Day is just around the corner, and the third Friday in August is annually recognised as Men’s Grooming Day. So, with that in mind, we thought we should write this article with the fellas in mind. At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we offer several packages and spa treatments for men.

spa treatments for men nelson

Here are four tips for men who might be unfamiliar with Spa Treatments:

Tell us if you’re a newbie:

If it’s your first time visiting us for a spa treatment, we want to know. That way, we can answer any questions for you, and offer a more in-depth description of the treatment you’re about to have, and the benefits you can expect to see. We know that some men initially feel uncomfortable with the touchy-feely aspects of some of our spa treatments. Once you’ve had a chat to us, we believe that you will feel assured that we are all highly-trained, professional therapists. We will always respect your privacy and personal space.

Get the most from your facial:

If you have booked a facial with us, try not to shave on the day of your treatment. That said, you don’t want days of growth either. You want your skin to soak up all the benefits of the professional products we apply during your facial. Ideally, we recommend that you shave on the evening before your facial.

Don’t rule out a Pedi:

A Pedi isn’t all about the polish! Your feet take between 8,000 and 10,000 steps a day, and they deserve to be rewarded for that work. 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! While we’re talking extremities, don’t forget to take care of your hands too. Our ‘No Fuss’ manicure will leave you looking groomed and professional.

Ladies, if you know any men who deserve a spa treatment then stay tuned, because our Woman Beauty Nelson, Father’s Day Grab-A-Treat goes on sale towards the end of the month. Plus for an extra $50 you can treat yourself too!

If you’re not on our mailing list scroll down and sign up now, that way we can send you an alert when the treat goes on sale!

Massage-Woman Beauty Nelson-5 Health Benefits

by

This week’s blog is a guest post from Sarah Jones. After trying out numerous massage and relaxation techniques, Sarah finally found the ideal place to share her experience and knowledge. On Relax Everyday, she writes about relaxation, meditation, and other calming techniques for a healthier disposition. Today she’s writing for Woman Beauty in Nelson about the health benefits of massage.

massage health benefits nelson

 

The team at Woman Beauty take your relaxation very seriously! But if you think that massage is just about relaxation then think again, because massage therapy has many health benefits, read on to discover how it can help your overall well-being.

Massages Help Fight Illness

Massages have been shown to help boost immune power.  People leave a massage feeling relaxed and invigorated, and the feeling helps to boost immune system properties reducing inflammation and building up a resistance to sickness.  A lighter-pressure massage is most effective for increasing immune system powers, as studies have shown that it increases the number of lymphocytes, white blood cells, found in the immune system.

Soothes the Back

Millions suffer from neck and back pain caused by stationary sitting all day or by injuries.  Massages can often be used in lieu of pain pills.  Applying pressure to your sore back and neck can ease painful symptoms quickly.  Regular massages are encouraged over several weeks for those suffering from chronic neck or back pain.  Try the Woman Beauty Neck, Back and Shoulder Massage to ease your pained muscles.

Sleep Better

Massages help you get restful sleep.  Many people toss and turn or have problems falling and staying asleep.  Massages relax the body and are generally carried out in a calming, soothing atmosphere which also calms the mind.  This is a dynamic combination that will help those who struggle with sleeping soundly to rest easy.  Good rest is needed for our minds and bodies to rejuvenate, and getting a massage once or twice a week will improve sleep quality.

Eases Soreness

The most popular use for a massage is to ease soreness and tension.  Both can be caused by stress, injury, or damage to muscles and tissue.  Exercise often leaves us sore, and massage is a great way to increase blood flow by using pressure on tight or sore areas.  They can be used after workouts for a quicker recovery time, reducing the aches and pains that you might feel after strenuous activity.

Smiles All Around

Massages make you happy!  Some people experience mild discomfort as the masseuse works on their body, applying pressure to the troubled areas.  After the massage is completed, most people feel much better.  Fluid movements return, the pain eases, soreness dissipates, and you feel calmer, healthier, and happier, boosting your overall mood and helping you to feel better both inside and out. Massages have a tendency to leave people happier and relieved, thereby reducing symptoms of depression.

What are you waiting for?  Scheduling a regular massage can help ease not only tension but stress, soreness, and negativity from your mind and body. They benefit your body in numerous ways and are considered a great element to incorporate into your health and fitness routine.

  • Facials for cooler climes – As we head into autumn and winter, you’ll notice changes in your skin caused by cooler temperatures and low humidity, both of which suck the moisture from your skin.

The infusion of the rejuvenating serum, with the help of oxygen, will increase the levels of hydration in your skin. The Omnilux facial is also perfect at this time of year; the warmth of the LED light helps to improve circulation and will speed up cell turnover.

Spray Tan for Spring in Nelson!

by

Hurrah! It’s official spring has arrived in Nelson, that can mean only one thing, it’s time to think about a spray tan.

spray tan nelson

Many of you might have had a spray tan prior to your holidays; after all, nobody wants to be that person by the pool whose limbs scream… We just arrived! But this is far from the only occasion you should consider a delightfully natural faux glow, in fact we’d recommend a more frequent regime to any client… Here’s why:

  • It will make you feel great. There’s nothing like adding a little colour to your life and limbs to make you feel super sexy, you’ll quite literally glow with confidence.
  • It can hide blemishes. It’s time to start shedding your layers. If light scars or mottled skin prevent you from doing this, a spray tan could be the answer.
  • Safety first. Don’t fry! Let us apply!

If you’re a spray tan newbie here are a few tips that will help you get the best from your treatment.

  1. Avoid using lotions prior to your spray tan to ensure the product absorbs more readily into your skin.
  2. Fight the fuzz before your treatment, shaving or waxing afterwards can remove the tan.
  3. Be sure to exfoliate and moisturise the week before your tan, (not the day of). This will help to keep your tan looking good for longer!
  4. Try to book your appointment for later in the day, and don’t plan too much for that evening.
  5. When you come for your appointment where dark, loose fitting clothes. Skinny jeans are a definite no no! And don’t wear your best knickers! We’ll give you some disposable undies for during your treatment.
  6. Follow your therapists advice on when you can shower after your treatment.
  7. Amp up the moisturiser after your spray tan. Ask your therapist about the best products to use to extend your golden glow.

At Woman Beauty in Nelson we offer two treatment options:

Spray Tan $60 – timer 30 mins
A beautiful natural looking tan without harmful chemicals.
Body Scrub & Spray Tan $85 – timer 45 mins
Full body exfoliation washed away with vichy jets then a spray tan – leaves you with a very sunny complexion and a mood to match.

  1. Our Nelson winter is almost over, so we can start to bid farewell to harsh winter weather, and look forward to longer days and warmer weather.

Men’s Facials in Nelson – Reasons to gift your guy a facial!

by

We might be called Woman Beauty but men are very welcome at our Day Spa in Nelson, we have treatments specially tailored for gents, with three different men’s facials for starters.

Facials are definitely not just for women, and we’ve seen an increase in bookings for men’s facials, and with good reason!

If you (or your man) think a facial is just for relaxation think again… Just like servicing a vehicle they’re an essential part of a maintenance routine; only this time we’re saving your skin, because the largest organ in your body deserves a regular engine tune!

Men's Facials in Nelson

Here are 3 great reasons to gift your guy a facial, or gentlemen, if you’re reading this, buy one for yourself.

  • It’s time for an oil change – Men produce more oil than women, it’s all down to higher levels of testosterone. If your skin isn’t cleaned properly or effectively on a regular basis, that oil will clog your pores and can lead to blackheads and break outs.
  • It will streamline your shave – Frequent shaving, especially over pimply skin can cause inflammation and irritation. A facial at Woman Beauty Day Spa in Nelson will deep clean and soothe your skin. This means that future shaving will be less painful and you’ll definitely get a smoother finish.
  • It’s like a workout for your face – A great facial helps to tone your facial muscles. They might not compete with your biceps but killer cheekbones will help you rival Johnny Depp in the gorgeous stakes, your furrowed brow will be smoothed out quicker than Leonardo Di Caprio’s red carpet tuxedo!

These three facials are specifically designed for men’s skin and needs.

Men’s Ultra Power Facial $69 – timer 30 mins
To cleanse, hydrate & brighten the skin.

Men’s Ultra Signature Facial $95 – timer 60 mins
Includes eyebrow tidy, cleanse, exfoliation, steam, massage & mask with finishing products.

Microdermabrasion $120 – timer 50 mins
A highly exfoliating facial treatment leaving the skin looking and feeling smoother and fresher.

Phone us  on 03 548 0030 to book.

Top Tip: We suggest you shave prior to your treatment.
