Your Nelson Spring Beauty Checklist

by

Here at Woman Beauty Nelson, we’re rather fond of a checklist… Checklists help us stay on track so we can provide you with the excellent service we’re known for. But who’d have thought that checklists have their own celebratory day? It’s true! 30th October is official ‘Checklist Day’… So, to celebrate we thought we’d publish your spring beauty checklist.

Your Nelson Spring Beauty Checklist

Face up to the new season

A change of season means it’s time for fresh, clear complexions. Our Advanced Facial Therapies will help you put your best face forward. Our much-loved O2 facial is a firm favourite and provides instant results you can see and feel.

Fight the fuzz

Those layers are coming off. So, if you’ve been leaving it a little longer between wax appointments, now is the time to recommence your regular bookings.

A golden glow

Once you’ve smoothed things out a bit, you’re ready to bare your limbs. Or are you? Why not make an entrance with a golden glow. A Sunescape spray tan will give you a feel-good boost for spring.

Treat those tootsies

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

A pop of colour

Spring is the time to lighten and brighten things up. And that includes your makeup bag. So give it a spring clean and lighten it up by getting rid of all those dried up tubes and palettes. And brighten it up with a pop of colour. The new seasonal range of Jane Iredale mineral makeup is available at Woman Beauty Nelson. And if this spring beauty checklist hasn’t been enough reading, you might want to pop over and read this article for some spring makeup trends.

We can’t wait to help you complete your spring beauty checklist. Call 03 548 0030 for bookings.

Autumn in Nelson – Don’t put an end to pedicures…

by

Autumn has definitely arrived in Nelson, which means that you are probably shelving your sandals and jandals for another year… But that doesn’t mean it’s time to put an end to pedicures.

pedicures nelson

Here are six reasons why you should continue with regular pedicures even though our Nelson winter may be just around the corner.

  • It’s not all about colour – We won’t deny that glorious shades of perfect pink, classic coral and nifty neons always enhance the beauty of your feet. But pedicures are about more than the colour of your toenails. A pedicure will also help to nourish your feet. That’s an important job, no matter what the season. Your feet take between 8,000 and 10,000 steps a day, and from autumn you’ll likely be keeping them cooped up in tights and shoes. So give them a treat, and let them run free at Woman Beauty in Nelson. You’ll breathe a sigh of relief and so will your toes!
  • It’s always the season for stress relief –  A complimentary dose of relaxation comes with every spa pedicure, with the added indulgence of a luxury massage of lower leg and foot.
  • Hosiery is expensive – Unkempt toe nails can play havoc with your tights and socks. Giving up your pedicure as soon as autumn hits Nelson is a false economy. The money you might save on appointments, you will most likely spend in Farmers, and let’s face it… Which is more relaxing?!
  • Keep the nasties at bay – 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!
  • It’s always the right season for a catch up with your girlfriends – The pedicure lounge at Woman Beauty Nelson can accommodate three people at once, it’s the perfect way to spend a weekend morning with your besties, before you head out for lunch.
  • Summer might surprise you – With the extraordinary weather we’ve been having in Nelson this year, we could be back to record temperatures next week, and you could be searching for your sandals once again! Here’s hoping!

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!

Heading to Nelson beaches? Pack these beauty tips!

by

The holidays may be over for some of you, but summer is still here. There will be plenty of days to head to one of the many beautiful Nelson beaches so we thought we’d share some of our top beauty tips to pack in your beach tote.

beauty tips nelson beaches

  1. Fake it first – If your Christmas holiday glow has faded, you might want to top up your tan before you slip into your togs. Our summer seasonal specials continue to run until the end of February, so take advantage of our two for one Sunescape Spray Tanning offer before you head to one of our Nelson beaches. Sunescape Spray Tans are usually, $60 each, buddy up with your bestie and you both get a tan, but you’ll only get charged for one! Buy yours here.
  2. But don’t forget your sunscreen – A fake bake is no protection from the sun’s damaging UV rays. The secret to enjoying our Nelson beaches is to be sun smart, that way you won’t end up with lasting sun damage as a beach souvenir. The Ultraceuticals SunActive range was formulated to provide very high sun protection against one of the harshest climates in the world. Can’t bear to be bare-faced at the beach? Then slip an Ultraceuticals UV Protective Daily Moisturiser SPF 30 Sheer Tint in your tote. This broad spectrum SPF 30 daily moisturiser (free of nanoparticles) offers triple skin protection with a hint of colour. If you want a little more coverage, but still want to keep your beach look natural, come in and talk to us about the Jane Iredale mineral makeup range, our team can offer you makeup advice as well as beauty tips.
  3. Calm yourself – Even the most dedicated slip, slop, slap enthusiast will admit to the odd occasion where they have missed a patch of skin with sunblock. If this happens to you, be sure to keep a handy spray bottle of Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range. This product can help to soothe, nourish and replenish skin.
  4. Plan if you can – Everybody loves an impromptu beach trip, but like a good girl scout always be prepared. Keep your waxing regime up to date, that way you won’t be tempted to reach for the razor because shaving right before you head to the beach is a rash waiting to happen! We also recommend that you don’t go to the beach straight after your waxing appointment, your skin needs to calm, so if you’re a real beach babe, think about making your wax appointments in the evening through the summer months, that way you’ll be able to play during the day!
  5. Make the most of your pedicure – You might love the feeling of sand between your toes, but sadly it can also play havoc with your beautifully painted toes. So, summer is a great time to splurge a little extra on your pedi. Upgrade to a Shellac finish for just $25; it’s definitely worth the investment!

Remember if you need any more beach beauty tips or product advice, call in to see the team at Woman Beauty.

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!

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!
