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!

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.

Summer Sun Ready – Your Summer Checklist

December 9, 2020 by w b

With Christmas just a couple of weeks away we’re all preparing for the holidays. This year, staycations are very much on the cards. So, you, like us, are probably looking forward to visiting Tahunanui or Kaiteriteri beach. Or maybe you’re heading over the hill to Golden Bay. Wherever you’re spending your holidays, it’s time to get summer sun ready… So, we’re sharing our Woman Beauty Summer Checklist. Read on for all the details…

Summer Sun Ready – Your Summer Checklist:

Treatments:

Time to bare:

You’ve probably started shedding layers of clothing already… But have you reached for your togs yet? If not, now is the time to prepare… Book your waxing appointment now. And if you need more information on how to prepare for your appointment, you might like to check out this article from the archives.

Subtly sun-kissed:

Thankfully, we are all a little more sun safety aware these days. That said, we also all feel a little more confident in our swimwear with bronzed limbs. Thankfully we have a sun-safe solution! A Sunescape spray tan will give you a feel-good boost and get you summer sun ready.

Treat those tootsies:

If your brand-new ‘Havaianas’ are beside your beach bag ready for their first outing, then sport them in style. We offer a range of pedicures to treat your toes. Plus, don’t forget to invest in a shellac add-on for longer-lasting polish. View ‘Nail Treatments’ HERE.

And now for some Essential Products:

Your tote needs more than a good book and water bottle to ensure you’re prepared for a day at the beach and summer sun ready. So, we thought we’d share three essential products you need on your summer checklist.

Sunscreen is an absolute beach bag essential. We recommend the Ultraceuticals SunActive SPF 50+ range. The products in this range contain a powerful antioxidant complex. They also have four hours of water resistance when used as directed.
Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue Body Spray is a fabulous all-rounder. Refresh, revive and replenish skin instantly with this soothing natural spray. Made with dilo, aloe and ngi grass extracts to soothe and hydrate skin for 24 hours. This product will soothe, moisturise and nourish irritated skin affected by sunburn, dehydration, insect bites, rashes or shaving.
Don’t forget to throw in a Jane Iredale Hydration Spray. We have several to choose from. A quick spritz will cool you down when you get hot and bothered. Perfect if you’re stopping at the top of Trafalgar for a cocktail on your way home from the beach!

There’s still time to book your appointment at Woman. Call 03 548 0030, or call in to buy your products.

Pedicures – 3 reasons to treat your feet in Autumn

March 27, 2019 by w b

As we head into Autumn it’s tempting to tuck your toes away for the cooler months without giving them another thought. But before you tuck your open toed sandals at the back of the wardrobe and reach for merino socks and opaque tights stop and reconsider. At Woman Beauty in Nelson we think every season is the right time of year to embrace pedicures.

Pedicures – 3 reasons to treat your feet in Autumn

You’re suffering from jandalitis

Okay, you’ve rumbled us… We just made that word up! The problem, however, is very real. You’ve sent the summer scuffing around in jandals or even worse bare feet and now you’re paying the price. Cracked heels and hard rough skin are often the result of summer footwear, (or lack of). It just doesn’t seem fair to cram your summer weary feet into closed toes until you’ve given them a little TLC. Why not show them some love with a Spa Pedicure. You’ll get a foot soak and sugar scrub, heel and foot buff with the added indulgence of a luxury massage of lower leg and foot, nail tidy and cuticle work finishing with a polish of your choice.

Beach days might come back

What a summer we’ve had! And who says it’s over? There’s always a chance you could be reaching for your beach bag at Easter time, so don’t say goodbye to pedicures just yet. If you get caught on the hop, our Mini Pedicures take just thirty minutes so you can fit one in over your lunch break.

You haven’t visited our new central city spa just yet!

If you haven’t seen our new home then make a date with a girlfriend and come and see us! Or just pop in by yourself treat your feet, they’ve taken between 8,000 and 10,000 steps every day this summer. And very soon you’ll be keeping them cooped up in tights and shoes. Let them run free once more at Woman Beauty in central Nelson.

Your Nelson Spring Beauty Checklist

October 25, 2018 by w b

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…

April 18, 2018 by w b

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.

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

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!

Heading to Nelson beaches? Pack these beauty tips!

January 16, 2018 by w b

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.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
