Summer Sun Ready – Your Summer Checklist

by

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

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.

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 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.

Woman Beauty Nelson guide to Waxing

by

Spring is here, so it’s time to shed your layers… And that includes any extra fuzz that may have formed over the winter months! In this week’s blog article we’re bringing you the Woman Beauty Nelson guide to waxing!

waxing nelson

Why should you wax?

  • Your body hair naturally grows in three phases, to get the best removal results, you need to catch the hair in the anagen (initial) growth phase, every time. So establishing a good wax routine is essential.
  • With consistent waxing, you could find that any regrowth is finer and slower.
  • Waxing has many benefits over shaving for hair removal. Because your hair is pulled from the roots the effects of waxing last longer than shaving. You are also less likely to get nicks, cuts and rashes if you choose to wax over shaving.

Where can you wax?

  • We can wax you from underarm to lower leg. Check out our price list HERE.

Before your wax appointment…

  • Make sure your skin is clean and free from moisturisers and lotions before your waxing appointment.
  • If you are particularly sensitive or having your first wax; you could take Panadol or Nurofen up to an hour before your appointment to minimise any discomfort.
  • Dress in loose clothes for your waxing appointment at Woman Beauty in Nelson.

After your wax appointment…

  • Your skin will need to calm after your appointment. We stock the Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range that can help to soothe, nourish and replenish skin; ask us about it at your appointment.
  • Avoid all other lotions, perfumes, antiperspirants and colognes until your skin has calmed.
  • Keep your loose clothes on after waxing until your skin has calmed. Tights, pants and jeans can irritate the skin or cause ingrown hairs.
  • If you’re showering or bathing after your appointment, make sure you use warm, not hot water.
  • Don’t hit the gym straight after your waxing appointment. Working up a sweat can cause irritation and a rash.

Does Woman Beauty Nelson offer alternatives to waxing for hair removal?

  • Yes, we can offer electrolysis. A consultation is required before treatment. Your appointment time and costs may vary depending on the area that is going to be treated.
  • We also offer ELOS IPL Permanent Hair Reduction, book in for your free consultation, if you would like to explore this option.

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!

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!
