Lash Lift – FAQs:

How do lash-lifts actually work?

A lash lift is a process where the lashes adhere to a silicone pad. They are carefully laid flat along the curved edge of a silicone pad and stuck in place. This allows for the lashes to be manipulated, flattering the lash length and eye shape. A perming solution is then applied to the lash and allowed to develop. This sets the hair with a beautiful upward curl in the position it has been placed. Once allowed to develop for the recommended time, we then tint the lashes to see the curl’s full effect. No need for mascara!

Can you customise my lash-lift look?

Absolutely! We select the curl’s size based on your lash length, preference, and our own expertise. This means it can be a very subtle, natural look. Or a dramatic difference, particularly if the client’s lashes are naturally very straight.

Does a lash-lift offer immediate results, and how long do these last?

The results are visible immediately after your treatment at our Nelson spa. Results will last for 6-8 weeks.

Is there anything that needs to be avoided immediately after a lash lift?

You cannot get your lashes wet for 48hours post-treatment, the same as any other perm. Following this rule allows the perm to set fully.

How can I enhance the results from this treatment at home?

To get more longevity from the treatment, we highly recommend using a lash growth serum like Revitalash. These work by extending the growth (anagen) phase of your hair growth cycle and allowing your lashes to grow much longer than usual before they do their natural shedding. By prolonging this growth phase, lash turn over is slower, so your lift will be in full effect longer, and when your longer lashes are given the amazing curl a lift provides, you will have the look of extensions without the upkeep!

What are the benefits of a lash-lift over eyelash extensions?

While lash extensions do look beautiful when first applied, they quickly need an infill to keep the desired effect after a week of wear and tear. This can be both time-consuming and budget draining. Many clients also find it stunts their natural lash growth over time and continual applications of extensions. Lash lifts, on the other hand, enhance what you already have by giving curl to your natural lashes, this both provides a much more natural look with the bonus of being far more durable. Lash extensions require you to avoid oil-based cleansers, side and tummy sleeping, rubbing of the eyes, delicate removal of makeup and so on. Apart from the first 48hours where you can not get the lashes wet post lash lift, there is nothing you have to avoid to keep the lashes looking great. It is just business as usual, how amazing is that?!

Hair Removal Treatments @ Woman

by

As we head into the Nelson autumn and winter, we know it’s tempting to delay your regular hair removal treatments. We understand that… Waxing and laser hair removal are not the most pleasurable treatments. And you were going to be wearing jeans and trousers all winter anyway! But, at Woman, we think there are some good reasons to continue with your hair removal maintenance in winter. Read on to discover more.

hair removal treatments in nelson winter

Hair Removal Treatments in Autumn and Winter:

Winter Waxing:

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 throughout winter, you’ll eventually find that we’re removing all the hairs in the first phase of growth every four weeks. So, when spring comes around again, you’ll find regrowth is finer and slower.

It’s easy to get caught out in winter… You’ve had your legs covered for so long you forget there’s a bit of fuzz going on below the knee… Then you get asked to an event and realise you need to slip a skirt and sheer tights on! If that’s the case, please don’t reach for the razor; call us instead to book a wax. Shaving will leave your leg hairs uneven, meaning that they will not grow simultaneously, making it more difficult to achieve a smooth finish that lasts.

IPL in Icy Months:

We can carry out IPL at any time of year. But, the winter months are ideal to begin IPL hair removal treatment. This is because before (and after) any IPL treatment, we’ll ask you to avoid a few things. These include sun exposure, fake tan and chlorinated swimming pools. All things you’re more likely to come into contact with over the summer months.

IPL is a fabulous hair removal solution to prepare you for next spring. We offer a complimentary consultation and patch test. Prices start at $75 per treatment. A series of treatments (every 4 to 8 weeks) is required, depending on the individual. But we’ll tailor a treatment schedule for you at your free consultation.

If you’re ready to schedule your winter maintenance hair removal treatments at our Nelson city spa, contact us here to book you in!

Autumn Facials on Special @ Woman!

by

As temperatures start to cool in Nelson, it’s time to think about how the changing seasons can affect your skin. Crisper air and seasonal breezes can play havoc on your skin. Generally, it will become drier, which can result in redness, sensitivity, and irritation. It’s common for your skin to feel a little lack-lustre at this time of year. That’s why we’ve included three facial treatments in our seasonal specials for Autumn. Read on to discover which autumn facials are on special and why we know you’ll love them!

Autumn Facials on special at Woman, Nelson

Autumn Facials on Special!

Anti-Ageing Trio:

First up is a long-standing favourite, the Anti-Ageing Trio. This facial combines the anti-ageing benefits of a glycolic exfoliation with our red LED light to stimulate collagen and elastin production before finishing off with the 02 facial to visibly plump fine lines and increase luminosity.

Here’s why you’ll love it. Firstly the glycolic exfoliation will help you shed dead skin cells and reveal the newer, brighter layers underneath. The red LED light increases your skin’s natural hydration levels, reducing redness and inflammation while also stimulating collagen. So your face feels firmer. The O2 facial completes the process, nourishing your skin, so you leave with a healthy glow and luminous skin.

Buy yours HERE and save $60.

Ultraceuticals A-Zyme Retinol Peel:

This fast-acting, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment combines proven anti-ageing ingredients Retinol and Bromelain to refresh, hydrate and plump the skin. We recommend a course of this treatment for the best results.

Why we know you’ll love it… If you’re regretting sun exposure and noticing the effect of too many Nelson summer beach days on your skin, this treatment will help combat the effects of UV damage. Immediately after treatment, your skin will feel plump, dewy and hydrated. While you’ll definitely see a difference in your skin after a single treatment, we recommend a course for longer-lasting and maximum results.

Buy yours HERE and save $40.

Sothys New Cryo Eye & Neck Treatment

Okay, not so much an autumn facial but still a seasonal special we know you’ll fall in love with because of its targeted results. The eye and neck area are often areas of concern for our clients post 35 years. And this treatment is the answer! It will visibly reduce puffiness and dark under-eye circles, as well as firming the neck and jowls.

Buy yours HERE and save $60.

While we wanted to highlight our autumn facials on special in this article, we also thought it was a perfect opportunity to tell you about the Ultrceuticals RVR Challenge. Real Visible Results in ninety days! After your facial, let us prescribe the best Ultraceuticals home care products to suit your needs. You will receive a FREE Daily protective moisturiser SPF 30 in either Mattifying or Hydrating formulation when you purchase your Ultraceuticals cleanser, serum and (night time) moisturiser. Saving $93 on the RRP! Even if you haven’t booked an autumn facial, you can still take part in the RVR Challenge, call into our Nelson city home for a skin consult, and we’ll find the right products to meet your needs.

Finally, there are just a few spaces left for our Observ Skin Diagnostics event at Woman Beauty, Nelson. Find out more about the event HERE.

Observ Skin Diagnostics Event

by

On 16th March we’ll be holding another Observ Skin Diagnostics event at Woman Beauty, Nelson, in conjunction with our visiting Ultraceuticals expert, Tracy Benporth. If you haven’t attended before we thought we’d use this post to explain how it works and the benefits you’ll see from booking an appointment.

Observ Skin Diagnostics Event with Ultraceuticals:

How the Observ machine works:

Some skin concerns begin in the deep layers of your skin and are difficult to see with the human eye. These issues are often related to sun damage, and they eventually begin to show themselves as you age. The Observ Skin Diagnostics machine can expose these conditions earlier. Meaning you get a head start on resolving any issues. The machine uses a patented skin fluorescence and polarized light illumination technology.

The machine takes images of your skin using different lighting levels, revealing blemishes or underlying skin issues in incredible detail. The whole process is fast, non-invasive and pain-free.

The images reveal a detailed analysis for each different light filter and our visiting Ultraceuticals expert, Tracy Benporth, goes through these with you.

What happens next?

This diagnostic consult allows our Tracy to prescribe the correct products for your skin. We include the cost of a prescribed peel in the price of your appointment. And one of our expert therapists carries out this relaxing treatment resulting in a significant improvement of skin texture, colour and consistency.

Your total appointment time for both diagnosis and treatment is sixty minutes. This consultation costs $95 (saving $150 on the regular price).

Finally, you’ll be able to book a follow-up appointment when our visiting expert returns, to see the improvements to your skin and make any adjustments to your future treatments and skincare.

But there’s more!

At this special Observ Skin Diagnostics event we offer a couple of bonuses with your booking.

  • You receive a complimentary entry into our prize draw for an Ultraceuticals package worth $250.
  • PLUS you can also take advantage of a 15% ‘on the day’ discount on all Ultraceuticals full-sized products.

If you’re ready to book your sixty-minute appointment on 16th March at our Nelson Day Spa, please do get in touch HERE. We do request payment at time of booking to reserve your space.

5 of the Best Valentine’s Day Gifts to Give Yourself!

by

As we swelter in the heat of this beautiful Nelson summer, it’s hard to believe February is just around the corner. And that means that Valentine’s Day is too. Now, we know that not everybody relishes this particular holiday. But you don’t need a significant other to treat you on February 14th… Oh no! In this blog article, we’re sharing five of the best Valentine’s Day Gifts you can give yourself. Read on to find out more.

Nelson valentine's day gifts

 

5 of the Best Valentine’s Day Gifts to Give Yourself:

1: The Gift of Time:

How often do you really manage to spend a day or even just an hour in the day dedicated to yourself? A moment when you feel no responsibilities to any other person or task. If you can’t remember the last time you did this, then February 14th is the perfect day to show yourself some love and attention with the gift of time.

2: The Gift of a Great Experience:

When was the last time you did something new? It’s easy to fall into a routine. We come to know which restaurants never disappoint, which walks have the best views and which activities bring us joy. So, we stick with the tried and tested. But there’s so much more that we might not have discovered. So make Valentine’s Day the date to try something new!

3: The Gift of Relaxation:

While this gift to yourself may sound similar to our #1 Gift (above), we beg to differ. Surrendering to complete relaxation is very different from dedicating an hour or so to yourself. And we should know because at Woman Beauty in Nelson we are masters in the art of relaxation!

4: The Gift of Making Memories:

While we’re grateful that New Zealand’s response to the COVID pandemic has been recognised as one of the world’s best. There’s no doubt that the last twelve months have been different for all of us. With International travel curtailed and overseas family and friends unable to visit, it’s easy to forget the magic of making memories. So, February 14th is a great day to gift yourself a magical memory. Whether it’s lunch with the girls, a picnic at one of your favourite Nelson beaches or a delightful dinner date. Give yourself something to store in your happiness bank!

5: All the above rolled into one!

Now, this is where we come in. Because we have an exceptional Valentine’s Day (or Galentine’s Day) special coming your way. From next week… Keep your eyes on your inbox; you’ll be able to grab an Island Retreat for you and gift one to somebody else too. Both of you will enjoy a tropical foot soak and sugar rub before relaxing with a Lomi Lomi de-stressing back massage. Then finish with a conditioning hair and scalp ritual. That’s 60 minutes of relaxation enjoying a spa experience and making memories with your love or your bestie! Find out all the details HERE, and if you’re not on our mailing list sign up below, so we can let you know when this special treat goes on sale.

Spa Facials and New Year’s Resolutions

by

Happy new year to you all! We hope you had a wonderful Nelson festive season and took some time to relax. Are you ready to step into 2021 and put your best face forward? To help you do exactly that we thought we’d share some new year’s tips to help you achieve glowing skin. Read on because committing to relaxing spa facials in your beauty regime is a new year’s resolution we know you can keep!

Spa Facials in Nelson

Spa Facials and New Year’s Resolutions:

Here is a list of our Woman Beauty Nelson top five tips to help you achieve glowing skin in 2021.

1: Hit the refresh button:

The new year means it’s time to hit refresh! Sometimes simple solutions can have fabulous effects. And that’s certainly true when it comes to drinking water, the ultimate way to refresh your skin. So, set your daily hydration goals to see a marked improvement in your skin.

2: Sort out your skincare:

When was the last time you gave your bathroom cabinet an overhaul? It’s really easy to get into a skincare product rut, using the same brand and solutions year after year. But as your skin changes, which it does from season to season, and as you age… So too should the skincare products you use. At Woman, we are always happy to offer a complimentary skincare analysis to help you select the right products. Skincare products are often a significant investment, so it really is worth taking some advice to ensure you get the solutions you need for your skin type.

3: Pack your summer (and beyond) survival kit:

While some skincare, products should have their permanent place on your bathroom shelf, there are others you should never leave home without. For your on-hand survival kit always invest in a daily SPF. We also never leave home without a Jane Iredale Hydration Spray. And finally, tuck away an Ultra Clear Spot Treatment, which can help clear up blemishes from 2 hours of application and soothe the skin.

4: Find your facial fit:

Facials should be an essential part of your skincare regime. Whether it’s a relaxing Spa Facial, a quick monthly Ultra Express Facial or an advanced facial therapy, talk to our team about the best maintenance facial to help you meet your skin goals for 2021.

5: Stress less:

Stress can affect your whole body, including your hair, nails, and skin. So, commit to a daily activity that helps you stress less! It might be a fabulous Nelson walk to the Centre of New Zealand or along Tahunanui beach, a moment of mindfulness or a stolen twenty-minutes relaxing in your back yard with a cuppa and your favourite book.

To help you put your best face forward in 2021, we’re launching the New Year with a giveaway competition. Would you like to win a Pure Fiji Spa Facial and Goodie Bag? Enter HERE and Good luck!

How to have a Relaxing Christmas…

by

At Woman Beauty in Nelson love to help you relax. In the run-up to Christmas, we’ll be helping many of you prepare for the season. Our space will help you find the space you need before the festivities begin. As most regulars will know, our team takes an annual break over Christmas. After working hard all year, we think everybody deserves to be able to enjoy the holidays with friends and family. But, even though we’ll be closed between Christmas Day and 5th January, we’re still dedicated to your relaxation. So, we thought we’d share three ways to help you have a relaxing Christmas. Read on for our top tips:

relaxing christmas Nelson

How to have a Relaxing Christmas…

Find some space:

This year, more than ever, we can feel truly thankful that in our little piece of paradise, we can spend time with friends and family. Especially when so many people around the world can’t. But, it’s still important to find time for yourself. So, don’t feel guilty about stepping away from the festivities, even if it’s just for half an hour. Take a stroll in the beautiful Nelson sunshine, find a quiet spot in the garden or enjoy the peace and quiet of your bedroom. Finding some calm amongst the Christmas cheer is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

Hold on to your rituals:

Whether you have a houseful of guests or you’re heading to a gracious host, the holidays generally mean that daily routines tend to change. But, it’s important to remember to hold on to some of your rituals. If your morning run sets you up for the day, then find the time to pull on your training shoes and do it. If your evening meditation helps you sleep better, then be sure not to sacrifice a peaceful night’s rest.

Take a break beforehand:

And that’s where we come in… If you don’t already have an appointment booked we still have a few spaces available. Even if you don’t have oodles of time, we can help you have a relaxing Christmas. You’d be amazed how good you’ll feel after a neck, back and shoulder massage or Heavenly Head Massage, and you simply need to set aside thirty-minutes.

Ready to set yourself up for a relaxing Christmas, contact us HERE to book your appointment at our Nelson spa.
