Enjoy a Nelson holiday after the holidays!

by

It’s that time of year again! You’ve decked your halls, wrapped your gifts and attended numerous Christmas parties. Now you’re waiting for the arrival of your many house guests. This time of year is full-on. It’s no wonder, so many of us feel frazzled by the beginning of January! This year why not plan a Nelson holiday, after the holidays to ease you into 2019.

Here are three ways you can enjoy a Nelson holiday after the holidays!

  • Be a tourist in your backyard.

    We’re so lucky to live in beautiful Nelson. So take time out to appreciate everything that’s on offer. You could cycle the Great Taste Trail or kayak in Abel Tasman. Choose just one day to be a tourist in your backyard, relax and enjoy!

  • Head to the beach.

    Who doesn’t love a beach holiday? And in the Nelson region, we have plenty to choose from. Don’t forget to prepare for your beach excursion with a visit to Woman Beauty. We have a full range of Ultraceuticals sun protection to fill your Nelson holiday beach bag. A Sunescape spray tan and a wax in all the right places will get you swimsuit ready. We are open until 24th December and have taken on extra staff so you can prepare for your Nelson beach holiday.

  • Escape to the Islands

    Promise yourself a Nelson holiday staycation in the New Year at Woman Beauty. A Fiji Holiday treatment is the perfect way to recharge your batteries after the excesses of the festive season. Take half a day to pretend you are on holiday. Start with the signature Tropical Paradise Ritual, enjoy crème scrub exfoliation followed by a relaxing massage with exotic oil then be painted with body butter, wrapped up while enjoying a Fijian scalp treatment with warm oil. This pampering wouldn’t be complete without adding a spa manicure and pedicure then enjoy time out with a complimentary refreshment in the relax lounge. The perfect gift to add to your Christmas wishlist! We reopen on Monday 7th January, so book your New Year treat to yourself, today!

Happy holidays from the whole team at Woman Beauty!

 

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!

by

Despite the recent, (shall we say changeable?), Nelson weather. Summer is on its way! So with that in mind we thought we’d share our summer skin tips to help you survive the season!

  • SPF 30+ Sheer tint – For all skin types

Get fresh with a facial

We couldn’t write an article on summer skin tips without including a facial recommendation. A facial is a great way to prepare your skin for any change of season. For a hydration boost try the Sothys Hydra 3Ha Facial. It’s The crème de la crème of facials creating a unique triple Hyaluronic acid approach to restore, reactivate and rejuvenate all the key elements of skin hydration. 71% increased skin moisture levels after just one treatment. Buy yours HERE.

Stay cool as a cucumber

Keep your shower cool in summer, especially after sun exposure, as hot showers dry out your skin further. Call in and talk to us about the Jane Iredale hydrating face sprays. They’re perfect products to throw in your handbag. A quick spritz will cool you down when you get hot and bothered. They also set your makeup for a long-lasting, smooth finish.

Don’t get in a rash

No summer skin tips post would be complete without this hero product! Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue Body Spray is a summer handbag essential. 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, discover a gentle yet highly effective way to soothe, moisturize and nourish irritated skin affected by sunburn, dehydration, insect bites, rashes or shaving.

Fake it don’t bake it

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. The Sunescape natural colours come in light, medium or dark, so choose the one that suits you best to get Nelson summer ready in one appointment!

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.

spring beauty checklist nelson

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.

Spring clean your makeup pouch in Nelson!

by

Spring has arrived in Nelson, which means it’s time to clear out your makeup pouch and make way for new season colours.

Spring is the time to lighten and brighten things up. As you reach for your pastel-hued tops or bright neon jewellery you should also be thinking about updating your makeup palette.

Creating your canvas

We have a range of Jane Iredale pure mineral foundations that help create a radiant, soft-focus effect. Update your foundation seasonally as your skin tone and texture will change.

Spring blooms

Pastels are always in fashion for spring. Get fresh-faced with a little rose-tinted blush for a healthy radiance.

Lips to love

Kiss goodbye to your darker berry shades and say hello to tropical fruits! Mango and watermelon flavours are spring and summer hits. Keep your lips soft and smooth with Jane Iredale hydrating, vitamin-rich lip colours. From stains to glosses, to good old-fashioned bullet lipsticks, we have your full-lipped favourites!

Open your eyes

Yes, we know you wear your sunnies most of the time, but sometimes you’ll want to enjoy the untinted view… So make sure you’re dressed for the occasion. The hottest eye makeup trends on the runway were bright colours, think yellow and azure blue! But if that’s not your thing, you can’t go wrong with warm browns and shimmery peaches.

Getting your glow on

Nothing says spring quite like that naturally dewy glow. We love Jane Iredale Hydration Sprays, they lift our spirits and set our makeup the day. Perfect to slip in your handbag, if you’re heading for drinks after work they’ll freshen your face up in a spritz!

Be a sparkling socialite

As you head into the summer party season add some razzle-dazzle to your Nelson evening… We love the Jane Iredale 24-Karat Gold Dust. For a shimmering, ethereal look, sweep it across cheeks, eyes, lips and even your décolletage. You can even blend it into your favourite hair product for glittering up-do.

At Woman Beauty Nelson, we’re proud to be the Nelson stockist of the beautiful range of Jane Iredale mineral makeup. Join us for our upcoming Jane Iredale event on Wednesday 24th October. We have appointments throughout the day with makeup artist Melanie McConnell, and our very own Hayley & Georgia, so you can perfect your spring makeup. Your booking fee ($40) is redeemable against any Jane Iredale products purchased on the day. Contact us to book your space, as these days sell out fast!

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.

Ultraceuticals at Woman Beauty Nelson

by

At Woman, we’re proud to be exclusive Nelson stockists of the premier range of facial cosmeceuticals, Ultraceuticals.

Ultraceuticals is one of Australia’s pre-eminent cosmeceutical brands. The range offers professional grade products formulated to address major skin concerns such as ageing, pigmentation and acne. The result is your best-ever skin!

But what are cosmeceuticals?

Cosmeceuticals contain active ingredients (10%- 25%). These ingredients make actual changes in the second layer of the skin and work by getting the skin to function and perform as it should. The ingredients in cosmeceuticals also help to look after and protect the important lipid barrier of the skin, allowing for better penetration of the active ingredients. These products need to come via the recommendation of a qualified skin therapist, after a thorough consultation and assessment of your skin.

As we head into spring and summer it’s time to give your cosmetic bag and bathroom cabinet an overhaul, and add some extra protection! As well as the fabulous range of cleansers, serums and moisturisers on offer, Ultraceuticals can also help protect you from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
