How to relax in Nelson

by

15th August marks a significant date on the International calendar… It’s Relaxation Day!

As you can imagine, at Woman Beauty in Nelson we’re delighted that there’s a day dedicated to relaxation, but we believe that you should be able to relax far more frequently than once every twelve months! To that end, we’ve decided to share five ways that you can relax in Nelson at any time of year!

Relax Nelson

How to relax in Nelson.
  • The fragrance of flowers – We’re blessed with our beautiful reserves and parks in Nelson, and you will always find something in bloom to satisfy the senses. When was the last time you took a wander through Queens Gardens or Miyazu Gardens? Pop it on your relaxation register!
  • Smell the coffee – If there’s one thing we’re not short of in Nelson, it’s delightful coffee shops. The simple smell of coffee can help reduce stress hormones, but we prefer to drink it! #loveyourlocalcoffeeshop
  • Head to the beach – Being close to the water has always been considered a perfect way to find calmness and clarity. You don’t need to venture too far from the city to find yourself a quiet spot at the beach.
  • Enjoy some exercise – Pick your pastime and get those endorphins pumping. From swimming to SUP, and biking to trail running, there’s a huge adventure playground on our doorstep.
  • Walk into Woman Beauty – Our clients often say they feel their troubles melting away as soon as they walk through the door of our beautiful Nelson villa, and we do our best to foster a sense of tranquillity and calm. So book a massage or spa treatment and discover what it feels like to be truly relaxed!

Call to book your appointment or shop for relaxation online! Enjoy August 15th and every other relaxation day this year!

 

Bridal Beauty Treatments @ Woman Beauty Nelson

bridal beauty treatments nelson

We may be in the depth of winter, but summer will be here before you know it and with it wedding season! So, it’s time to start thinking about your bridal beauty treatments. At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we have a range of days to pamper brides-to-be and the rest of the bridal party!

Enjoying a day packed full of bridal beauty treatments, before the actual day itself, has a heap of benefits! Here are, what we think, are the top three!

  • Meet and greet – Often a bridal party will include friends from various stages of your life, who may not have met before. So, organising a day full of bridal beauty treatments gives everybody the chance to get to know each other before the big day. You may also find that you’re reconnecting with old friends. Catching up in the comfort of our beautifully restored 1860s villa is a great way to get reacquainted with friends you haven’t seen for a while. You’ll get the opportunity to spend some time in our relax lounge. Or, we also offer dining options for bridal days in conjunction with Nelson’s, highly reviewed, Cod & Lobster Brasserie.
  • And… Relax – One of the things about planning a wedding that nobody tells you, is that it’s hard work! Taking time out for some bridal beauty treatments is a great way to catch your breath before the big day itself.
  • Confidence for your big day – Getting married is a big thing! But we don’t need to tell you that. You’ll want to look and feel fabulous, and indulging in some bridal beauty treatments, will help to ensure that you do.

At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we welcome groups of three or more people at one time*. If your group is larger than this, we can still accommodate your party with staggered bookings. Check out our range of bridal beauty treatments here. Then contact us to book yours.

Spa treatments to warm up your Nelson winter

by

At Woman Beauty we believe that nothing compares to a relaxing treatment to warm up your winter. Step through our doors on a dismal day in Nelson, and we’re certain you’ll feel immediately cocooned and quietly comforted. So, in this week’s blog article, we’re sharing some of our most popular spa treatments to add some warmth to your week!

spa treatments nelson

Five spa treatments to give you the warm fuzzies…

  • Massage starts with Mmmmm:

    A massage is a perfect way to warm up in winter. For extra toastiness try the Aromastone Massage, this blissful head to toe spa treatment utilises hot stones. Buy yours here. Or relax and drift away with the special blends of the Pacific with the Full Body Island Massage. You can choose whether you drift off for sixty or ninety minutes. Buy yours here.

  • Wrap up warm:

    The Pure Fiji Island Wrap hydrates your dry skin so you will benefit from a beautiful “island glow”. To begin with, your skin is gently dry brushed and warmed tropical oil is generously applied. Your body is wrapped with hot stones while a warm oil scalp massage releases tension hydrating the skin and detoxifying the system. You will leave with your mind renewed and your body restored. Buy yours here.

  • Indulge yourself:

    At the end of a cold winter’s day, it’s tempting to relax in a warm bath. We don’t think you should have to wait until the end of the day! Instead, indulge in a hydrotherapy bath at Woman Beauty Nelson. After this, you’ll receive a full body massage, before finishing with a spa facial and taking time out in the relax lounge. Buy yours here.

  • Escape to the tropics:

    Spa treatments can be like a mini break! Take half a day to pretend you are on holiday. Start with the signature Tropical Paradise Ritual. After this enjoy a crème scrub exfoliation followed by a relaxing massage with exotic oil. You will then be painted with body butter, and cocooned while enjoying a Fijian scalp treatment with warm oil. This pampering wouldn’t be complete without adding a spa manicure and pedicure. After this enjoy time out with a complimentary refreshment in the relax lounge. Buy yours here.

  • Do it with a friend 😉:

    Enjoy our seasonal special this winter! This Couple Retreat is designed to be enjoyed with your partner or bestie. We’ll start you off with a warm foot soak using Pure Fiji bath soak. This is followed by a sugar scrub and a relaxing full body massage. Buy yours here; the special price is for two people.

Sothys Paris at Woman Beauty Nelson

by

As Nelson’s exclusive stockist, we have some gorgeous Sothys Paris facials and body treatments available at Woman. An internationally renowned brand, Sothys Paris has been a leading innovator in the quest for perfection and beauty for women and men for over seventy years.
The key principles which govern Sothys and everything they do to this day are; a commitment to Science, Nature, and the Treatment Experience.
At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we’re extremely proud to be able to uphold Sothys commitment to the Treatment Experience. To help you make the most of these treatments we can also order any products from the Sothys range. These include products from their extensive makeup range. Simply ask at reception and we can order whatever you would like.
sothys paris nelson

Sothys Paris products and treatments are especially suitable if you have sensitive skin. They offer ultra-gentle textures specially formulated to soothe your skin.

The hero ingredient

Water is an essential component of cosmetic formulas. In the Spa Thermal Water formulas, developed by Sothys advanced research, water becomes an active ingredient in its own right. And the star ingredient in this range.

How it works

Spa thermal water helps to inhibit epidermal receptors, responsible for sensations of pain and itching on the skins surface. By blocking these receptors, spa thermal water helps to re balance the hypersensitivity of sensitive or sensitised skin. Resetting the tolerance threshold.

The Soothing Range with Spa Thermal Water, has been specially formulated with additional complementary ingredients to protect, soothe and balance sensitive skin.

Winter Special – Sothys Hydra 3Ha Facial

The crème de la crème of facials. This NEW Hydra 3Ha treatment creates 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! We recommend three treatments over two months.

Beauty treatments in Nelson – Winter’s most wanted!

by

Winter is here and with that comes the desire to rug up and enter hibernation mode. For some, that means an excuse to ease up on essential body maintenance, although that’s not a course we’d recommend… If you let that fuzz run free as temperatures freeze, you’ll find it harder to take back control in springtime. In honour of cooler temperatures, we thought we’d share some of winter’s most wanted beauty treatments.

beauty treatments nelson

  • Let’s get warmed up – A massage is a perfect way to warm up in winter. For extra toastiness try the Aromastone Massage, this blissful head to toe spa treatment uses hot stones and essential oils. Buy yours here.
  • Saving face – Your skin receives no let-up from the harsh UV rays over winter, especially in beautiful Nelson where we still have bright sunny days during the cooler months. Add to this the drying effect of wind and the lack of humidity, and your skin can become dry, red, irritated, and lacklustre. Facials are popular beauty treatments all year round, but if you want to feel like you’ve managed a winter escape, try the Pure Fiji Island Facial. We’ll take you on a journey with an ancient blend of powerful plant actives and exotic drift nut oils combined with the latest in dermatological revelations, producing phenomenal targeted facial care solutions. Buy yours here.
  • Get your glow on – Heading to a special mid-winter event in your cocktail frock? Then make sure your skin shimmers with a Sunescape Spray Tan. This beautiful natural looking tan has no harmful chemicals and is available in light, medium and dark. Spray tans are great winter beauty treatments for a quick pick me up! Buy yours here.
  • Who’s looking at you baby – If you’re wrapped in merino from torso to toes… Make your peepers work for you! Our eyebrow and eyelash tinting and taming services are a great way to help frame your face. These beauty treatments are a must all year round! Buy yours here. Ask us to help you select your new Jane Iredale mineral makeup for eyes. The autumn and winter range is stunning, we can make your eyes pop with beautiful colours, or we can show you how to create sultry smoky eyes.

 

Omnilux in Nelson – Let there be light!

by

As we head into Autumn it’s time to think about treating dehydrated skin and improving an uneven skin tone. Luckily, at Woman Beauty Day Spa, we can help you do exactly that, while also improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (#winwin situation), by using Omnilux LED Light Therapy.

omnilux

If you’ve never experienced Omnilux before then you’re missing out on one of our most popular anti-ageing treatments. In this article we thought we’d answer some of the questions we get asked most frequently about this treatment:

  • What does Omnilux do?
    This therapy will improve both skin tone and texture, it can help reduce pigmentation changes or scarring from acne and other wounds.
  • How does it work?
    The light technology works because cells within the body contain receptors that absorb light naturally. When these receptors absorb light it kick starts a cellular response. Different wavelengths stimulate different cellular responses. Omnilux has developed ReviveTM (red light) and PlusTM (white light) for very specific wavelengths and depths at which they penetrate in order to achieve their clinically proven results.
    Omnilux PlusTM is used in conjunction with Omnilux ReviveTM for periorbital wrinkles, wound healing and psoriasis. Or alone for muscular pain. Both ReviveTM and PlusTM target skin cells within the skin that are responsible for supportive structures including collagen and elastin. It will also help people that have problematic skin types.
  • Is it painful?
    The therapy is safe, pain free and non-invasive. Consequently there is no need for recovery time following your treatment. Once you become accustomed to the red light of the ReviveTM it can be a warm and pleasant experience.
  • How long does the treatment take?
    A single treatment session takes thirty minutes, if you combine it with our Revive Me (Omnilux) Facial, your treatment takes sixty minutes.
  • How many sessions of Omnilux LED Light Therapy will I need?
    This varies from person to person, but as a guide we suggest around 10 treatments, over a period of five weeks.
  • How soon will I see results?
    You may see some results during your course of treatment but optimum results will be seen several weeks after your treatment. The light stimulates the natural processes of rejuvenation and continues to work after the treatment has been carried out.
  • How long will the results last?
    After your initial course of Omnilux you may continue to have top up booster treatments every six weeks or so to maintain a revitalised and refreshed look.

Call in to Woman Beauty Day Spa Nelson for a consultation, if you would like to know more or to discuss a treatment plan tailored for you.

Omnilux (LED) Light Therapy $80 – timer 30 mins – Or enquire for costs of a course.
Revive Me Omnilux Facial $155 – timer 60 mins.

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!
