📆 PLEASE HELP ME - A Little Reminder About Appointments 📆

Facebook Messenger has been unreliable lately, and some people aren’t receiving their appointment confirmations. I’ll double-check messages tomorrow, but to avoid any issues, please make sure to note your appointment in your own diary or set a reminder when you book in the salon.

Just to be clear – it is your responsibility to remember your appointment. I don’t send automated reminders, and if you miss or forget, it isn’t due to messenger glitches. With so many clients, sending manual reminders takes up a lot of admin time, so I really appreciate your help in keeping track of your bookings. 💕

Thank you for understanding and for helping me keep things running smoothly!

Many people ask me whats the difference between Shellac/gel polish/BIAB. So here's a little explanation.

Shellac is just the brand name for CND’s UV-cured gel polish system. It isn’t a separate type of product—its application, curing process, and chemical makeup are the same as other soak-off gel polishes. The only real difference is the name on the label, not how it works.

✨ Gel Polish vs BIAB – What’s the Difference? ✨

💅 Gel Polish – Perfect for adding colour & shine to healthy nails.

Thin & flexible

Lasts up to 2 weeks

Ideal for strong natural nails

💅 BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) – The go-to for strength & structure.

Thicker & more durable

Lasts 3–4 weeks

Great for weak, bendy or damaged nails

Can even create short extensions

💖 In short:
Gel Polish = Colour & gloss
BIAB = Strength & support

🚨 Let’s Talk Skin Safety! 🚨

Ever experienced red, sore or raw patches after a wax? You may have had what's called skin grazing/lifting— when the top layer of skin is lifted or removed during waxing. 😣

🔍 Common Causes of Skin Grazing: ✨ Using Retinol or AHAs – These thin the skin, making it more prone to lifting.
✨ Sunburn or Recent Tanning – Damaged skin is fragile skin!
✨ Certain Medications – Acne treatments like Roaccutane or antibiotics can affect skin sensitivity. This can include weight loss medications.
✨ Over-exfoliation – If you’ve recently used scrubs, peels, or exfoliating acids.
✨ Thin, Mature or Dehydrated Skin – Naturally more delicate and reactive.

💬 Why a Consultation is Crucial:
Your skin’s safety is our top priority. A thorough consultation helps your beauty therapist:
✅ Spot any red flags before treatment
✅ Choose the right wax and technique for your skin type
✅ Give you personalised prep & aftercare advice
✅ If it does happen we can give you advice on how to treat and avoid it getting worse.

💡 Remember: what you apply on your skin at home can affect your treatment results in salon. Always be open and honest with your therapist!

This is a judgement free zone! Just let your therapist know if anything has changed.

🧖‍♀️ Beautiful skin is healthy skin — let’s keep it that way. Book your consultation and wax with confidence. 💕

✨ Pre-Waxing Prep – What You NEED to Know! ✨

Heading in for a wax? Here are a few quick Do's & Don'ts to make your experience smoother, more comfortable, and get the best results possible!

✅ DO:

Exfoliate gently 24 hours before to remove dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs.

Shower before your appointment – clean skin is key!

Let your hair grow to at least a grain of rice (approx 3-4 weeks’ growth) for best results.

Wear loose-fitting, comfy clothes to your appointment.

Let your therapist know if you're on any medications (e.g. acne treatments, retinol, antibiotics).

❌ DON’T:

Don’t shave between waxes – it disrupts the growth cycle and results.

Don’t apply moisturiser, fake tan, or oils on the day of your wax.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol beforehand – they can make you more sensitive.

Don’t sunbathe or use sunbeds 24 hours before your wax.

Don’t book a wax if your skin is irritated, sunburned, or broken.

🌟 Come prepped = leave smooth and glowing!

WAXING

✨ Why One Wax Isn’t Enough… and Regular Waxing is Everything! ✨

Let’s talk real results 💬

One-off waxing? Great for a quick smooth.
But regular waxing? That’s where the magic happens! 🪄

Here’s why consistency is key:
💛 Hair grows back finer, softer, & slower
💛 Less irritation & fewer ingrown hairs over time
💛 You’ll stay smoother for longer
💛 Your skin gets used to the process (hello, less ouch!)
💛 You’ll sync your hair growth into a more manageable cycle

🚫 Skipping sessions = starting all over again
✅ Sticking to a schedule = long-term smoothness & better results

So if you're dreaming of smooth, silky skin — make waxing a part of your self-care routine, not just a last-minute plan!

📅 Book your next wax before you leave the salon to stay on track!

🕵️‍♀️ The (Not-So-Secret) Intimate Waxing Survival Guide

Smooth skin? We got you. Whether it’s your first wax or your 50th, here’s everything you need to know — with zero judgement and a side of sass 💁‍♀️

🌿 Before Your Wax:

✨ Hair should be ¼ inch long (think rice grain).

✨ Gently exfoliate 24 hrs before.

✨ Freshen up before you show up 🧼 A quick shower or wipe-down beforehand keeps things clean and comfortable for both of us.

✨ No gym or fake tan pre-wax — sweat + wax = nope.

💺 During Your Wax:

💖 Yes, you’ll be a little naked — we’ve seen it all. No judgement, this is a safe space. We are all different shapes & sizes.

🧘‍♀️ The frog pose is real. Not yoga — just strategy.

🗣️ Chatty or silent? Totally up to you. Your vibe, your rules.

🧊 Aftercare Tips:

🙌 Hands off the area. Let it chill.

🔥 No s*x, hot baths, saunas or workouts for 24–48hrs.

🧴 Moisturise & exfoliate (gently!) after a few days.

🌱 Bumps/itchy? Totally normal. Use aloe or tea tree, wear loose clothes, and DM us if unsure.

💡 FAQs:

Q: What if I fart?

A: We’ve heard worse. It’s natural. No biggie.

Q: Period waxing?

A: Yep! Just wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup & let us know. You may feel a bit more sensitive.

Q: Will I regret it?

A: Only if you don’t rebook 😏

👑 Final Words: You’re a smooth queen in the making. You’re brave. You’re fabulous. And we’re honoured to wax your bits 💖

Hi everyone,

Please bear with me. I am resending confirmations of appointments as my facebook messenger is showing that some have not been sent/deleted, when I have already sent them. I have no idea why! If you haven't received it by tomorrow night please send me a message.

Also it has been a mad few mental weeks as I have been out teaching and had time off as my mum went through an operation last week so I am playing catch up. I will get back to everyone within the next few days. Sorry for the inconvienience.

Many thanks
Suzanne ♥️
