Information and Aftercare advice

The following information and aftercare advice has been collated by our beauty therapists to ensure you recieve the best possible treatment whilst at the Salon.

Waxing

• Do not apply any perfumed products or make-up to
the area, before or after waxing
• Avoid touching the area or wearing tight clothing for 12 hours after waxing
• Do not expose waxed area of skin to heat i.e. gym, sunbeds, saunas, steam, hot showers/ baths etc for 12 hours before or 24 hours after treatment
• Avoid having waxing done during your menstrual period, as your pain threshold is lower during that week
• Allow enough time between waxes. 4-6 weeks is an average for most clients, we need the hair to be long enough for the wax to stick to
• Exfoliate regularly, 12 hours after waxing is an ideal time to start, providing your skin has settled down from the treatment, using high quality products and mittens to remove all dead skin. We recommend Dermalogica body products which can be purchased from the Salon
• Eyebrows shouldn’t be waxed on the same day as a facial

Manicure & Pedicure

• Wear gloves whilst washing up and gardening etc to protect your hands
• Always apply a base coat before applying nail polish as it helps to prevent your nails from becoming stained.
• After base coat, apply two coats of colour, allowing each to dry and finish with a shiney top coat
• Apply hand/foot cream everyday to keep them nourished and soft
• After pedicure, remove any hard/rough skin with a pumice stone whilst bathing as this keeps the skin moist and soft
• When coming into the Salon for a pedicure, remember to bring open toe shoes, as it will take up to 1 hour for the polish to dry completely

Acrylic nail extentions

• Massage solar oil into the nails and cuticles as frequently as possible everyday, this is very important in preventing lifting of the extension. Solar oil is available to purchase at the Salon
• Do not use the extension as a tool, treat the extension with the same amount of care as you would your natural nail
• Wear gloves when washing up and gardening etc
• Do not put them in contact with acetone, this can be found in some nail polish removers

Facials

• Do not apply any products or make-up to your face on the day of your facial, you need to allow your skin to rest
• If possible, remove contact lenses and make up prior to your facial. This saves time, and allows you to enjoy the treatment fully
• Carry out a daily skin care routine i.e. cleanse, tone, and moisturise. We would recommend Dermalogica
• Do not have any waxing on your face on the same day as your facial as it may be very sensitive to do so.

Spray Tanning

• Exfoliate your whole body the night before and remove any unwanted hair, then moisturise
• The day you are having your tan shower but do not exfoliate, remove hair, moisturise, or apply make-up or deodorant
• Minimum of 12 hours or ideally overnight, shower off all residual cosmetic bronzer. This gives your tan a chance to develop fully
• The day after and everyday thereafter, moisturise your whole body for maximum results. This will help the tan to fade evenly like a natural tan would
• When visiting the Salon for your tan, ensure you are wearing loose dark clothing. The tan will not stain, however, it may look unsightly on light coloured clothing. The tan will stain silk, so do not wear any silk or silk blend clothing

Please ensure you pick up a Naturasun leaflet from the salon after your treatment for further advice and aftercare

Ear Piercing

• Bathe ears with salt water or antiseptic lotion twice everyday
• Turn the studs once clockwise then anti-clockwise everyday for 8 weeks
• Do not remove or change studs for 8 weeks
