NATURAL NAIL TREATMENTS

TIDY & TREATMENT

What It Includes

The Tidy and Treatment is perfect for those who love to keep their nails natural yet tidy and healthy. We begin by thoroughly prepping your cuticles, trimming away any excess, and shaping your nails to your desired style. This treatment also includes the application of a Bio Sculpture Ethos treatment, providing your nails with the nourishment and hydration they need. To finish, we apply cuticle oil and hand cream to leave your hands feeling soft and rejuvenated.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

For healthy and tidy nails, we recommend having the Tidy and Treatment every 3-6 weeks, depending on your nail growth and how well you maintain your nails.

​

Can I have this treatment if I have gel polish on?

GEL NAILS

Gel Nails

GEL POLISH

What is it?

The Gel Polish treatment is perfect for those who want a glossy manicure that lasts up to 2 weeks without the hassle of smudging or chipping. Gel Polish is the thinnest consistency of the three gel options available, and it is applied just like traditional nail polish. The main difference is that instead of air drying, the gel is cured under a UV or LED lamp, meaning no waiting around for your nails to dry. They’re set and ready to go as soon as you leave the salon! This treatment offers vibrant, long-lasting color and a sleek finish.

​

Best for:

✔️ Clients with strong, healthy natural nails
✔️ One-off occasions like holidays or special events
✔️ Those who want easy removal

​

Treatment Process

During your Gel Polish service, we begin by carefully prepping your cuticles and gently filing and shaping your nails to your desired look. Once your nails are prepped, we apply a layer of gel polish in your chosen colour or finish, ensuring a smooth and even application. The gel is then cured under a UV or LED lamp to set the polish. We finish by sealing your nails with a top coat for a glossy, long-lasting shine. To complete the treatment, we apply nourishing cuticle oil and hand cream, leaving your hands feeling soft and rejuvenated.

​

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does gel polish last?
Gel polish typically lasts 2-3 weeks, depending on your nail growth and how well you maintain them.

 

Can I apply gel polish to damaged or weak nails?
Gel polish is best suited for healthy, strong nails. If your nails are weak or damaged, we recommend considering either Builder Gel or Hard Gel to help restore their health first.

 

How do I remove gel polish?
Gel polish is removed using a soak-off process. We recommend booking a removal appointment to ensure your nails are treated properly.

 

Will the gel polish damage my nails?
No, if applied and removed correctly, gel polish won’t damage your nails. It’s important to ensure proper removal by booking a professional soak-off session.

​

Pre-Treatment Advice

  • Your nails should be clean, with no previous polish or gel on them. If you have old gel polish, please book a separate gel removal session.

  • If you have any nail health concerns, it’s best to consult with your technician before your treatment.

 

Aftercare

  • Avoid using your nails as tools: Be mindful of using your nails for tasks like opening cans or scrubbing, as this can cause the polish to lift.

  • Hydrate your nails and cuticles: Apply cuticle oil regularly to keep your nails and surrounding skin moisturised.

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to water: While gel polish is durable, prolonged soaking in water can weaken the polish and cause it to chip faster.

  • If you decide to remove the gel polish yourself, be sure to use the proper soak-off process to avoid damaging your nails.

BUILDER GEL

What It Includes

Builder Gel is the latest must-have in the nail world! At Totally Polished, we specialise in Builder Gel, ensuring that your nails receive the best, most professional application. Many clients have experienced poor applications elsewhere, leading to thick, bulky, and bumpy nails, but with our expert technique, you can rest assured that your nails will be shaped and sculpted perfectly.

 

Builder Gel has a thicker consistency than traditional gel polish and is often available in natural pink shades that can be matched to your nail colour. Alternatively, you can opt for a bold block colour over the top. Unlike gel polish, Builder Gel is self-levelling, meaning we apply and sculpt it onto the nail in small sections (1-2 nails at a time) to prevent flooding the cuticle or sidewalls.

 

Best for:
✔️ Nail biters looking to start a nail growth journey
✔️ Clients with weaker nails that need extra protection
✔️ Those who want a longer-lasting manicure with added strength

 

Treatment Process

The treatment process begins with cuticle prep, followed by filing and shaping your nails. We then apply Builder Gel, carefully sculpting it to build the apex of your nail. The apex is the slight curve in the centre of the nail, which provides extra strength and durability, helping your natural nails grow longer and stronger. After applying the gel, we seal your nails with your chosen finish, followed by a top coat. We finish the treatment with a nourishing layer of cuticle oil and hand cream for soft, hydrated hands.

​

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Builder Gel and gel polish?
Builder Gel is thicker than gel polish and designed to add strength to the nails, especially for those with weak or brittle nails. It’s perfect for sculpting and adding support to the natural nail.

 

How long does Builder Gel last?
Builder Gel typically lasts 3-4 weeks before maintenance is required. As your nails grow, the gel moves down, so it’s important to book regular appointments to maintain the strength and integrity of your natural nails.

 

Can Builder Gel help with my nail growth?
Yes! Builder Gel is designed to support and protect your nails, making it ideal for those who want to grow their nails longer without worrying about breakage.

 

Will Builder Gel damage my natural nails?
No, as long as it’s applied and removed properly. Our technicians are fully trained in Builder Gel techniques, ensuring your natural nails remain healthy and strong.

​

Pre-Treatment Advice

  • Ensure your nails are free from any previous gel or polish before your appointment. If you have old gel on, please book a separate removal session.

  • Let your technician know if you have any specific concerns about the strength or health of your nails so we can tailor the treatment accordingly.

​

Aftercare

  • Cuticle Oil: Apply cuticle oil regularly to keep your nails and cuticles hydrated.

  • Avoid excessive force on your nails: Be mindful not to use your nails as tools, as Builder Gel, while durable, can still chip or break under pressure.

  • Moisturise: Use hand cream regularly to keep your skin soft and hydrated, supporting the health of both your nails and hands.

HARD GEL

What It Includes

Hard Gel is the strongest option of the three and is the latest addition to Totally Polished. Unlike Gel Polish and Builder Gel, which can be soaked off, Hard Gel must be filed off. That’s why we call it a rebalance when you come in for your appointment. We restructure and balance the Hard Gel across your natural nails rather than fully removing it, ensuring the health and integrity of your nails throughout the process.

​

The application of Hard Gel is similar to Builder Gel, where we create an apex (the curve in the nail) to add strength. However, Hard Gel sets harder, providing extra durability, making it perfect for those who need more resilience in their manicure.

 

Best for:
✔️ Clients who find Builder Gel isn’t strong enough
✔️ Those with a very hands-on job or lifestyle
✔️ Anyone looking for extra strength and durability

​

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between Hard Gel and Builder Gel?
While both Hard Gel and Builder Gel create an apex for strength, Hard Gel is harder and more durable, making it ideal for those who need extra protection and strength.

 

How long does Hard Gel last?
Hard Gel typically lasts 2-4 weeks, depending on your nail growth and how well you maintain them.

 

Can I get Hard Gel Extensions?
Yes! One of the key benefits of Hard Gel is that it allows us to create extensions. Whether you need length for a special occasion or want a transformation, Hard Gel Extensions are available at Totally Polished.

 

How do I remove Hard Gel?
Hard Gel cannot be soaked off. Instead, it must be filed off by a professional. We highly recommend regular maintenance to keep your nails looking their best and avoid any damage.

​

Pre-Treatment Advice

  • If you’re transitioning from another gel treatment, ensure your nails are clean and free from any product, or make sure you have booked enough time for a removal.

  • Hard Gel requires regular maintenance, so make sure you're committed to the upkeep for the best results.

 

Aftercare

  • Avoid pressure on your nails: Try not to use your nails as tools to prevent damage to the gel.

  • Regular moisturising: Keep your nails and cuticles hydrated with cuticle oil and hand cream.

  • Maintain your nails: Schedule regular appointments to ensure the integrity of your nails and avoid unnecessary filing.

NAIL ART

Nail Art

ONE COLOUR

A Block Colour Finish involves applying the same colour to all 10 fingers, creating a clean, uniform look. This option is perfect for those who want a classic, bold manicure. However, you also have the flexibility to get creative with this finish! You can mix and match different block colours across your nails or choose a different shade for each finger to create a stunning gradient effect. Whether you’re going for a classic one-colour look or want to experiment with a fun, vibrant combination, the block colour finish offers endless possibilities for your nails.

FRENCH FINISH

A French Finish is a timeless and elegant look, traditionally featuring a classic white tip with a natural nail base. However, this finish offers plenty of room for creativity! You can opt for a coloured tip instead of the traditional white, or even experiment with an alternative French design to add your personal touch. New to Totally Polished, Valtenia offers an Ombre French, a beautiful gradient that blends the classic white tip into a soft pink base, providing a fresh, modern twist on the iconic style. Whether you choose the classic look or something more vibrant, the French finish is always chic and versatile.

MINIMAL NAIL ART

Minimal Nail Art is the perfect way to add a touch of creativity to your nails without going over the top. This includes subtle designs such as dots, glitter, foil, flakes, simple flowers, and abstract patterns. Each of our therapists has their own unique style and skill set when it comes to minimal nail art, and they often have swatches of their favourite designs to inspire you. If you have a specific design in mind, feel free to send it to us beforehand to ensure that your therapist is able to create the look you want. Minimal nail art is a great way to personalise your manicure while keeping it sleek and stylish!

DETAILED NAIL ART

Detailed Nail Art is a specialised service that can no longer be booked online and must be arranged directly through the salon. This option is available exclusively with Ffion, who specialises in creating intricate designs. Since detailed nail art can vary greatly in complexity, it’s important to send Ffion your design ideas in advance so she can allocate the appropriate amount of time for your appointment. Designs can include flames, intricate flowers, lettering, mix and match patterns, and much more, ensuring your nails are uniquely styled to your vision.

FOOT SERVICES

GEL TOES

Treatment Process

The Gel Toes treatment follows the same application process as gel polish for your hands. We begin by prepping your cuticles, filing, and shaping your toenails. Then, we apply a layer of gel polish in your chosen colour, curing it under a UV or LED lamp to ensure it sets perfectly. To finish, we seal the polish with a top coat for added shine and durability.

​

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Gel Toes last?
Gel polish on toes typically lasts 4-6 weeks, making it perfect for those who want low-maintenance, long-lasting colour.

​

Pre-Treatment Advice​

  • You can come in any footwear as the gel will be dry straight away.​

​

Aftercare

  • Moisturise: Apply cuticle oil and hand cream to keep the surrounding skin hydrated.

  • Avoid pressure on your toes: Be mindful of excessive pressure or friction from tight shoes, as this can cause the gel to lift or chip.

LUXE GEL PEDICURE

What It Includes

The Luxe Gel Pedicure is first step to treat your feet to a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. We begin with dry cuticle prep and nail filing, where we recommend keeping your toenails short and square for the best results. Next, we apply your chosen gel polish, ensuring a smooth and even finish

​

After the polish is applied, the pampering begins! Your feet are soaked in a bubbly foot bath to soften the skin and help you relax. Then, we use a foot rasp to exfoliate any rough spots, followed by a gentle scrub to remove dead skin. To finish off the treatment, you’ll receive a soothing foot massage that will leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised.

​

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the gel polish last on my toes?
Gel polish on your toes typically lasts 4-6 weeks, providing long-lasting colour with minimal touch-ups needed.

 

Can I wear open-toed shoes after the pedicure?
Yes, but your gel pedicure will be fully dry and set by the time you leave, so you can wear closed-toed shoes immediately after your appointment.

 

Is the pedicure suitable for sensitive feet?
Absolutely! We can adjust the pressure during the foot massage and use gentle exfoliation if you have sensitive skin or feet.

 

How often should I get a Luxe Gel Pedicure?
We recommend getting a pedicure every 4-6 weeks to keep your feet in great condition and ensure your gel polish lasts.

​

Pre-Treatment Advice

  • If you have any previous polish or gel, don't panic! we’ll take care of the removal.

ELIM PEEL TREATMENT

What It Includes

The Elim Peel Pedicure is an excellent choice if your feet have been neglected and are in need of a refresh. This treatment features a medical-grade foot peel that uses natural fruit acids to gently break down and soften hard skin and calluses, making them easy to remove. Not only does it exfoliate and smooth your feet, but it also helps to rejuvenate the skin, leaving your feet feeling soft and renewed.

​

The treatment includes a soothing foot soak to soften the skin, followed by a gentle scrub to exfoliate and remove dead skin. After the peel and exfoliation, your feet are treated to a relaxing foot massage that will leave you feeling pampered and rejuvenated.

​

Perfect for:
✔️ Feet in need of some TLC
✔️ Those with hard skin
✔️ A luxurious and effective foot treatment

​

Difference Between Elim Peel Pedicure and At-Home Kits:
The key difference between this treatment and at-home foot peel kits is that the Elim Peel Pedicure includes a neutralizer, which restores the skin's pH balance after the breakdown process. This helps prevent overstimulation of the skin. At-home kits, on the other hand, lack this neutralizing step, which means your feet continue to peel long after the treatment. While the peeling may seem impressive at first, it can ultimately cause the newly soft skin to enter "fight or flight" mode, hardening up more than it originally was before. The Elim Peel ensures a controlled, healthy process, leaving your feet soft and smooth without over-exfoliating.

​

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Elim Peel Pedicure?
The Elim Peel Pedicure is a medical-grade foot peel that uses fruit acids to break down hard skin and calluses. It’s designed to gently exfoliate and rejuvenate your feet.

 

How long does the treatment last?
The treatment lasts about 60 minutes, providing both a deep exfoliation and a soothing experience.

 

Will the Elim Peel Pedicure hurt?
No, the treatment is pain-free. You may feel a slight tingling sensation during the peel, but it’s completely comfortable.

 

How soon will I see results?
After the treatment, you’ll notice smoother and softer feet immediately. The full benefits will become apparent in the following days as the peel continues to work.

 

How often should I have this treatment?
For best results, we recommend having an Elim Peel Pedicure every 4-6 weeks to maintain soft, healthy feet.

​

Pre-Treatment Advice

  • If you have any previous polish or gel, don't panic! we’ll take care of the removal.

  • If you have any foot conditions such as open sores or fungal infections, please let your technician know so we can tailor the treatment to your needs.

​

Aftercare

  • Moisturise regularly: Apply foot cream and cuticle oil to keep your feet hydrated and smooth.

  • Don't let your toenails get too long as this will cause discomfort in your shoes.

EFILE PEDCIURE TREATMENT

TOENAIL RECONSTRUCTION

Toenail Reconstruction

TOENAIL RECONSTRUCTION

What Is Toenail Reconstruction?

Toenail Reconstruction is a treatment using a gel-based product to repair or reshape a damaged or unsightly toenail. Whether caused by trauma, injury, fungal infections, or genetic conditions, toenail reconstruction can dramatically improve the appearance of your toenail, restoring both its function and aesthetic. This treatment is designed to boost self-confidence and help you feel more comfortable with your feet again.

 

How Long Does It Last?

Toenail reconstruction typically lasts up to 6 weeks or longer, depending on the condition of the natural nail and your lifestyle. However, it is advised to not go beyond 6 weeks before returning for a check-up to ensure the health of the natural toenail.

 

Is Toenail Reconstruction Permanent?

No, Toenail Reconstruction is not permanent. After 6 weeks, the gel reconstruction needs to be removed to assess the health of the natural toenail. If the natural nail is in good condition, the treatment can be reapplied.

 

Who Is It For?

This treatment is ideal for clients with severely damaged or lost toenails due to:

  • Trauma (e.g., dropped heavy objects or accidents)

  • Sports injuries

  • Acrylics that have caused damage

  • Previous fungal infections

  • Medical treatments such as surgery, laser treatments, or chemotherapy

 

How Is It Removed?

Toenail reconstruction must always be removed by a professional. Do not attempt to remove it yourself, as doing so can cause further damage to the natural toenail. We’ll carefully and safely remove the reconstruction and check the health of your natural nail before deciding whether it can be reapplied.

Brow Treatments

BROW TREATMENTS

EYEBROW SHAPE

A Brow Shape is a wax treatment to tidy up any fluffy, stray hairs, giving your brows a clean, defined look. We work with your natural brow shape to enhance and frame your face, ensuring your brows are perfectly shaped and polished.

EYEBROW TINT

A Brow Tint involves tinting the brow hairs and staining the skin beneath, using your chosen shade. This treatment can fill in sparse areas and give your brows a fuller, more defined appearance. The tint typically lasts anywhere between 3-6 weeks, depending on your skin type and lifestyle, providing you with long-lasting, natural-looking color.

BESPOKE BROWS

If your brows have been neglected or you’re looking for a complete transformation, Bespoke Brows is the treatment for you. In this session, we’ll begin by mapping out your brows and discussing your brow goals to ensure we achieve the best possible result. We’ll then follow with precise tinting and shaping, tailored specifically to your unique face shape and brow needs. Afterward, we’ll provide guidance on how to maintain your brows at home, or we can create a personalised brow plan for ongoing care and shaping.

BROW LAMINATION

Brow Lamination is a treatment that involves straightening and lifting the brow hairs using a chemical solution. This allows the hairs to become more flexible and easier to shape, giving you the ability to move them into your desired position. Brow lamination is perfect for covering gaps or stray hairs, creating a fuller, fluffier look. It typically lasts up to 8 weeks and is ideal for clients who want to tame thick, unruly brows or for those with thin or sparse brows seeking a fuller, more textured look.

Patch Test Information

A patch test is required at least 48 hours before any brow tint or brow lamination treatment. If you are new to the salon or haven’t had these treatments within the last 3 months, you will need to undergo a patch test before your appointment. This is to ensure there are no allergic reactions to the products used during your treatment.

​

You can easily book your patch test online or contact the salon to arrange an appointment. We recommend getting your patch test done in advance to avoid any delays on the day of your treatment.

​

Frequently Asked Questions 

How long do my brows stay shaped or tinted?
Brow shape and tint typically last anywhere from 3-6 weeks, depending on your skin type and lifestyle.

 

Does brow lamination hurt?
No, brow lamination is a gentle process. While you may feel slight pressure, the treatment itself is painless.

 

Can I shape my brows myself between appointments?

How soon can I apply makeup after a brow treatment?
After your treatment, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup.

LASH TREATMENTS

Lash Treatments

LASH TINTING

Lash Tinting is a simple yet effective treatment to enhance your natural lashes by tinting them with a semi-permanent color. This treatment gives your lashes a fuller, darker appearance, perfect for clients who want to avoid mascara or simply want to add definition. Lash tinting typically lasts 3-6 weeks depending on your skin type and lifestyle.

LASH LIFT & TINT

A Lash Lift and Tint is the ultimate treatment for those looking for a natural curl and darker lashes. The lash lift works with your natural lashes, lifting and curling them to give the appearance of longer, voluminous lashes. When combined with a tint, your lashes will also appear darker, adding extra definition. The results last 6-8 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle, offering long-lasting lift and curl without the need for mascara or eyelash curlers.

LASH EXTENSIONS

Lash Extensions are perfect for those looking to enhance their lashes with more volume and length.

 

We offer two styles:

  • Classic Lash Extensions: This involves one lash extension applied to one natural lash, providing a more subtle, natural look.

  • Fluffy Lash Extensions: These involve 3-5 lash extensions applied to each natural lash, creating a fuller, more voluminous look. This option is perfect for clients who want more dramatic lashes.

​

Lash extensions require regular maintenance, typically with 2-3 week infills, to keep your lashes looking their best and to ensure the extensions stay healthy and intact.

Patch Test Information

A patch test is required at least 48 hours before any lash tint, lash lift, or lash extensions treatment. If you are new to the salon or haven’t had these treatments within the last 3 months, a patch test is necessary to ensure there are no allergic reactions to the products used.

​

You can book your patch test online or contact the salon directly to arrange an appointment. We recommend getting your patch test done in advance to ensure a smooth experience on the day of your treatment.

​

Frequently Asked Questions

Which lash service is best for me?

Lash Tinting is ideal if you’re looking for a natural enhancement with darker, more defined natural lashes.

Lash Lift and Tint is perfect if you want a natural curl and more volume with the added bonus of darkened lashes.

Lash Extensions are best if you’re looking for longer-lasting results, with a fuller or more voluminous look, but they require regular infills to maintain.

 

How long do lash extensions last?

Lash extensions last about 2-3 weeks before an infill is needed, as your natural lashes shed during their growth cycle.

 

Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?

No, it’s best to avoid mascara with lash extensions, as it can cause them to clump and affect the longevity of the extensions.

 

How long does a lash lift last?

While waxing can cause some discomfort, it is quick and over in a matter of seconds. We ensure the process is as comfortable as possible, and with regular waxing, the pain often becomes more manageable.

 

Can I shave between waxing treatments?

​

Pre-Treatment Advice

  • Avoid exfoliating the area to be waxed for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

  • Make sure hair is the right length for waxing (about 1/4 inch or the length of a grain of rice). If your hair is too short, waxing may be less effective.

  • Refrain from tanning or using self-tanner in the area to be waxed before your appointment, as it can make the skin more sensitive and leave you patchy!

  • If you're menstruating, waxing is safe, but some clients find it more uncomfortable during this time. Feel free to reschedule if needed.

​

Aftercare Advice

  • Avoid hot water (like hot baths or showers) and steam for 24 hours after your treatment to prevent irritation.

  • No sun exposure: Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, or self-tanning products for 48 hours after your wax.

  • Exfoliate gently a few days after your wax to avoid ingrown hairs.

  • Moisturise regularly with a fragrance-free moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and smooth.

  • Avoid tight clothing after leg waxing, especially for the first 24 hours, to prevent irritation.

If you have sensitive skin, be sure to mention it to your technician before the treatment. We use sensitive wax options to minimise irritation, and we’ll take extra care to ensure your skin is treated gently.

 

How long does the hair need to be for waxing?
For optimal results, the hair should be at least 1/4 inch long, or about the length of a grain of rice. If the hair is too short, the wax may not be as effective.

​

Pre-Treatment Advice

  • Exfoliate gently 24-48 hours before your appointment to help prevent ingrown hairs and ensure a smooth waxing process.

  • Hair length: Ensure your hair is at least 1/4 inch long for the wax to grip properly. If your hair is too short, the treatment may not be as effective.

  • Avoid tanning and using self-tanners 24 hours before your waxing appointment, as this can make your skin more sensitive.

  • Avoid caffeine or alcohol before your appointment, as it may make your skin more sensitive to the wax.

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment to avoid any irritation or discomfort after waxing.

​

Aftercare Advice

  • Avoid hot showers or baths for the first 24 hours to prevent irritation.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 48 hours after waxing.

  • Exfoliate gently after 2-3 days to prevent ingrown hairs. Regular exfoliation will help keep your skin smooth and free from bumps.

  • Moisturise daily using a fragrance-free moisturizer to keep your skin soft and hydrated.

  • Wear loose-fitting clothing after your wax to avoid rubbing and irritation in the treated area.

  • Avoid tight swimwear or public swimming pools for 24-48 hours to avoid irritation and infection.

HOLISTIC TREATMENTS

GUA SHA FACIAL

​​

The Gua Sha Facial is an ancient Chinese healing technique designed to enhance your skin's natural beauty. The treatment begins with a cleanse, followed by exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and reveal fresh skin. A toning step helps to balance your skin, and then the Gua Sha treatment begins.

​

Using a smooth-edged tool, our therapist gently massages your skin, promoting lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness, and improving blood circulation. This results in a naturally lifted and sculpted appearance, with your skin feeling refreshed and radiant. Finally, a moisturising treatment leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated.

Holistic Treatments

GLOW FACIAL

Our Classic Facial is perfect for anyone looking to rejuvenate and refresh their skin. This facial treatment starts with a deep cleanse to remove impurities and prep the skin for exfoliation. After the skin is exfoliated, a hydration mask is applied to restore moisture and revitalise the skin.

​

The facial also includes a soothing facial massage, designed to relax the facial muscles and promote circulation, leaving you feeling refreshed. The treatment finishes with nourishing moisturisers, leaving your skin glowing and beautifully hydrated.

SIGNATURE FACIAL

The Signature Facial offers a luxurious and deeply relaxing experience. We begin with a relaxing facial cleanse, followed by toning, scrub, and a nourishing mask. Next, we perform a sculpting massage using techniques designed to lift and tone the skin, followed by a relaxing facial massage to release tension.

​

We then treat the delicate eye area with our eye revive treatment, which nourishes and hydrates, giving your eyes a refreshed look. To end your facial, you will experience a hand and arm massage, followed by a leg and foot massage to promote relaxation throughout the entire body. This facial is a complete mind and body rejuvenation.

ROSE EYE REVIVE

Our Cooling Rose Quartz Eye Treatment is perfect for refreshing tired eyes. This treatment targets puffiness and rehydrates the delicate skin around your eyes using cooling rose quartz crystals. The rose oils used in this treatment help relieve tension headaches while the anti-inflammatory properties soothe and renew the eye area. The result is a refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated appearance, leaving your eyes looking revitalised.
