I have heard a lot about eyelash extensions, how do they work?

We were one of the first salons in the area to offer Lash extensions, we have over two years experience and are able to offer choice of shape, colour, length and effect. The lashes last for weeks and can be topped up to last for months.The treatment is one synthetic lash placed on each of your upper lashes. Creating thicker, longer and more curved lashes. Instantly making your eyes appear made up and glamorous.  The treatment takes one and half hrs and costs £75

Is it true that Asian skin cannot have electrolysis?

No this not not true at all. All skin types are able to have electrolysis no matter what their pigment colour, oilyness, age etc. A professional electrogist will adjust certain aspects of the treatment to accommodate all skin types.

There is a lot of flexibility with electrolysis, we can choose from several techniques, needle types, needle sizes, treatment length, treatment frequency. An experienced therapist will be able to advice you how to get the best, fastest results, without ever compromising your skin quality.

I have loads of course hairs on my chin, I have been having threading, but it is making the problem worse and my skin has become very spotty since I started the threading is there a treatment that will get rid of them permanently and improve my skin?

Yes definately, Electrolysis is a pertmanent method of removal. The hairs are getting stronger because every time you pluck them you release new blood supply into the follicle. Electrolysis is the only treatment that is legally allowed to be called permanent hair removal. It always works and is a simple course of treatments that will resolve your problem forever.

I have a frozen shoulder that is very painful and I have restricted movement, would a sports massge help?

A sports massage is a deep treatment that uses massage, stretches, manipulation and heat to work into the muscles fibres and release tension. It should only be carried out by a qualified sports massage therapist. Andrew Whyte works with us here at The Beauty Therapy Centre.

Do Gel nails last longer than normal varnish? I heard it doesn't chip in the same way, is this true?

Yes its true Gel varnish lasts up to 2 weeks with barely a chip and they soak off, so are gentle on the nail, unlike nail extensions or acrylics. We have them in over a dozen of O.P.I's favourite colours.
