Facials
are beneficial to the skin as they help to keep the skin clear of blocked pores and can help to balance the skin type.

Facials include cleansing, exfoliating, mask, massage, toning and moisturising this helps to give the face a deep cleanse to remove the grime that has accumulated in the pores causing spots and black heads.

Electrolysis Hair Removal - History
In l875 an ophthalmologist, Dr. Charles E. Michael, discovered a way to remove an ingrown eyelash from a patient. Dr. Michael's method has been improved upon and modified. Today the process of electrolysis is recognized as a safe, permanent method of hair removal on all parts of the face and body.

Electrolysis Hair Removal - How does Electrolysis work?
With the process of electrolysis, using a device called an epilator, every hair is individually treated according to its depth, thickness and direction of growth. A pre-sterilized, individual disposable probe (filament) is used only once for each patient, insuring complete safety. The probe is inserted into the hair follicle, which is actually a natural opening on the skin.
There is a slight tingling, warm sensation as a very small amount of controlled electrical current cauterizes and destroys the dermal papilla (hair matrix that controls the development and growth of the hair). This causes the hair to become dislodged. A forceps is then used to help the hair slide out effortlessly. There is no pulling sensation when the procedure is performed properly. The skin is not harmed in any way.

Eyebrow shaping
emphasises the eyes and helps to give character to the face. This can be done by either tweezing or waxing the unwanted hair away, leaving the skin feeling soft and free of hair.

Eyebrow tinting
is performed by mixing the colour of the tint with peroxide and brushing on the eyebrows, this is left for about a minute then removed leaving the brows darker.

Eyelash tinting
is performed to enhance the eyelashes making them appear longer and thicker. The lashes are tinted by brushing the colour of the tint on the lashes and left for about eight minutes then gently wiped away leaving them darker.

Ear piercing
Ear Piercing is performed by an ear piercing gun which shoots the stud through the lobe of the ear, so the stud is kept sterile. The stud should be left in the ear for six weeks and be cleaned regularly so there is no risk of infection.
