Can you believe this year is nearly over already? Just crazy how fast it has flown. But with mixed emotions, I feel a lot of us are looking forward to a new fresh start with a new year.
So come on ladies, who’s had their Christmas beauty treatments booked in so far? It’s the first time in two years we can have a kind of “normal” Christmas again with work parties and being with family. We must look and feel confident to be party ready so get along to your local salon for a pamper!
Some of us still might not have been back to the beauty salon since the pandemic started, so this is the perfect chance and excuse to make a booking and have some self-love time.
Nails:
It is fair to say, a lot of us have our nails done all year round. With the gorgeous winter collections finally arriving in salons there should be some stunning colours to choose from.
Greens, gold and red are in this year with the must have colours. Why not try some glitter cuffs to add some festive sparkle?
Lashes:
Who doesn’t want lashes for Christmas? I mean this is definitely my favourite treatment that I cannot live without. But let me help you decide if you don’t know what to have.
If you love a strip lash look then I would recommend having Russian Volume lashes. These are individually made during the treatment applying 2-6 lashes on one natural lash. This will give you a beautiful full look for that party season! Russian Volume do normally take around 2 hours, if not longer depending on where you get these done. If you are short of time, you can always have premade lashes which give the same look at Russian but faster to apply to save you time in the salon. The price will roughly be the same.
If you haven’t had lash extensions before, then going for classic lashes would be perfect. A natural look for a bit more than a mascara feels.
Please remember for all lash appointments a patch test should be carried out.
Maybe lash extensions aren’t for you or you could be allergic to the glue, so a beautiful option for you would be a lash lift! A lash lift will lift your natural lashes giving you the illusion of longer, curled lashes and with a darker tint. So need for mascara if you didn’t want to.
Brows.
Your brows are sisters and not twins! We have all heard that saying right? But we don’t want to mess them up by hacking them ourselves. It is so easy to get carried away. Always go to a professional for this as eyebrows are exceptionally hard to regrow.
For your brows you could go for the classic wax and tint option, which we call KG Brows, a wax, shape, tint and trim if needed, to last you 4-6 weeks.
Or the latest craze which is Brow Lamination, a treatment that sets your hair in a different position to give them a fuller look. Honestly it is such a stunning treatment and great if you’ve always wished for fuller brows. Again, you will need a patch test for these treatments.
Tan.
Even though we might be covered up this time of year, you cannot beat a tan! It makes us feel so much better!
Spray tans are great and can now get tans where you only need to keep them on a few hours to develop before washing off. Or you can grab a sunbed and get that vitamin D we are all craving at this time for year. Make sure your sunbeds are 0.3 compliant.
I hope that helps you choose what treatments you should get this Christmas time.
