Similar to Swedish massage, deep tissue massage is mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, including strains and sports injuries. Sustained pressure is applied, with slow, deep strokes targeting the inner layers of the muscles and the connective tissues.  

It stretches and loosens tight muscles, improves joint flexibility through circulation, releases endorphins and reduces tension and stress.

DEEP TISSUE BNS MASSAGE 

An eyebrow wax and tint involves shaping the perfect brow (the waxing part), before applying a semi-permanent dye (the tint). This effect produces a more defined, more dramatic, and more clearly structured eyebrow.

EYEBROW WAX AND TINT

Patch test required 48 hours prior to treatment 

Henna brows involve applying a paste made from henna powder and other natural ingredients to the eyebrows. 

The paste is carefully applied to the brow area and left to dry, allowing the henna to stain the skin and adhere to the eyebrow hairs. 

The longer the paste is left on, the more intense and long-lasting the results will be.

Eyelash tinting is a process in which dye is applied to the eyelashes to darken them. This can give the appearance of darker, fuller lashes without needing mascara or other makeup products. 

LASH TINT 

LVL lash lift creates length, volume and lift with your own natural lashes.  No mascara, no extensions and no maintenance.  
With the right aftercare, lash lifts can last up to 8 weeks and will grow out with your natural lash cycle.  

LVL LASH LIFT 

Classic lashes are the perfect way to enhance natural lashes. With the classic technique, one individual lash is applied to one natural lash to create a set of longer and thicker lashes. Depending on the desired look, there are a variety of curls, lengths, and thicknesses to choose from.

CLASSIC LASHES 

A Hybrid lash treatment is a combination of two techniques: Volume (or Russian) and Individual (classic) lash extensions 
Taking the best bits from both treatments, Hybrid Lashes will give you volume and length, resulting in a wispy, textured lash extension look.

HYBRID LASHES 

Volume eyelash extensions vary from the natural look which adds more length than volume. Volume lashes instead give a fuller, thicker lash look. The lashes range from 2D-6D – meaning 2 fake lashes to 6 fake lashes per one natural lash.

VOLUME LASHES 

It is important to get lash infills every 2-3 weeks. Each treatment requires a different time period between each infill, so be sure to check this with your technician before you leave the salon. If possible, book your infills there and then so you don’t forget. Attending regular maintenance sessions will preserve the condition of your natural lashes, as well as retaining the volume you desire.

During MFR therapy the focus is not specifically on your muscles, the focus is on releasing tension in your facial tissues.

Normally, fascia is flexible and stretchy. But it’s strong. It provides structural support to your body and protects your muscles.  Fascia is usually able to move without any restrictions However when your body experiences any kind of trauma, your fascia loses its flexibility.  It becomes tightened and more rigid. The tightness can lead to pain and loss of motion, which can affect your quality of life.  Tightened trigger points can restrict your muscle and joint movement, MFR therapy focuses on releasing tension in these triggerpoints.
