Clumpy Mascara: How to be clump free

November 18, 2019 | Articles, How to ... & Tutorials | Leave a Comment

Mascara has the ability to emphasise your eyes – even with little or no other make-up – but clumpy mascara can immediately ruin the look you’re creating, unless of course you’re aiming for a “spider legs,” 1960’s, Twiggy look. Clumpy mascara is something that many battle with. I find that the trick to getting the…

Gel vs Liquid Eyeliner

July 15, 2019 | Articles, How to ... & Tutorials | Leave a Comment

Continuing on on from last month’s article on pencil eyeliner, I thought I’d continue with the eyeliner theme and do a comparison between gel and liquid eyeliner. Gel eyeliner is a creamy product that comes packaged in a small pot, and once applied, looks just like liquid eyeliner.  Liquid eyeliner is liquid, hence the name,…

Applying eyeliner can be tricky, especially if it’s something you’ve never done before. If you’re just starting out and have never used an eyeliner before, I would recommend starting with a pencil.  These are easier to apply and will allow you to master the art of drawing the line as close to your lashes as…

How to wear coloured eyeliner

September 18, 2013 | Articles, How to ... & Tutorials | Leave a Comment

Wearing coloured eyeliner can be tricky and most women avoid it for that reason.  A simple rule to remember is that opposites attract, so instead of picking your favourite colour which may not necessarily compliment your eyes, rather choose a complimentary colour. Complimentary colours are those that lie opposite each other on a colour wheel. …

By appointment only. No appointment, no service. By appointment only.  No appointment, no service. 
This is not an commercial salon with multiple nail technicians and a receptionist ... there is only me. 

The client sitting in front of me is the one paying for my time and my undivided attention, so if you choose to ignore the BIG 'by appointment only' sign out front, you will be turned away. Arriving without an appointment (even if you're just wanting to purchase product or a gift voucher) and expecting to be served is not acceptable - please use the online booking system to make an appointment.  Appointments for product purchases or pick-ups are free and enables me to set a few minutes aside to serve you without inconveniencing or interrupting anyone else's time to relax and be pampered.

Please be considerate and do the right thing.

Please do not book appointments for children under Please do not book appointments for children under 16, or bring them with to your appointment. If you do, your appointment will be cancelled. If you still show up with your child in tow, you will be turned away and charged for a late cancelled for non-compliance of the salon's T&CS.  I get it, people don't read, but there are valid reasons why I don't allow children under 16 in my salon:

- there are dangerous chemicals and breakable products within reach, and children are compelled to touch everything, even if they're well-mannered and behave
- I am not a babysitter and cannot watch the child and perform your service 
- I cannot perform a SAFE manicure or pedicure on mum if child is constantly bumping her
- distractions from children slow down the service and impact my other clients appointment times, which is not fair to them
- children's nails (under 16) are still soft and developing and cannot handle the prep needed for gel polish
 - acrylic and extensions should not be placed on soft, still developing nails (anyone under 16). This can cause irreparable damage if the extension is accidentally bumped or ripped off
- children under 16 do not sit still.  I refuse to work on them.
- my salon, my space, my rules.  If you don't like it, please feel free to book elsewhere.
