Very professional. Fantastic consultation and felt very welcoming.

Erica


Extremely clean and professional. Would definitely go again. All nail files used on a client (from new) are cleaned and placed into an envelope with the clients name on it for future use and any other items disposed of.

I love going to Rambling Rose, Debbie is super awesome.

Kathy


I love getting my fingernails and toenails done by Debbie. She is very professional, has great ideas and is lovely. I’m always getting comments on how great my nails look. Highly recommend her.

Lisa


I absolutely love getting my nails done at Rambling Rose! Debbie is not afraid to try out any of your ideas and make magic happen. Every time I have my nails done I get so many great comments on how beautiful they are. It’s lovely to sit and be pampered and have a great conversation with someone who is genuinely interested in what you have to say, this is something that is lacking in other nail salons that I have been to. If you want beautiful nails and an amazing experience at the same time, please contact Rambling Rose salon.

Thank you so much for your beautiful work for our special day on Saturday! It looked amazing! That day was unbelievable and we could not have asked for a more beautiful day with our friends and family. Thank you again and all the best.

Shirley

I would once again like to thank you so much for your efforts and friendly, professional service on our special day. I sometimes find myself wishing I could look so pretty all the time, you are magical!

I couldn’t recommend Debbie Page-Wood highly enough. I had the pleasure of working with Debbie in December 2012 where she was one of two make-up artists for our first professional musical in Westville, Durban. Debbie was responsible for applying make-up for 4-5 cast members for 2 rehearsals and 6 nights of shows over 2 weekends.

Raise the Roof

Debbie worked as a team with the other artist, however her experience and precise skills shone through. Debbie was punctual and reliable and did whatever it took to get us made up within our strict time frames. She fulfilled our make-up requirements and exceeded our expectations. We could not have asked for a more reliable make-up artist for our first show and really appreciated everything Debbie did for us and can’t recommend her highly enough.

As the manager of Rain Farm Game and Lodge, I have worked with Debbie for our past two Bridal Fairs (2011 and 2012) where she did the bridal make-up for the models in the fashion show and it is with great pleasure that I recommend her services to you.

Rain Farm

Debbie has always been very reliable and punctual, her work is of a high standard and she is a pleasure to work with. With her positive attitude and commitment to excellence you will not be disappointed in her efforts to deliver services of an excellent standard.

If you’re looking for one product that’s affordabl If you’re looking for one product that’s affordable, gentle, natural and yet a very effective way of removing all your make-up – eyes, face and even waterproof mascara – then you need to try the oil cleansing method.

Oil cleansing is suitable for all skin types, but the ratio of castor oil to vegetable oil will vary depending on your skin type. Using the wrong ratio will result in drying your skin out.  Read the full article:  https://www.ramblingrose.co.nz/the-oil-cleansing-method/

When clients book at Rambling Rose, they're sent a When clients book at Rambling Rose, they're sent an email confirmation of their appointment (so make sure you provide a valid email address that you actually use). An email reminder is automatically sent 24 hours before the appointment, and an automated text reminder one hour before the appointment starts. 

Simply not showing up for an appointment is just rude. 

A quick text to let me know you're running late or cannot make it will suffice - I often have people on a waitlist, able to fill an appointment at short notice.

Did you know that nail techs in New Zealand are no Did you know that nail techs in New Zealand are not legally allowed to cut live skin.
 
Removing live skin or cutting the eponychium (often mistaken for the cuticle - the thickened skin around the base of the nail where it joins the finger) is classed as minor surgery and can expose clients to increased risk of infection. 

I've often had clients ask why it doesn't hurt when I remove dry skin around their nails, and yet when they've had it done elsewhere it's been sore. The difference is I'm only removing dry, dead skin cells. I'm not removing any living tissue or skin still needed by your nails or fingers. 

A qualified nail tech should know the difference.
