  1. Christmas Gift Guide for Her

    Comments Off on Christmas Gift Guide for Her

    It’s less than 5 weeks to go till Christmas…can you believe it?!

    Some of us (me!) struggle to think of imaginative gifts every single year, which is why I love trawling the internet and magazines for gift guides. Here is Beauty Haven’s gift guide for that special woman in your life 🙂

    Something that most women love is fragrance. Boots is fabulous for buying perfume itself or gift sets that include perfume. My personal favourite is the Dolce & Gabbana Miniatures set at £39 as I get my favourite fragrance (Dolce & Gabbana Desire) as well as being able to try out others too!

    OPI release nail polish collections in time for the festive season, and we’ve got them here for you at Beauty Haven. We have quite a few in stock, but our favourite set is the “Trend on Ten” which includes 10 mini polishes perfect for the festive season as well as the rest of the year at £28.50. We have others starting at £13.99 as well 🙂

    Accessories such as purses and scarves are a great present. River Island have some beautiful purses (as well as handbags to match if you’re feeling generous!) starting from £10.

    This oversized checked scarf from ASOS.com is bang on trend for autumn/winter – so cozy and only £18! Image 1 of ASOS Oversized Black Check Square Scarf

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Candles are a gift that you can never go wrong with. Here at Beauty Haven we have a beautiful collection of Kelticandles which are made here in Belfast and smell divine. Prices start from £8.99 and there are some stunning Christmassy scents as well as aromatherapy scented candles (which can be used as massage oil once the wax has melted – perfect for a girlfriend or wife!)

    Finally, if you’ve got a girl who has everything gift vouchers are the way to go! You can either get one to the sum of a certain treatment your lady has been hinting towards, or just buy it and let her choose her own treat 🙂

    Please don’t hesitate to call into the salon for ideas!

  3. Goodbye Razor!

    Comments Off on Goodbye Razor!

    Imagine no more shaving, messy hair removal creams or waxing. We have the solution !!

    These traditional methods of hair removal are more frequently being replaced by laser hair removal. At Beauty Haven we use the  Ellipse intense pulse light system which produces short, safe bursts of light emitted from a flash lamp remove unwanted hair from all body sites in minutes.

    The Ellipse I2PL system filters the light from the flash lamp to ensure that only the correct wavelengths reach your skin.The pigment in your hair ( melanin) absorbs the light and converts it to heat, it is the heat that destroys the hair follicle.

    Ellipse clinical studies have proven that 80-95% reduction can be achieved within 6 treatments. These studies have been accepted for publication in leading medical journals and document the safety and effectiveness of Ellipse I2PL treatments. Ellipse is the first manufacturer to have a 10 year follow up study providing long term efficiency of hair removal.

    No system on the market can claim 100% permanent hair removal as hair removal is influenced by age, hormonal changes in the body etc etc. Therefore all clients who have either Laser/IPL treatments can experience hair growing back/new hair forming at some point.

    The Ellipse I2PL safety record is second to none,and all ellipse operators are trained to a very high standard.

    * A patch test is required prior to treatment.

    * We are an RQIA registered salon. All our inspections can be found online by visiting www.rqia.org.uk

     

     

     

     

     

  4. Sparkling Skin.

    Comments Off on Sparkling Skin.

    As the festive season approaches, many of us will step up our skincare regime to ensure the complexion is glowing throughout he Christmas period.

    Microdermabrasion will provide you with instant results. The procedure involves the therapist mechanically exfoliating the  top layer of your skin, the removal of dead skin cells will reveal a softer, brighter and more youthful skin.

    The depth of exfoliation will depend on how many times the area is treated, the combined vacuum effect stimulates the deeper layers of the skin and increases the blood supply in the epidermal layers of the skin for skin regeneration. The treatment is suitable for a vast array of concerns, such as acne scarring, skin prone to breakout activity, premature ageing and pigmentation.

    Priced at £60 for one treatment or a course of 6 for £300 you will be sure to dazzle over the party season with your refreshed and revitalised complexion.

  5. All I want for Christmas …….

    Comments Off on All I want for Christmas …….

    Here at Beauty Haven we have Christmas all wrapped up. Here are some of our favourite Christmas gifts this year:

    The beautiful He Shi Gift set is all you will need for Christmas and New year nights out.  The liquid tan is ‘ a see where it goes’ formula so no patches or streaks, just an instant golden colour. Priced at just £20 this will make a fantastic stocking filler.

    We have 5 different Dermalogica Christmas box sets to choose from starting at just £17.50 for the Body Therapy Favourites kit. The 100ml moisturisers come with 2 free gifts in a beautifully presented box, an indulgent Christmas gift!

    We are obsessed with the gorgeous KeltiCandles we have in stock for Christmas – we can’t stop smelling them every chance we get!

    Other than the scents, KeltiCandles are different in the BEST way. Did you know that they’re 100% plant based made with soy wax so they don’t give off that black soot which makes them perfect for asthmatics! PLUS if you spill the wax it easily cleans up with JUST soapy water. Get yourself into the salon and snap one up before they go, prices start from £3.99.

    Not sure what products that special someone uses? Why not buy a Gift Voucher? Dermalogica boxed gift vouchers with free travel size daily microfoliant and skin hydrating booster will be sure to please on Christmas morning. * while stocks last

    As always, OPI never fail to deliver with their beautiful array of Christmas gifts. Call in and have a look at the festive holiday collection.

    We hope we have given you some ideas, if you would like further information on any of our gifts listed here please don’t hesitate to give us a call ……

    Happy Shopping !!!

     

  6. Banish Dry Skin!!

    Comments Off on Banish Dry Skin!!

    Winter is definitely a love or hate season !! We love to wrap up warm and sit by an open fire in a cosy pub, there’s Halloween, closely followed by all the festivities as Christmas approaches, but we really loathe dark, cold mornings, icy roads, car is freezing first thing in the morning and worst of all dry skin … eek !!!

    We can’t do much about the weather, but here are some suggestions to ensure your skin stays silky smooth, and doesn’t give in to the harsh climate and central heating this winter.

    1. Drink water. Yes, thats right 2 litres a day please. Do you have a bottle of water on your desk right now? Staying hydrated is important, and not just because it stops your skin from drying out. Drinking water is essential to your health: did you know the body is composed of about 60% water? To stay healthy, it’s important to replace the fluid we lose when we breathe, sweat or urinate. So go on fill up your water bottle now !!!

    2. Moisturise. If you suffer from dry skin, then the right moisturiser can work wonders. Ask one of our skin care therapists for advice if your are unsure which product is best for you. Look out for moisturisers that include oil or oil-like ingredients (that’s ceramics, dimethicone and squalene among others) and water-holding ingredients, such as Glycerin and Lanolin.  You’re skin will be looking fabulous in no time.

    3. Eat right. You are what you eat, as the saying goes, so if you want to have a glowing facade, then filling your face with foods including avocado, oily fish, nuts and leafy greens will help you look radiant – and keep you healthy.
