Yes. We endeavour to make ear piercing as quick, painless and stress-free for yourself and your child. We offer single and double operators and have a variety of jewellery to choose from or order in. We use the Inverness piercing system. The jewellery used is designed to produce less shock to the area when piecing for better recovery and healing in comparison to traditional gun methods.

No. However, children under 16 must have parental consent and a parent present at the time of the piercing.

The price range will depend entirely on the precious metals and stones. Some of the options range from surgical-grade steel up to 24k gold. Our therapists will be able to give you a rough estimate upon enquiry.
If you order a piece of jewellery, please allow at least a week for the pieces to be delivered. Again, our therapists will be able to communicate with you an estimate of delivery time.
Treatment FAQs
Waxing
-
We understand how frustrating it can be to have sensitive skin. We offer three different waxing options to best suit your skin's needs.
- Strip wax for normal skin types
- Warm wax for our sensitive skin clients
- Sugaring for those with ultra-sensitive skin
Additionally, we have a specialist threader that works with us on select days. If you'd prefer threading, bookings must be made a week in advance.
-
All waxing or shaving should be done 1 to 2 days before your appointment. Additionally, leading up to your spray tan, moisturise consistently for the best results. Shower before your appointment and leave the skin bare. No moisturisers and or deodorants and perfumes. Wear loose-fitting dark clothing. We will provide you with disposables if you wish to wear them. Otherwise, you can wear your own clothing or nothing at all.
-
All of the tans we use have a developing time of 2 hours. We have four tans to choose from, each with a different base colour to suit every individual. Your therapist will advise you on the best time to leave your tan on. Please do not let the tan over process. Leaving tan on the skin for too long can result in unevenness, patchiness, or discolouration.
-
When rinsing off the tan for the first time, rinse with lukewarm water and let the bronzer rinse off. Please don’t use any products during this first rinse. Pat yourself dry and continuously moisturise daily for the best results. We also have tan extenders available for purchase, which can be applied three to four days after to boost longevity.

We offer natural eyelash extensions in class, hybrid or volume styles. Our salon does not perform mega-volume lash extensions.
Arrive at your appointment with makeup on, as cleaning the lashes will take a large chunk out of the application time. You will be lying down with your eyes closed for a while, so be sure to wear something comfortable to cuddle up under the blanket. Between appointments, cleaning and brushing your lashes every day is essential. Making sure to avoid steam, water and high heat. -
After your appointment, keep your lashes dry, avoiding water and steam for 24 hours.
Between appointments, cleaning and brushing your lashes every day is essential. Clean your lashes daily using a water-based cleanser such as micellar water. Make sure to avoid steam, water and high heat where possible. Do not rub or pull at your lashes.
If you want to have your lashes removed, please don’t attempt this yourself by pulling at them. You’ll only ruin your natural lashes. Instead, book an appointment with us, and we will remove them without harming your natural lashes.
Eyelash Extensions

Hydrodermabrasion is a much gentler solution than the more commonly known microdermabrasion. Hydrodermabrasion uses a delicate suction device to provide a deep cleanse using water and oxygen. It deeply exfoliates the skin while hydrating.
-
It reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, overall skin texture and general hydration—the suction action of the device promotes lymphatic drainage, leaving your skin plump and rejuvenated. Hydrodermabrasion is a fantastic addition to an existing skincare routine.
-
If you're looking to resolve specific skin issues such as acne scarring and pigmentation, six sessions with a session every 3-4 weeks is ideal. The treatment should not be relied upon solely. If you want to see overall results as with any skincare treatment, combining this treatment with a healthy lifestyle, hydration, and regular skincare routine is best.
-
Yes! Hydrodermabrasion is an excellent one-off treatment for those looking to hydrate the skin and enjoy some much needed self care.
