waxing

Although we can not predict or guarantee who may react, most clients do not experience reactions beyond redness and minor irritation. Hair may break at the root during waxing, if hair is thin or weak, causing some hairs to grow out faster. Please follow these guidelines to minimise irritation and possible break outs.

• Stay away from direct sunlight/sunbeds and heat e.g. saunas or hot showers for 48 hours after having a waxing treatment.
• Keep skincare products to a minimum for 24 hours after waxing, then after 24 hours it is vital that you use a quality moisturiser (available from our ESPA homecare range).
• For long term improvements book in for regular treatments and do not shave between wax treatments.
• For ingrowing hairs, use an exfoliator or ESPA body brush, both available from our homecare range.

manicure & pedicure

gel nails

• Wear gloves when washing up or using household detergents. 
• IIf any adverse reactions occurs: rash, redness, inflammation of any kind around the nails please contact us immediately.
• Do not try to remove the gel yourself as this can cause damage to your natural nails. Please arrange a Soak Off appointment to remove the gel professionally.
• Tinted lotions, suntan creams and hair products may discolour clear or light coloured gels so wash your hands thoroughly after use or use gloves to protect them.
• Massage cuticle oil daily to keep your nails looking good and to nourish the natural nail underneath.
• Indulge in regular maintenance appointments to ensure your nails stay looking at their best.

spray tan

What should I do BEFORE my St. Tropez spray tan treatment?

• Skin should be free from self tan, perfume, deodorant and aromatherapy oils
• Waxing or shaving should be completed at least 24 hours prior to the treatment
• The evening or morning before your treatment, exfoliate your entire body with St.Tropez Body Polish. Pay special attention to dry areas of your body such as hands, elbows, knees and feet

What should I do AFTER my St. Tropez spray tan treatment?

• Do not shower or bathe for a minimum of 8 hours after your treatment
• Do not participate in any activity which may cause perspiration for at least 12 hours after the treatment
• The guide colour can be left on overnight although it may transfer onto bed linen. It will wash out of cotton, but not so easily from man-made fibres or wool.

• Exfoliate your skin with St. Tropez Body Polish every 2-3 days to ensure even fading.
