Beauty Therapy
Whether you are stressed and in need of a major unwinding session or just fancy treating yourself to a nice bit of pampering, these beauty experiences are perfect for you.
There are a variety of treatments and therapies available and you will be able to select your experience depending on what you fancy. Choose from simple pedicures, manicures and facials through to more complex spa experiences including chocolate body wraps. For the more adventurous why not try something a little more bizarre... a luxury FISH PEDICURE!
Prices start from as little as £12, meaning it will not cost the earth if you are in the mood for spoiling yourself. With locations throughout the country, you will never have to travel far to treat yourself to a much needed relaxing beauty therapy experience.
What are beauty therapies?
Beauty therapies can range from the treatment of particular areas of your body, such as your hands or face, right up to full body therapies. The idea of such treatments is to relax and let a specialist beauty therapist go to work, massaging, painting nails and providing spa equipment all designed to make you feel like a million dollars!
So what kind of beauty therapies and treatments are there?
For cheaper experiences why not treat yourself, or a friend, to a manicure or pedicure. Prices range from £19 to a little over £50 and you will be able to sit and unwind whilst a therapist shapes and paints your nails, provides cuticle treatment and generally caters to your every need, leaving you with spectacular hands and feet.
Another popular beauty treatment is the facial. Facials will revitalise your skin, release the tension in your facial muscles and help to remove the bags that hang under tired eyes. Some facial treatments include a facial massage, but almost all will include a face-pack to bring clean, fresh feeling skin. You will be cleansed and moisturised to make you look, and feel, ten years younger. Simply sit and unwind whilst a trained beauty technician looks after you, massaging and moisturising to loosen up tired muscles and lighten up baggy eyes. Again, expect to pay around £12-£40 depending on the length of your facial and the treatments used.
For the more adventurous beauty connoisseurs why not try a fish pedicure? Sit down and treat yourself to a cup of tea whilst the toothless ‘garra rufa’ fish swim around your feet, nibbling away all of the dead skin to leave your feet feeling smooth and looking great. The tiny fish will remove all of the rough and dead skin from your heels, balls of the feet and toes. This sensation is an odd one, but guaranteed not to hurt. Do not be afraid to give this unique experience a try; you (and your feet) will feel great afterwards.
The garra rufa fish are also referred to as ‘Doctor Fish’, reddish log suckers, nibble fish or physio fish and are native to the river beds of many Middle Eastern countries - typically Iran and Iraq. Their nicknames are given due to their use for the treatment of skin conditions in spas and non-medical procedures. They only eat dead areas of skin, leaving healthy epidermis free to grow.
Despite the exotic nature of this beauty therapy, the price remains reasonably cheap. You should expect to pay around £25 per person for a 25 minute session during which time the fish will ensure that your feet are as smooth as the day you were born!
Locations for any of these treatments are available throughout the UK, so check the website for the location closest to you. Almost every county in the country will offer one or more of these experiences, so you are never far away from a relaxing beauty therapy experience.
Spas
If you have a little bit more money to spend on relaxing beauty therapies and treatments, then why not try one of the exclusive spa experiences on offer?
The chocolate body wrap option offers an experience not to be forgotten. Enter the therapy room where you will then be covered head to toe in chocolate. As the cocoa begins to set, it starts to work naturally into your skin, providing nutrients and cleansing deeply. Feel revitalised and refreshed as the chocolate is removed, before being taken for a relaxing back massage to cap off your unique therapy treatment.
Offering a wide variety of beauty therapy treatments and set in locations countrywide, these spas frequently offer longer experiences, the prices are slightly steeper and you should expect to pay anywhere from £50 to £250, depending on the type of treatment and experience you would like to enjoy.
Verdict
Considering the busy nature of modern life, a beauty therapy experience is the perfect way to relax and unwind. Treat yourself to the pampering that you deserve or come and remove any trace of stress from your frame, as trained technicians massage your body and tone and cleanse your skin.
Alternatively, prepare for an important occasion or a night out with one of the beauty sessions, guaranteed to leave you sparkling, feeling gorgeous and ready to go. Look your best as one of the therapists paints and shapes to have you looking splendid in no time at all!
The treatments are relatively cheap and form part of a wide range of beauty techniques. The best bit is you can keep coming back again and again - find the true meaning of beauty and relaxation at the hands of our technicians who will help you to feel like a new person!
