Each phased component has been designed to perform a specific function and provides optimum strength and versatility for a wide range of nail types.

The nails are filed to a desired length and cuticles tidied and the nail plate prepared. Your nail technician will then speak to you about the best extension method. The extensions are then applied and the relevant gel finish added in order to create those beautiful but natural looking nails. Nails are finally buffed and finished with a UV High gloss sealant in order to give you that glossy wet look that will last until your next infill appointment.

Nail Extensions for nail biters with in most cases require a gel that is 'custom' blended in order to hide the damaged natural nail and to create the illusion of longer nail beds. Please also note that infills are required every 2 weeks for the short term as they tend to become unstable very quickly. Your nail technician will advise you on this during the initial consultation. Please ask if you have any further questions.

Infill Colour Overlay (90mins) - £25.00

The gel nails are buffed smooth and filed as required and filled in to create a new and fresh set of nails. This pricing is based upon a 3 week time line. Infills that are required after this time will be charged at £5 per additional week. I would suggest that a 4 week infill though would be most peoples limit.

Toe Nails can also be lengthened or repaired if you have had the odd accident.

Regular infill's are advised in order to keep your toes looking fresh. Your toe nails naturally grow slower than your finger nails, so infill's are not required so often. This popular treatment gives a flawless and permanent colour to your toes.

Infills are usually done from 3 - 6 weeks. The infill process is described where a gel colour change is NOT required. Infill price is the same as the full treatment price as normally removal of most of the gel is required ready for reapplication.

Where clients require a new colour gel, which will require the removal of product prior to the fresh application. The full treatment price is also charged.

Waxing

A fast, efficient and hygienic way of removing unwanted body hair for up to 6 weeks, using the best active ingredients. Wax has been formulated to provide impeccable waxing service for guaranteed customer satisfaction and suits all skin types. The waxing method that I use is Warm Wax or as often know as 'strip wax'. So warm wax is applied to the skin using a wooden spatula, and the wax is taken off using a muslin strip.

The ultimate hygiene methods are adopted at Essential Beauty and we do not re-use our wooden spatulas. Once the Spatula has been used and has touched a clients skin, the spatula is disposed off. This ensures that the spatula is not reused and placed back into the warm wax pot thus contaminating the clean wax. Additionally, where appropriate, non-latex gloves are warn too.

The wax itself is infused with Tea Tree to assist in a more comfortable waxing treatment, but also for its healing and antiseptic properties. The Pre Wax Cleanser and the Post Treatment creams are also infused with Tea Tree for their antiseptic properties. This minimises any redness or reactions that may be linked to the waxing process.

Full Leg wax and Bikini Line - £25.00
Full Leg Wax - £18.00
Half Leg wax and Bikini Line - £20.00
Half Leg Wax - £12.00

Please avoid any heat treatments, i.e. sunbeds, sauna's or hot baths after any
