I certainly do. You can buy a gift voucher for a specific treatment/package or opt for an amount of money. Feel free to purchase online or send me a message.
Do you do pamper parties?
We certainly do! Please have a look at the Pamper Parties section of the website, get in touch and we can create a bespoke one just for you and your friends.
Will you come to our hotel to do a pamper party?
Yes of course. We have a team of up to 4 therapists who can come and pamper you and your friends. Please have a look at the Pamper Parties section of the website, get in touch and we create the perfect package just for you and your friends.
Do you have a good choice of colours?
We currently have over 300 Nailchemy and OPI gel polishes, over 150 OPI regular polishes and a frightening amount of glitter, so I’d like to think the answer to your question is a resounding yes!
Can I buy a polish to match my gel polish?
Yes you can. We always have the most recently released colour collection in stock and can order any shades you want.
I’ve seen a picture of some nails I like on Pinterest. Can you do them for me?
Probably! We’ll certainly have a good go! If you have something particular in mind then it’s always helpful to let us know ahead of your appointment so we can have a think (and a play around!)
I’m not sure what design I want, can you help me decide?
Of course. We have a huge collection of polishes, colours, stamps, gems, foils, glitters and other art products for your perusal. I’m sure we’ll be able to come up with something together!
What’s the benefit of using NAILCHEMY & OPI GEL POLISHES? My friend gets a cheaper brand and her nails look good!
Nailchemy & OPI gel polishes are a pure gel formulation which means they are stronger and longer lasting with a highly durable shine that will last for weeks. Hybrid gel polish systems are not as strong and durable as pure gels.
Non professional products can cause allergic reactions, due to their formulation and ingredients and should be avoided.
I’ve never had a gel manicure before. How does it work?
A base coat is applied and cured for 30 seconds under a special LED light. We will then apply two layers of your chosen colour, curing for 30 or 60 seconds between each coat. Once any chosen nail art has been applied, your nails are finished with a clear top coat and a final curing. Hey presto! You’re left with beautiful shiny, smooth and dry nails.
How long will my manicure last?
Fuchsia Beauty clients find that their nails last for at least 14 days and usually far beyond this. Your expectations need to be realistic though; if your nails are thin, peeling or very flexible, your gel manicure may not last as long. If you are someone who uses your hands a lot, the gel can chip a little quicker. Don’t panic though. We can get them there together, with some simple home care advice and some maintenance on your part.
How WILL MY GEL POLISH BE removed?
We remove the gel polish without causing any damage to your natural nails, but you’re welcome to purchase the foil wraps and follow the advice given and do this yourself at home. Regular clients tend to just get their old gel removed free of charge at the start of their next manicure, meaning they have beautiful nails, all the time!
Can I do anything to help my manicure stay intact for longer?
It’s probably no surprise to hear that our gel manicures will last longer if you look after your nails and follow the aftercare advice. We recommend massaging one of our cuticle oils onto your cuticles and any dry, rough areas twice a day to replenish essential moisture. Don’t bite, pick or attempt to remove the gel without taking advice from a professional nail tech.
Ear Candling FAQs
What is Ear Candling?
How does Ear Candling actually work?
What happens during my Ear Candling treatment?
You will be placed in a comfortable position with your head supported by a pillow. The Biosun ear candle will be lit and gently placed just inside your ear. I steady the candle by placing my hands lightly around your ear area. You may hear a slight crackling or fizzing noise as the ear candle burns and you may also feel a pleasant warmth around the ear, head and neck area.
Each candle takes between 10-13 minutes to burn and has a filter inside to prevent anything going into the ear. After both ears have been treated, a soothing facial massage, including lymphatic drainage, is carried out, paying particular attention to the sinus areas.
