Have you had a Hot Wax?

For anyone who hasn’t had a hot wax treatment at Zen let me tell you why it’s the most effective yet almost painless wax you will ever experience.

Your therapist will prepare your skin with pre-wax oil before applying the wax, this stops it sticking to the skin so when the wax is removed it only lifts out your hair. Other waxes can stick to your skin & be quite painful on removal, & can even lift off your skin!! The hot wax will not do that. It causes much less irritation & little or no redness, leaves no sticky residue, is suitable for even the most sensitive of skins & removes hair as short as 1mm.

So what are you waiting for ladies, book in at any of our salons for a hot wax used for the following treatments – Bikini, G-string, Brazilian, Hollywood or Underarm wax.

Summer sun has begun!

The sun has been shining all week and the phones have been so busy! It’s time to get waxed, polish up those nails, and smoothen those feet as summer has finally arrived.

Did you know we have some great waxing combinations that save you money? For example if you book a full leg & bikini wax in a combo you save £6. Or a half leg, bikini and underarm combo would save you £8!

We also have a free Shellac upgrade voucher in our Zen Magazine that you can use on any Manicure or Pedicure. Shellac is applied like a polish, but lasts like a gel. It dries quickly under the lamps which means there’s no waiting around. Just polish and go! Our most popular options for the warmer weather have been French polish or Tropix (which is a bright peachy colour). We also have a really nice glittery polish that can be applied like a top coat and adds that extra sparkle to your fingers or toes. 

Get the works on your feet with our Spa or Deluxe pedicures. There’s nothing better than a foot spa and hard skin exfoliation after those long winter months. Your feet will be looking and feeling better than ever, especially if you decide to go for the Deluxe pedicure where warm paraffin wax will be applied. The wax is relaxing, helps relieve the tension in the feet, and also leaves them silky smooth and moisturized. Flip-flop perfection!

Waxing, Manicures, and Pedicures are available at all 3 of our Edinburgh locations. So give us a call today for your booking.

Life in HD

Want the perfect eyebrows? Then look no further than HD Brows!

HD Brows are a fantastic way to re shape your eyebrows to suit your face shape. Even the most over-plucked brows can be saved! This is fast becoming a huge trend and is leading the beauty industry at the moment with it being the choice of many celebrities. The treatment consists of seven unique procedures that are performed by highly trained and skilled stylists. These techniques include a unique combination of threading, waxing, tweezing, tinting and shaping to achieve the perfect eyebrow shape, colour and definition.

We recently had a client come into our Hanover Street salon to get her HD Brows done, and she was really happy with them. So much so that she has written a blog. You can read her experience of the treatment at Lotty’s Luxuries. She has included a before and after picture, and I must say her brows look fantastic! She already has quite thick brows, so the difference is more in the tidiness and definition. But with thinner brows the change is more dramatic as the HD treatment can really thicken them up.

We have *£10 off HD Brows for March 2012 at all 3 of our Salons. Give us a call for more information or to make your booking.

Jo loves waxing

People have always wondered where my love for waxing has come from,  for years I have always felt the same about it… I just love it! I love the immediate results you can get from waxing,  not having to worry about any stubble showing up a few hours later and I find it just as satisfying doing a waxing treatment as I do getting it done – werid I know! 

Bikini waxing has definitely changed over the years – gone are the days when there was just one type, now at Zen we have 4! The arrival of Hot wax has made waxing on the bikini line a lot less painful – this made a huge difference to Brazilian and Hollywood clients so there’s no more oohhhs and ahhhs being heard in the salon! You can also come visit us earlier than normal as the wax can grab onto shorter hairs without the dreaded tug and pull and there’s no going over the area over and over again! And aftercare….piece of cake! Just lightly exfoliate the area after and use tend skin to stop any ingrown hairs popping up…. Simple.

So now we can finally say we are no longer nervous about coming in for our bikini waxing all thanks to hot wax hurrrray.
