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.

Stars in our Eyes at Teviot Place!

Further to our blog post about the stars dropping in to the new salon at Hanover street for treatments, (‘Cheryl’ and ‘Nancy’ from Hollyoaks, and Sam Faiers from The Only Way is Essex), we thought we’d mention some of the stars who’ve recently visited the Teviot salon for treatments.

Comedian Russell Kane (winner of last years Fosters Comedy Award) was in at the Teviot Place salon for a massage, which he described as “mind blowing”.  He liked it so much he immediately re-booked and bought a voucher for a friend! He was in Edinburgh for the festival performing his show ‘Manscaping’, which explores the ridiculous state of masculinity in the modern world.

We also had British acting legend Simon Callow (star of cult movies such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Shakespeare in Love, etc) in  for treatments at Teviot Place. He was in a one man show about a transvestite and needed us to make him beautiful (and when I say us, I mean our therapist Becky). After his waxing he said “she’s a brute that girl, a brute!”  Beauty is pain Simon, beauty is pain.

Well it’s been really eventful during the festival month! We’ve enjoyed catering to the stars, and hopefully they’ll come back to us for their treatments next August.

HD Brows “I’ll never look back!”

I recently completed my training for HD eyebrows, and I am really enjoying doing them! HD brows are a new revolutionary 7 step procedure to get the perfect brows. HD brows are eyebrow artistry as it can transform even the most over plucked brows over a course of treatments.

It is much more than just a regular eyebrow shape! First of all the brows are tinted to suit the individuals colourings. We then wax, tweeze and thread the brows. The aim is to create a more angular shape rather than rounded. To finish the treatment off, some mineral powder is applied and any areas that need to be left to grow are penciled in. The HD Brow Beater then sets and holds the brows in place.

The trainer Nilam was fantastic and taught us how to assess each individual’s brows to create an HD shape to suite everyone’s face shape.

I was very nervous about having my own brows done as they are very blonde and I have never tinted them before. The finished result however is unbelievable! My eyebrows are so much fuller and defined now! I’ll never look back!
