Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion treatments remove the thicker, uneven outer layer of your skin by gently sanding it using very fine crystals. This skin rejuvenation procedure helps to treat minor scarring, discolouration, sun damage, and stretch marks. There are also no risks of scarring or pain, and the procedure takes an hour or less! This is great if you’re on a time crunch and are looking for super quick facial treatments. Its results last up to a month, and if you want to maintain it, we recommend booking regular sessions.
Haircut
You know, sometimes all you need is to trim your locks a few inches shorter. Haircuts refresh your look since your hair frames your entire face. Your hairstyle influences your whole aura, so come in for a touch-up or a trim every few weeks. It will keep frizzy strands and split ends at bay, and it will keep your hair healthy. If you want more pizzazz, ask your hairstylist to change your colour. It’s the festive season, after all, and we all deserve to highlight (no pun intended!) our best features.
