With less than six weeks to Christmas, it's time to get organised. Presents must be purchased and wrapped, but more importantly have you booked your nails, brows and waxing appointments yet?

I'd highly advise you start booking as I have never seen so many people so super organised. With being locked down for so long people really are looking forward to Christmas this year. It might be their first time out meeting people in a long time so you really want to look your best and more importantly - feel your best. A bit of pampering can be so relaxing and balancing, and just what you need - but don't leave it until the last minute as appointments are filling up fast.

This year so far eyelash lifting is the number one sought after treatment and a patch test is required. It works on lifting the natural lashes and is suitable for all ages. It includes tinting to darken the lighter hairs which gives a real pop to the eyes.

Eyebrow lamination is number two at the moment and works extremely well on older ladies' brows which might have lightened during the hormonal changes through the menopause. The treatment itself helps to straighten the hair and lift and sculpt them into position. It includes tinting also.

The Gelish two-week manicure is a fantastic way to have your nails done for both Santa and the New Year. Some clients start in early December with their first set and by the week before Christmas get the second set so they have a bit of length.

With party nights out we will have to put on the make-up again, and it always goes on better with fresh skin. Book a detox facial in November and your skin will thank you for it. It will help peel off the layers of dead cells with salicylic acid, detox the peptides, and gives the deepest hydration with hyaluronic acid to promote anti-ageing and collagen production. Your make-up will glide on and you will be glowing for all the family snaps.
