Fashion, health & beauty Beauty on the menu It’s been only a year since Rachael Williams took over the Beau Belles salon in Shanklin, but in that time she has added a whole range of new health and beauty treatments to its growing menu. Her team of seven specialists can offer everything from healing massage, hot stones and reflexology treatments to pampering sessions, eyelash extensions and gel nail services. The salon’s holistics specialist is Kristie, who as well as being the go-to person for massage-related treatments, has also recently undertaken a course in intimate waxing, using a much more effective hot wax, rather than warm. Her colleague Elesha’s area of expertise is lashes, and she is now offering the brand new Russian Volume Lashes treatment, to deliver extra thick, sweeping eyelashes. The salon is best known for its nail services, and in fact many clients are surprised to discover the wide range of other treatments and therapies that are on offer. Says Rachael: “We still get people who come in and say they thought we were just a nail salon – and we’re delighted to show them we’re actually much more than that!” For more information or advice, or to book an appointment, call 01983 866441. You can find Beau Belles at 110 Regent St, Shanklin, PO37 7AP. Creating eyebrow perfection If you’ve tried everything from pencil, powder and gel, to stencils and tints – but find that your brows still look a bit too sparse for your liking, then microblading could be the solution for you. This increasingly popular treatment places fine hair strokes to create a natural look that leaves semi-permanent results. Microblading is actually a form of tattooing – although it’s not as scary as it sounds. Unlike normal tattooing, a handheld tool is used instead of a machine, to implant the pigment under the skin. Hair- like strokes are drawn in with a tool to mimic the natural hairs in your brows. Anu Natural Beauty in Bembridge is now able to offer this exciting new treatment, and their fully qualified therapist is enjoying the process of creating beautiful new brows for clients. The treatment cost is just £300, which includes an initial consultation, first appointment and then a six-week follow up appointment. Pop in or call to book the consultation with Anu Natural Beauty’s therapist Abbie, who will talk you through the treatment process. Find Anu Natural Beauty at 1 Lane End Court, Lane End, Bembridge, PO35 5UE or call 01983 872137. www.visitilife.com 101
