This weekend, Kelly and Gemma went along to the EXCEL arena in London for the Professional Beauty show. This year, the trade show was set to be the biggest yet, with even more brands and companies showing than in previous years. The show is always a brilliant way to network with different people in the industry, and catch up with contacts established since being in the beauty business. 

Some of the brands we use in the salon, such as Lycon Waxing, Nouveau Lashes and Fake Bake, were featured at the show with their own stalls and set up, so it was a great chance to speak to some of the reps we have built up connections with over the years.
Attending the beauty show gives us a chance to research new products and innovations in beauty, so we can keep ahead of the trends and let you all know what’s going to be the next best thing and the upcoming trends for the next season. We’ve seen a few bits we think are going to be big over the next year, so we’ll keep you posted with what’s next!

This year, Nell McAndrew opened the show, with former TOWIE star turned salon owner, Amy Childs, also making an appearance. Attendees at the arena ranged from celebrities, industry insiders, salon owners, magazine journalists, beauty bloggers, and students.

With lots of tweets over the weekend about how great the show has been, we’re already looking forward to next year.

Did any of you get to the Professional Beauty Show over the weekend? What did you think about the whole event?

Stay gorgeous,

Two of our girls, Gemma and Nicole, attended the Universal Contour Wrap training session last week to become qualified teachers and trainers for the brand. This wrap is known for helping clients lose inches all over their body, with a guarantee of at least 6 inches being lost in just one wrap treatment.

The week was quite eventful to say the least for the girls, who as well as attending the course, also found themselves getting locked out of car parks and stuck on the M25 with a flat tyre! Aside from a few hiccups, the course on the whole was very successful for the girls, who are both now fully qualified to teach the Universal Contour Wrap to aspiring therapists and students.

Whilst on the course, the girls learnt various teaching methods, how to structure a lesson, practical methods and appropriate theory explanations. Taking into consideration the different ways in which every individual learns, they had to set up a lesson plan that would suit all types of learners and be easy to understand and informative. Due to the wrap being a very practical (and quite messy!) treatment, it is important to know how to perform the treatment in the correct way to ensure maximum effectiveness and inch loss, and so the client feels comfortable. Having fully completed the course and becoming qualified teachers, Gemma and Nicole are looking forward to training new therapists, and improving their own teaching skills along the way.

As well as completing the above, Gemma has also recently qualified to become a teaching assessor in beauty therapy, which means she can now assess the skills of those learning different aspects of beauty therapy, and assess whether or not they are ready tocontinue further in their chosen career path.

Well done to both Indulgence girls, and we look forward to the next up-and-coming venture for us!
If you fancy trying the Universal Contour Wrap with one of our experts, give us a call on 0208 304 7220, and book in for an appointment today. One wrap treatment is £75, with a course of three at £225.

We hope to see you soon,

We can’t believe we’re already in mid-February – the year is going so quickly already. Indulgence is as busy as ever, and our girls are working their hardest, as usual. With lots of exciting developments in the pipeline (we can’t wait to share the good news with you all soon!) we have a few things happening this week…

Manager Jamie-Leigh is off on a Dermalogica lunch on Tuesday, to network with the head-honchos of the brand and talk to other salons continuing to build their businesses during this tough time in the recession. We can’t wait to hear what Jamie gets up to, and hope she has a successful business lunch. We’ll keep you all posted.

Gemma and Nicole are also having a busy week, and are travelling to Sussex for a couple of days to hone their skills working with the Universal Contour Wrap, for advanced course training. This is a popular treatment with our regular clients, who love being able to see instant results from this inch-loss, skin smoothing wrap; perfect as preparation for a special occasion, or helping to kick-start getting your body back into shape. We hope the girls have a great time, and learn lots, so we can all benefit from their new skills!

What’s everyone else up to this week?

We hope to see you all soon,

The snow has arrived! With all the extra cold weather we’ve been having over the past few weeks, we’ve been working hard to keep our skin from suffering. And with two of our girls just back from skiing holidays, they have some tips and tricks to keep your skin smooth and hydrated throughout the harsh winter.

Gemma & Lucy have just returned, fresh from the slopes of Austria, after a skiing holiday with friends. As a true beauty girls, they had to take all their must-have products with them for the trip (travelling light is never an option).  Essentials for skiing in the cold weather were:

Dermalogica Climate Control – An intense formula for the lips, a delicate area to treat when freezing temperatures can easily crack and chap the skin. This keeps the skin supple and smooth.

Dermalogica Barrier Repair – A silky feel serum that does exactly what it says; creating a barrier once applied over the face. This helps keep the effects of harsh weather at bay by creating a barrier against them.

Bare Minerals Foundation – Even when skiing, we like to make a little effort on the make-up front. Swirling a small amount of the foundation around the face will give skin a light glow, whilst protecting against any winter sun with SPF 15, and keeping redness to a minimum with added zinc, after bombing down the slopes with the wind hitting your face.

Why not give them a try and see what you think of the difference in your skin?

We also have some exciting news we can‘t wait to share with you all in the near future. We can’t reveal anything just yet as its top secret, but as soon as we can, all of our lovely clients will be the first to know.

We hope you’re all keeping warm, or outside making the most of the snow for the next few days. We are open as normal today, so we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Stay gorgeous,

We’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate one of our regular Celebrity Clients, Jacqueline Jossa, on winning the Best Newcomer award at the National Television Awards this week. We wish her all the best for her well deserved win and hope she’s still celebrating! We also loved Jacqueline’s outfit of choice for the night, which perfectly complemented her golden tan and fresh, natural make-up with a hint of eye liner. Well done Jacqueline from everyone at Indulgence!

This season it’s all about sparkle; with glitter, stars and sequins all over the catwalks at Miu Miu, Dolce and Gabanna and Marc Jacobs. The party season may technically be over, but we think adding a bit of sparkle to your January can brighten up this typically gloomy month. And, of course, we have lots of tips and tricks to share with our lovely clients!

Nails
The Jessica Geleration formula has recently come up with a sheer glitter flecked polish to add to your gel base colour for your nails. The new glitter varnish, ‘Scarlet’, is our favourite addition to the collection to add some sparkle to your nails.

Eyes
Brighten up eyes with a bit of shimmer eyeliner. Adding some liner to your look is a quick and easy way to change your make up in a few minutes. We love the Bare Minerals Light Show Liners, a shimmering pack of three shades to choose from, depending on your mood, containing bronze, silver and gold shades. We love!

Skin
Give skin an iridescent glow with our Fake Bake Shimmer formulas, which can be applied for the day or night and washed off with soap and water. This instant tan is an all-rounder; giving a healthy glow and a subtle glitter shimmer all in one! A must-have for nights out pre-spray tan days.

Lips
We love the Buxon lip glosses from Bare Minerals. As well as using all natural ingredients across the brand, these glosses also plump the natural lips with a tingly sensation, and leave lips with a full glossy pout with added shimmer. Perfect!

Come in and try out some of our favourite products to see which suit you best.

See you soon,
Indulgence x
