Services
Environ Facials
Our Environ facials utilise vitamin-rich formulations to address specific skin concerns through advanced delivery systems. The treatment sequence includes cleansing, exfoliation, targeted serums, and protective moisturisers. Clients receive customised regimens based on individual skin analysis and long-term health goals.
IPL Hair Removal
This light-based therapy targets hair follicles for long-lasting reduction across various body areas. Multiple sessions yield optimal results with minimal discomfort. We provide pre- and post-treatment care guidance to ensure skin safety and effectiveness.
Hot Stone Massage
Smooth heated stones are used to release muscle tension through deep-tissue techniques. The treatment combines Swedish massage strokes with thermal therapy for improved circulation. Sessions focus on areas of chronic stiffness while promoting overall relaxation.
Permanent Cosmetics
Semi-permanent makeup application enhances facial features using hypoallergenic pigments. The process involves precise pigment implantation in the dermal layer for natural-looking definition. Results last 12-18 months with proper aftercare maintenance.
Indian Head Massage
This traditional technique targets the head, neck, and shoulder regions to relieve stress and tension. Using rhythmic movements with essential oils, the treatment improves lymphatic drainage and promotes mental clarity through pressure point stimulation.

Excellent service, professional and friendly as always. 3 days later, 2 people had commented on my "glowing skin" not knowing that I had been subjected to one of the most relaxing facials by Ashley! Full body massage by Debbie, feel like a new woman! Thanks so much ladies.
