Image Beauty Salon

Yummy, Yummy it’s so Good for my Tummy!

Sue — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:30:05 +0000

We have a bit of a food theme to this month’s blog, inspired by our client Amy Longson. Amy brought us in some delicious cupcakes, Yum! Yum! Thank You Amy.

Once the tummy is satisfied the brain starts working! So we got to thinking about our clients here at Image, and what an interesting lively, fun and diverse bunch you are. We thought you might like to meet some of them. So in a new regular feature in the blog we will check out what it takes to be……

One of the IMAGE ladies .. Meet Jo!

Name: Joanna Voudouris

Age:32

Occupation:Private Client Manager

What do you like about your job?

Visiting clients houses and inspecting jewellery and art collections

What do you do for fun?

Cinema, reading and walking

When did you first visit Image?

2009

How did you find out about the salon?

I met Sue on a social level and from there became a client.

What’s your favourite treatment/experience at the salon?

Microdermabrasion

Do you have any beauty confessions, or have you had any beauty blunders?

I put bleach on a spot when I was 14!! Ouch!

What would be your perfect way to spend a weekend?

Shopping in Milan and eating pasta!

Would you like extra cheese with that?

In keeping with the foody turn this blog has taken, Naomi had an interesting snack the other
day! .We were having a quick break between clients when we noticed Naomi was eating a packet of bacon crisps with her treatment gloves still on… the last treatment she had been doing was a pedicure.

Quick as a flash our trainee, Emily noticed, ” are you enjoying your feet and bacon crisps Naomi?”

We think it may have put Naomi off but we all literally fell over laughing!

Food for thought… (and face!)

For years the ingredients we use in our dinners have been purloined to naturally enhance our beauty. In fact instead of asking what came first, the chicken or the egg, we should maybe ask was it the egg white omelette or the egg white face mask! It’s easy to find common ingredients and foods that we can make Beauty
treatments out of…

Moisturise your skin with an egg-white mask rich with vitamins and minerals that help to tighten pores and minimize blackheads. Whisk one egg white and spread over face. Allow to dry, then rinse. Or leave your skin
smelling sweet as honey with a honey and brown sugar scrub. Fill a jar nabout two thirds full of runny honey, add a spoonful of brown sugar, mix together, rub over your skin in the shower and rinse.

(That’s if you can resist licking it off!)

But don’t forget we also offer a range of treatments in the salon that have great natural ingredients, even if they are not straight out of the kitchen!

Here is a just taster of what we will have to offer…

A roof terrace where you can chill and relax when the sun is shining

Double treatment rooms where you, family and friends can enjoy having treatments together

School run quick-fix

Jane Iredale Eye Steppes is reviewed.
It’s often only when you catch sight of yourself in the rear view mirror that you realise what a sight you actually are. The last thing you’ve got time to think about is how you look or where you’ve stashed your make-up. Which is where this neat stack of twist-out pots comes in. It’s light and, well, compact. Easy enough to tote around in your bag or glove compartment and contains a mirror, two lip glosses, a blusher and a bronzer. The full review is at

Top 5 industry trends for 2012

High Definition Foundations: An increasing number of TV programmes and films are being shot in High Definition (HD), exposing every flaw in actors’ skin. There’s a move away from conventional make-up which contains fillers like talc, which can look powdery on screen, towards mineral make-up. Foundations made purely from minerals are favoured for being practically undetectable while masking any redness or blemishes because of the way the mineral particles interact with light. We recommend Jane Iredale make up as the perfect natural look. http://www.beautybusinessnews.com/2011/12/top-5-industry-trends-for-2012/
