As a small business I try to offer my clients the very best service. Competition is all around and I am well aware that many of us do not carry cash like we used to.
Although no one has actually asked me if I take cards I have decided to add this facility for your convenience.
There will be a small transaction fee of £1.50 for this service.
I hope this helps in some small way and look forward to seeing you all soon.
You may have found my website as you were specifically looking for sugaring, or you may have just been looking for a waxing salon, or perhaps you are looking to learn to sugar.
I’ve been sugaring since 2010 and have a faithful list of clients that love the smooth hair free skin that sugaring gives you. I’d love you to come and try it for yourselves.
Alongside my home salon from April 2013 to April 2016 I was the UK distributor and educator for a USA Brand of sugaring paste. I travelled up and down the UK spreading the word to other salon owners about sugaring. I’ve written numerous articles in trade magazines, I have been the speaker at two major industry events all about waxing and hair removal and I have trained numerous therapists in the art of sugaring.
In 2016 I had to have shoulder surgery and as it did not go according to plan I’ve had a lot of time in recovery. However, I am now back training sugaring hair removal and I’ve joined forces with Stepahnie King at London Sugaring so that we can cover the whole of the UK with our knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for this amazing art.
Sugaring is an ancient art that has survived since Egyptian times and in many countries around the world sugaring is still the number one form of hair removal, sadly for consumers here in the UK it is simply not a choice they have. I have clients traveling over an hour to come to see me and experience this ancient art and I had wanted to give everyone in the UK the choice, however, salon owners up and down the country prefer to to wax and not give their clients a choice. I think this is wrong, many people are uncomfortable with waxing and so shave, unaware that there is even a choice. I wanted sugaring to be a household name so that young and old could have beautiful smooth hair free skin in every town, not just in my hometown.
I have learned so much about the beauty industry, about training, about therapists and the behind the scenes of running big and small salons. I have made so many friends during my travels but I did not manage to put sugaring in every salon in the UK.
There are still a few people up and down the country who offer this amazing treatment – ask your local salon if they have considered offering sugaring?
I’m proud of my training and my knowledge that I spent alot of time and money gathering, two trips to USA, many hours talking to hair removal experts up and down the country, many visits to colleges, schools of beauty and salons has given me first hand knowledge of what skin looks like when it’s been badly treated or well cared for.
I’m delighted to be back in my salon with clients and I’m looking forward to what the next journey will be for me now that I am no longer the distributor for Alexandria Professional.
If you are a salon owner reading this and you would like to talk to me about what sugaring can do for your business then please, do send me an email – I have plenty to say on the matter.
Waxing is the most popular hair removal method – you don’t need to know about the training involved or the wax product used but you do need to know about sugaring and the difference between waxing and sugaring. It is my job to use the best product for the job, but waxing is the most popular and probably you’ve not even heard of sugaring.
Don’t worry, I’m trained in both waxing and sugaring and I will take care of your waxing needs. I can show you how sugaring can be considered as a serious alternative to waxing.
In this post I am going to cover why sugaring is set to become so incredibly popular, as well as expose you to some surprising facts that you may never have known about waxing and sugaring.
You might never have even heard about some of this.
Waxing is the most popular of all salon treatments according to the Beauty Industry Survey report from 2013. In an industry so flooded with Brands, it can be difficult to know how to select a Salon in the highly competitive world of beauty.
There are 83 different brands of wax in use and with the number one reason why a brand is used by the salon is that it covers all areas of the body, it’s not surprising you probably have no idea what brand your salon uses or even which Brand is suitable for your skin.
I know you just want great hair-free skin. Waxing is a monthly chore and be honest do you really care what brand of wax we use as long as it does the job, right? Until something goes wrong. Until you get burnt, or ingrowns explode in your bikini area or your underarms have unsightly bumps. Then you may question the wax that last salon used.
I have seen amazing results with sugar paste, but to be fair I have sugared far more people than I have waxed them, so maybe I’m biased.
Body Sugaring is more than just hair removal it’s a skin conditioning treatment. You will experience great smoothness and you won’t want to shave after you have seen me. Waxing will remove your hair, but the difference needs to be felt.
Sugar paste has been used to remove hair from all parts of the body since time began.
If waxing is your no 1 choice of hair removal and you are looking for a salon that uses the best technique and the best product for your skin then you should pop along to see us – Claire and I use only the very best quality Wax, its the brain child of Andy Rouilard aka “wax Daddy”
22 Facts About Sugaring
Hair being removed in the natural direction of growth is a new concept for many. This theory was developed in the USA and is now taught all over the world. Its not possible with wax as sugar only sticks to dead skin cells.
2. Sugaring Eliminates Breakage
My technique is the most gentle and effective method of hair removal for all skin types and hair textures. By removing the hair in the direction that it grows, you end hair breakage.
3. Sugar Lubricates Hair Follicles
My molding technique allows the sugar paste to penetrate into the follicle whilst wrapping itself around the hair shaft. Full lubrication of the hair and follicle by the sugar paste results in a more gentle extraction. You are no longer traumatizing or re-directing the natural direction of the follicle.
4. Extended Hair Removal Intervals
Regular extraction, in the active growth phase (anagen) results in the continual deterioration of the follicle and helps to collapse the follicle wall. This leads to both refinement and permanent hair removal, this is slightly different than waxing which sticks to the hair but does not seep into the hair follicle.
5. Short Hairs Removed
Two days after shaving and sugar paste can still grip around the hair and remove it. Sugar seeps into the hair follicle and lubricates the hair, enabling you to “slide” the hair out and remove it. Wax needs longer hair.
6. Pliable Hair Leads to Little Discomfort
My molding technique makes the hair more pliable with the hair follicles less traumatized, reducing discomfort for you.
7. Hair Breakage Causes Ingrown Hair Problem
You probably understand that your therapist needs a good technique with all methods of hair removal. Sugaring is no exception. My training was extensive and I continue to check in with other sugaring experts to ensure I do not slip into bad habits. Originally I flew to USA to get the perfect technique. I’ve practiced alot to make everything perfect for you.
With all types of hair removal good homecare is essential. Educate yourself to understand why homecare is important. Ask me and I’ll happily explain.
8. Sugar is 100% Eco Friendly
Sugaring has been around for 1,000s of years and it is still made with sugar, lemon juice and water. Still 100% natural and you can still eat it (but you will get fat).
9. Is Wax 100% Bacteria Free
Sugar is well known for its preservative properties. Bacteria is unable to grow in sugar as it binds up the water and bacteria is unable to grow. My pots of sugar remain bacteria free which means good news for all concerned.
10. I am 100% Free from Cross Contamination
As I do not use sticks with sugaring I am able to say it’s 100% free from cross contamination. Best practice Habia recommends therapists always perform hair removal whilst wearing gloves and I always use gloves for both sugaring and waxing.
11. Sugar Paste is 100% Water Soluble
There is no mess, no damaged towels or uniforms, no sticky residual left on floors or table tops. Everything is washable. Cleanliness takes time and effort – sugaring reduces the time and effort required to be on top of the cleaning routine, meaning I’m more available for you.
12. My Wax and Sugar Paste is 100% Fragrant Free
Dermatologists say fragrance is the most common cause of allergy in cosmetics. There are more than 5,000 synthetic fragrance compounds used by the beauty industry. My products are Fragrant Free.
13. Natural Ingredients
You love natural ingredients and all my products are developed with this in mind. No nasty chemicals hiding in our ingredient lists. This means if you like natural products I should be your waxing and sugaring go to salon.
14. Sugaring is Not Hot
Sugar paste applied at body temperature can not burn. My warmers take all the guess work out of the job, leaving me to concentrate on you.
15. Dead Skin Cells Removed
As sugar is water soluble it will not stick to live skin cells and you get great exfoliation with no skin cell damage.
16. Safe on Varicose and Spider Veins
Sugaring is safe to use on varicose and spider veins as it is gentle. Used with my good technique there is no damage caused to the underlying areas. This is great news to many women who have been unable to get waxed, this is my great unique selling point.
17. Safe on dry, itchy, psoriasis or eczema skin
As I exfoliate the dead skin cells you can see that dry, itchy eczema and psoriasis responds well to sugaring. Used alongside my full range of skin repair products you’ll get fantastic results, probably for the first time ever.
18. Penetrates to lift debris/dead cells and unclog pores
Sugaring helps give beautiful smooth hair free skin by seeping into the hair follicle and lifting out debris and dead cells. Leaving the skin looking bright and clear. My wax is also top quality and you won’t have any skin lifting problems.
19. Leaves No Sticky Residue
Sugaring is a clean and easy way to remove hair – it leaves no sticky residue so you will leave feeling fresh and clean and you won’t get home with the fluff of your trousers stuck to your legs. When we wax we always ensure all the wax is removed so nothing sticks EVER.
20. Sugaring is Economical
If you care about the environment you’ll be pleased to know that I only need a small amount of product to wax and sugar you – so the environmental impact is very low.
21. I’m An Experienced Sugaring Practitioner
I travelled and trained in USA so I’ve seen hair from many different nationalities so feel confident that I’ll be able to help your skin look and feel the best ever.
22. Homecare Skin Management
I have a complete homecare skin management retail range at your disposal so that you will go home safe in the knowledge that we’ve got your skincare covered.

Massage is a wonderful way to de-stress. There are many types of massage available and if you are wondering which one will suit you then read on. Not only will you learn a little more about massage you will feel a little more relaxed about spending your money on a massage.
Over 100 Type of Massage
The list of massage types runs on to over 100 and whilst I would be the first to say that a good rub down should feel wonderful you are probably wondering if a massage is really worth the cash. Studies have now shown what the Eastern world have known forever, massage can be helpful not only in reducing physical pain but also for improving the mind and the fighting stress. Although there is no budget in the NHS for massage, many Doctors and Nurses all know that massage somehow does work for many people.
What’s Your Massage Therapist Like?
We all know that not all massage therapists are created equal. I trained in 1994 and took the ITEC qualification in Massage, this was a year long part time training followed by 50 case studies all signed off by a trained tutor. I did not study any beauty qualification and I think this is what sets me apart from the crowd.
If you are looking for your hair to be cut you call upon the services of a hairdresser, if you need heart surgery you go to a heart surgeon, if you need your nails painted then it’s a beautician you need so it makes sense that if you want a really good massage you find a massage expert, someone who specializes in the treatment.
I don’t paint nails, cut hair or perform heart surgery, I massage. Check out my testimonial page to see what other people say about me.
Feeling Cared For.
You want to know that whilst lying on my couch you’ll get my 100% attention and you will be looked after. Part of a massage treatment in my mind is to be cared for. When you bare your body to another person you need to be confident that you will be warm, comfortable and thus able to relax. My couch has a heated blanket underneath a mattress topper – so my couch is luxuriously comfortable, and it’s larger than most so you can really spread yourself out and not worry about limbs falling off the edge.
Many studies have been carried out (including some by the NHS) to show that massage really can reduce stress, improve circulation and help give you a good nights sleep. Life is moving at such a fast pace we all suffer from brain overload, massage really can quieten your mind and give you time to rest.
Chocolate or Massage?
Although massage therapy may be more expensive than a walk in the park or a bar of chocolate it is possible the benefits of massage far outweigh its price tag.
I know from my own experience that not everyone can give a true therapeutic massage so seek the services of a well-trained massage therapist. Ring and ask about their qualifications, how long they have been in the business and even ask for a free “tester” massage. Although most business owners would refuse this I would be more than happy to meet with you, discuss your requirements and give you a 10-15 minute free back massage – just so you know exactly what my treatment feels like.
You should never feel uncomfortable with your massage therapist so perhaps all you need is a friendly chat on the phone first to put your mind at ease. All professionals massage therapist should be more than happy to schedule a phone consultation with you if you have concerns.
Schools Should Teach Massage
I’d like a massage technique to be taught in all schools at infant and junior level so that everyone can give and receive a massage, you’d have grown up then knowing how great a massage feels. Nothing beats a massage after a long day at work, a flight back from a business trip or a visit to the in-laws.
Many of my clients have been with me for years and I’ve massaged them through the highs and lows of their life, they know that a regular massage really does give them great benefit. Reading this won’t give you the real insight into what a relaxing massage treatment can do you need to go an experience one for real.
