My 2016 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE BEAUTY, HAIR AND THE AESTHETIC INDUSTRY.

2016 Recommendations for Beauty Hair and Aesthetic Industry.


Here in the UK it’s still possible to open a beauty/hair salon or cosmetic clinic without any qualifications at all. The good news is that, with new laws coming in, some of the cowboys operating around the country – even in Harley Street – should at last be brought into line.


While some spend years training to get their qualifications, others simply take a one-week course and think they know it all. Clutching their worthless qualifications, the next day they can be found holding a needle to a client’s face as a so-called skin-care specialist or wielding a pair of scissors over someone’s precious hair.
I often have to deal with the wreckage created by these so-called experts, many of whom are little more than salespeople with needles or scissors.
And it’s not just the damage an unqualified hairdresser or beauty ‘expert’ does to your hair or body; it can also be quite devastating emotionally.
Do please check with me before seeing someone you are not sure about; it will take just one phone call or email and could save so much heartache. I know so many people in the industry and, believe me, I wouldn’t trust some of them to wash my hair, let alone cut it, although that doesn’t mean they aren’t perfectly pleasant to have a drink with.
To make life easier, here is my list of recommendations for cosmetic, hair and beauty treatments. I hope it will be a useful guide – but do still make sure you check their qualifications.
Finally, one useful tip is to avoid anywhere that says clients will meet a fully qualified nurse or surgery consultant first – they tend to be salespeople whose main aim is to persuade you into more expensive treatments in my personal opinion.
Some clinics will charge a consultancy fee, which will usually be worth paying.

Best Accupunctures 

Doctor Duna  Alrudayni Acupuncture Face Lift 
07889969413



http://www.acu-duna.com/about-us




This treatment is huge in the US, with people like Kim Kardashain and Demi Moore taking to the relaxing and youth-giving ancient treatment. So how is Doctor Duna's approach to facial acupuncture  different from others who offer the Acupuncture Face Lift? Doctor Duna has developed a unique approach to cosmetic acupuncture, combining the usual facial acupuncture, which is based on inserting needles on the acupoints and on the lines and wrinkles on the face, with Mei Zen acupuncture. This technique is done by inserting three needles on the acupuints on the face and on the lines and wrinkles, and the third technique is by inserting long needles to tune the facial muscle, rather like the threading needling. She found by combining the three techniques results can be achieved faster and last longer. The results have to be seen to be believed. 

Best hair colourist 
Lesley  Jennsion 
http://realhair.co.uk/main/realhair-services/price-list/colour






I've come across some very good colourists but few as accomplished, skilled or professional as Lesley Jennison, whom I've been fortunate enough to have tend my own blond locks for the last 10 years.

With 32 years experience in the business, she started out at Sassoon's and managed the shop in Covent Garden for a number of years before moving to be senior colourist at Harrods. She is now the world educator for Schwarzkopf and also sees clients at the fashionable salon Real Hair in Chelsea.

The first thing you will notice is that Lesley is interested in you, and what sort of look you want to achieve. With her, there's no such thing as a stupid question and she makes her clients feel totally at ease as she explains every step of the procedure.


When she applies the colour, it's like watching an artist at work. Lesley does not cut or dry hair but you can have that done at the Real Blow bar or in the salon itself. And they are more than happy to give you a hairdryer so you can dry your beautifully coloured hair yourself.

WOW MASK REVUE BY AVENUE 57

WOW Face Mask Review

£60 for a face mask* is a little on the high side I was so skeptical due to the price tag. I could be some way to having botox for that price. *There are 5 face masks in the packet.

The official website says “
An Anti-Aging Luxury Facial Mask Treatment filled with pure scientific goodness. Visibly reduce wrinkles, smaller pores, revitalized skin and a WOW EFFECT that makes you feel 5 inches taller.



How do you use it?
  1. Wash and dry your face.
  2. Once the mask is out of the silver sleeve, remove both of the plastic sheets.
  3. Place it on your face – it’s a little slippery to start with so give it 5 minutes to settle.
  4. Leave it on for 20-40 mins (the longer, the better).
  5. Remove the mask gently.

I was keen to give it a try so I opened the box and took out the first packet (it comes with 5 treatments in it). Each treatment has two parts to it. A top part for your forehead/upper face and a lower part over your mouth and jaw. It was a bit fiddly to put on/get right and it ended up slipping off my face (nearly!). WAIT THE 5 MINS and it kind ‘sets’ so it won’t slip off.

I lay on the bed for 40 mins (I never do this) reading trying not to let the mask fall off.

I haven’t taken any photographs with me wearing the mask, it wasn’t attractive in any way nor would it be helpful to you as a reader. It’s a clear second skin type of thing that looks like I’m wearing a 2 part surgical mask for facial burns. But no-one will see you and a mud pack looks just as ‘attractive’!

WHAT MAKES WOW DIFFERENT?
They say: It is a natural alternative to injectables. All the active ingredients have been finely balanced to deliver the treatment quickly. WOW makes skin look as perfect as can be for 24 hours but the effects can be felt for up to 7 days. It’s perfect for busy women. Once the mask has settled, the wearer can get on with whatever it is they need to do.

THE RESULTS
I have to say my face DID feel cleaner, fresher and *I* felt better because I’d done it. I am really bad at skincare maintenance (I don’t even take my make up off night). No-one else in my family could see any difference but I felt different. I felt like I’d just been really really nice to my face and that in itself made me radiate a little ‘wow’ (see what I did there?!).

I guess if you are used to facials at a salon then this isn’t a bad price at all for a DIY deep cleanse. I will use the other 4 treatments because I have them but I’m going to save them for days when I’ve had a heavy night before or I have an event to go to because I felt good/better than before the treatment.

Have you ever tried a WOW mask? Let me know what you think? Again, if you go to salons regularly this could be a fantastic alternative for a home treatment. You can buy a 5 pack treatment box from the official site.

PS I was given this treatment pack for free. I was under no obligation to write about it if I didn’t want to. I have enjoyed the product hence why I’ve reviewed it.
