Salon Sixty-Five

🍂 HELLO OCTOBER… AND HERE WE GO! 🍂

The run-up to the crazy season is officially upon us… and dare I say it…

🎄 THE CHRISTMAS DIARIES ARE OPEN! 🎄

Yes, we’ve already added some extra late nights because we know how quickly those pre-Christmas appointments disappear 👀✨

From autumn treatments, cosy catch-ups and getting you feeling your best, right through to those all-important Christmas party, festive season and “I need to be holiday ready” appointments… the next few months are going to fly by!

And honestly… THANK YOU. 🥹🩷

Whatever the season, you continue to keep our little salon so busy, and we genuinely don’t take that for granted. Every booking, rebooking, recommendation, review, like and share helps support our small businesses more than you know. 🫶🏼

And because it’s officially cosy season… ☕️

THE WINTER WARMERS ARE MAKING A COMEBACK!

Fancy a cheeky Baileys in your coffee or hot chocolate while you’re being pampered? 👀🤎 Just let us know when you’re in!

If you’ve been meaning to try us, now is the perfect time to get yourself booked in. Whether it’s waxing, nails, lashes, brows, facials or one of our more advanced treatments, we’ve got you covered from head to toe. ✨

And if you’re already a regular… don’t leave your Christmas appointment until Christmas is practically here! 🎅🏼

Your future December self will thank you. 😉🩷

A little autumn switch-up 🍂🤎

Not my client’s usual colour choice… but we’ve swapped those summer corals for a gorgeous cinnamon shade, finished with a little leopard print because… obviously 🐆😉

Fresh builder gel infill = strength, structure and a beautifully smooth finish, while still keeping the natural nail looking elegant and healthy. It’s a great choice if you want a little more support than traditional gel polish, without the bulk of extensions.

And because beautiful nails start with the right prep, every infill is carefully prepared, restructured and finished to leave that glossy, seamless result ✨

Your homework between appointments?
✨ Cuticle oil daily
✨ Keep nails hydrated
✨ Don’t use your nails as tools
✨ Book your maintenance appointments rather than waiting until they’re desperate

If you’ve been thinking about trying builder gel, this is your sign to give your natural nails a little more love 🤎

The lash tech view never gets old… 👀✨

And YY’s? My absolute FAVOURITE lashes to lash! 😍

There’s something about that fluffy, textured YY finish that just brings the eyes to life — without needing to reach for mascara every morning.

But lash extensions aren’t just about looking pretty… they’re a little bit of a life hack. 😉

Each extension is carefully applied to an individual natural lash, creating extra length, curl and volume while still working with your own natural lash cycle.

Your natural lashes are constantly growing, shedding and renewing, which is why your extensions naturally shed with them. That’s also why regular infills help keep your set looking fresh and fluffy. ✨

And the secret to keeping them looking their best?

🫧 Clean them regularly with a lash-safe cleanser
🚫 Avoid picking, pulling or rubbing
💦 Keep them clean — lashes LOVE cleanliness
🪥 Gently brush them daily with your spoolie
📅 Keep up with regular infills to maintain that full, fresh look

Less mascara. Less morning faffing. More waking up feeling ready. 👀✨

If you’ve been thinking about trying lash extensions but keep wondering whether they’re really worth it… this is your sign to find out what the fuss is about. 😉

YY’s, W’s, natural, fluffy or full — we can create a set around YOU. 💕

Still shaving your pits? We need to talk… 👀👇

Whether you’re male or female, a regular gym-goer, body builder, athlete or simply someone who likes that clean, smooth feeling… underarm waxing could be a game changer. ✨

Unlike shaving, which simply cuts the hair at skin level, waxing removes the hair from the root — meaning you’re not dealing with that dreaded stubble just a day or two later. Waxing can keep the area smooth for a few weeks, and with consistent waxing, many people notice their regrowth becomes finer and less dense over time.

And for my gym-goers… less underarm hair can mean less of that sweaty, stubbly feeling and a smoother finish when you’re training, competing or simply feeling your best. 💪🏼

No gender. No judgement. No awkwardness. Just proper professional waxing.

If you’re ready to ditch the razor and see what regular waxing can do for you… your first appointment is the hardest step. 😉

We wax head to toe, male & female — and yes, underarms are very much included. 🤍

The before nobody posts… 👀👇

If your lash extensions are looking a little more shredded than usual at the moment, don’t panic… it’s AUTUMN LASH SHED season! 🍂👀

Just like the hair on your head, your natural lashes go through their own growth cycle — and at certain times of the year, you may notice more natural lashes shedding than usual.

When your natural lash sheds, the extension attached to it naturally goes with it. This can make your set look more sparse, grown out or uneven much quicker than normal.

And this is where regular infills become important. 🤍

✨ During autumn lash shed, you may need your infills a little more frequently until the shed kindly leaves us alone!

This is completely normal for this time of year and doesn't mean your lashes are suddenly “not lasting” or that your extensions aren't working.

Your lash artist will assess your natural lashes at each appointment and work with what you've got — keeping the health of your natural lashes at the forefront. 🫶🏼

So if your lashes are shedding more than usual right now…

DON'T PANIC. 🍂
DON'T PICK.
DON'T PULL.
AND DON'T BLAME YOUR LASHES! 😂

It's just nature doing its thing.

Regular maintenance + gentle aftercare = happy, healthy natural lashes and beautiful extensions. ✨

Male or female, if you love your lashes, looking after them is part of the treatment. 🤍
