Looking Glass Beauty

Hi everyone! ☀️😊

I'm taking a few days off to make the most of this gorgeous weather, spend some time with kids🩷💙🩷 and finally tackle a few jobs around the house! 🏡🥰

I'll be back in the salon on 29th💙

If you need to book, change an appointment, or have a look at my treatments and prices while I'm away, my online booking system has everything you need:

✨ looking-glassbeauty.book.app ✨

You're still welcome to send me a message if you need to 🥰but if your query can be answered through the booking system, that will be the quickest option while I'm away😍 I'll get back to everyone as soon as I'm back on the 29th 😘🩷

Thank you so much🩷 Hope you all enjoy the sunshine too☀️💕

Much love Ashley 💙

✨️back to work from Monday✨️

I just want to say thank you all so much for your patience, kindness and support over the last few weeks🩷 Every message, check-in and well wish has meant so much to me 🩷

After a challenging few weeks, I've finally had further investigations and some answers. While I'm still receiving treatment, I'm feeling much more positive and now have a treatment plan in place🥰🩷

One of the biggest things to come from this experience is learning that I am perimenopausal and have now been prescribed HRT to help support the symptoms I've been experiencing ontop of my infection 💛

It's been incredibly eye-opening to learn just how much hormonal changes can affect our bodies and overall wellbeing, often in ways we don't immediately associate with hormones! Fatigue, inflammation, joint and muscle discomfort, changes in recovery, sleep and energy levels can all be influenced by these changes.

Like many women, I've been reminded how important it is to advocate for ourselves when something doesn't feel right!! Women's health can be incredibly complex, and it's all too easy to dismiss symptoms as simply being part of getting older, being busy, or getting on with things💔

Now im feeling much better I've decided to return to work from Monday🙌🩷

I know that routine, keeping active, and seeing familiar faces are all important parts of my recovery too🥰 and I'm so looking forward to getting back to doing what I love💆‍♀️🌿🍯🩷

I'll be working through my diary this afternoon and contacting clients regarding appointments📖
Thank you again for all of your support. It's still early days, but for the first time in a while I feel like I'm moving forward with a plan, some answers, and a lot more hope for the months ahead 🩷
Much love,
Ashley 🩵

Health Update 💛

I just wanted to give everyone a little update and say thank you so much for all the kindness and patience I’ve been shown recently💚

The last couple of weeks have honestly been really scary and overwhelming. What initially seemed like a simple health concern has turned into ongoing investigations for recurrent abdominal issues and severe pain that have been affecting my mobility, day to day life and ability to work properly😪

I travelled to Aberdeen today to see a specialist consultant as I felt I needed more in depth assessment and follow up to properly understand what’s been going on. I’ve now been started on a further 2 week course of antibiotics alongside additional treatment, and I’ll also be returning for further scans and testing over the coming weeks based on the consultant’s recommendations. I’ll continue with physiotherapy as part of recovery too.

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to take a little extra time off to properly rest and allow my body time to recover as well as finishing this new course of antibiotics before returning to work. At the moment I’m planning to return from 11th June, and I’ll continue updating clients individually💚

This really wasn’t an easy decision for me at all😪 but after struggling with similar issues in the past, I know It needs properly investigate and manage things now rather than continue trying to push through pain and repeated flare ups.

Thank you all again for your understanding, kindness and support during such a stressful time. The lovely messages, patience and compassion has really helped me and means so much🩷

Hi everyone 🩵

I just wanted to put a post up as I’ve had to suddenly stop working this week and contact clients individually.

Unfortunately I’ve been signed off work for the next 2 weeks due to a severe back/pelvic pain flare alongside ongoing bladder/UTI issues that are still being investigated. At the moment I’m dealing with significant pain, dizziness and reduced mobility, and I’m not fit to safely carry out treatments just now.

I’m currently following a treatment plan from my GP and have physio arranged, so I’m really hoping things start improving soon. At the moment I’m unable to rearrange appointments until I have a clearer idea of recovery, but I’ll keep everyone updated as soon as I can.

Thank you all so much for your kindness, patience and understanding while I take the time to properly recover🩵

✨ A little update from me ✨

Hi everyone 🩵

I hope you’re all doing well 🥰

I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you 🩷 I feel incredibly grateful for all the love, trust, laughter, and support you continue to bring into my little home based space 🌿✨ It truly means the world to me 🩷

Recently, I’ve taken some time to pause, reflect, and realign with both my business and my energy. From today, I’ll be gently adjusting my prices and availability, which will be automatically updated online for any new bookings going forward 🩷

✨ All existing bookings will, of course, remain at the original price they were made at ✨

These changes simply reflect the natural rise in running costs, as well as honouring the time, care, and energy that goes into each treatment 🌿✨ I’m also really excited to be refreshing my treatment menu 🥰✨

At the moment, I’m almost fully booked through to the end of June, with just a few scattered appointments remaining 🙏

As much as I always try to be flexible, my husband will soon be returning to sea until the end of summer, and I’m also supporting my children with ASN and their after-school activities. Alongside this, I have some ongoing family commitments that need my time and attention at present 🩵 Because of this, I’ll mainly be working within school hours for the foreseeable future, with extended hours available on Mondays and Wednesdays only 🌿

✨ A little note on contact ✨
The best way to reach me is via my business page, which is linked to my booking system 💛 I’m also available on WhatsApp if that’s easier. All booking details can always be found on my website. I may be a little slower to reply during client time, but I will always get back to you as soon as I can 🩵

This isn’t me stepping back, just gently realigning to keep everything flowing in a calm, balanced way 💛🩵🩷💚

Thank you, as always, for your kindness and continued support, it truly means everything to me 🙏🩷

Much love,
Ashley 🩵✨

You will always be met with care, compassion, and a treatment designed entirely around you. 🤍

✨ A little touch of holistic magic ✨

Over the past year, my journey has gently evolved beyond beauty treatments alone and into a more mindful, holistic space. Alongside aromatherapy and reflexology, I’ve personally been exploring reiki, sound healing, and more recently, tarot as a tool for calm reflection and self-connection💚

I’m not a professional reader, but I’ve found so much joy and comfort in learning that I now offer a light, complimentary tarot reading for clients who wish to experience one after their treatment ✨️ It’s simply a peaceful, uplifting addition, focused on positivity, relaxation, and a moment to pause 🌿💚

I completely understand this isn’t for everyone, and that’s always respected 🥰 there is never any pressure, only a warm, nurturing space to unwind in whatever way feels right for you 🩷

This season of life has been about slowing down, embracing holistic wellbeing, and finding gentle comfort in nature and self-care and I feel grateful to share a little of that energy with those who are drawn to it 💚✨️

As I close the door on another year and finally take a little time off, I just want to say the biggest THANK YOU to each and every one of my wonderful clients 🩵✨

I’ve worked right up until today, and now I’m so grateful to be spending some precious time with my nearest and dearest 🎄🎁💞 While I’m taking this break, all messages will be responded to after the New Year 💌🕊️

I want to thank you for the kind messages, the cards, the gifts, the laughter and the love you’ve shown me throughout the year 🎁💐🩷

I am so incredibly grateful that you choose my wee business and allow me to do a job that brings me so much joy 💅💆‍♀️✨

What I do has never been just nails, waxing or massage💅🍯 💆‍♀️💖 It’s about connection 🩷 It’s about being a safe space 🫶🏼, a listening ear 👂🏼, a shoulder to cry on sometimes and most of all, a place to laugh 🩷💫

Thank you for trusting me not only as your beauty therapist, but for allowing friendships to grow 🌸, for sharing milestones 🥂, stories 📖 and little pieces of your journey with me 🚶‍♀️✨

I am so honoured to be part of that 🩵🌟
You make my job so much more than work, you make it a joy 💕

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart 🩷 especially for all the laughter✨ It truly means more than you know 🫶🏼

Wishing you all a beautiful Christmas 🎄✨ and a very happy New Year 🥳💫
See you in 2026 🤍✨

Much love Ashley 🩵
