The Treatment: We loved their Lash Lift – adding length, volume and lift to natural eyelashes with no extensions, no adhesive and no mascara, SumanBrows’ Lash Lift is one of the quickest ways to brighten and lift your entire face. Unlike a traditional lash perm, this Lash Lift straightens your natural hairs at the root, creating the appearance of longer, thicker lashes with no need for mascara.

Stimulating skin cells to produce collagen and hyaluronic acid, endermologie is an easy and low maintenance solution for non-beauty fanatics to enjoy alongside a healthy lifestyle.
The Treatment: The simple procedure allows the body to do the hard work itself, acting as an extensive of the masseuse’s arms.

This fusion of health and beauty utilises Margaret’s own range of foot care products, expertly formulated and containing the hero ingredient emu oil, used for its anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and moisturising properties.
