BEAUTY TREATMENTS FOR LOW MAINTENANCE BRIDES
As the owner of a beauty salon, I encounter a wide variety of customers with differing requests and requirements. There are those looking for a way to pamper themselves and unwind, to those seeking to look their best for an upcoming event. Most brides-to-be fall into the latter camp as they strive to achieve the perfect look for their big day. For some brides, beauty preparations can begin months before their wedding. Tanning sessions, long-form skincare routines and in some cases, even surgical intervention.
But not all brides are built alike. There are those that are less interested in their own day-to-day beauty routines. Complicated beauty treatments and long-term, multi-session regimes don’t always suit. Here are some quick, effective beauty treatments for such brides.
Gel Nails Mani-Pedi
The mani-pedi, or combination manicure and pedicure, is often the perfect entry-point for clients new to beauty treatments. Nail care is simple and relatively quick, and the results can be both immediate and profound.
For brides-to-be, the mani-pedi could well be one of the most important beauty treatments in their wedding preparations. Nails will be prominent in photos, particularly photos that focus on the ring – and, of course, a bride will want to wow their partner when it comes to exchanging rings at the altar! Combine your mani-pedi treatment with gel nail polish to give their nails a beautiful sheen in the colour scheme of their choice.
Brows
Bridal make-up can be an intimidating subject for any bride, let alone the low-maintenance type. Eyebrow make-up can act the perfect basis on which to build a light facial treatment. To start, simple shaping treatments like plucking or threading beauty treatments can have a great impact. For the slightly more adventurous, you could offer micro-blading as an option to ensure their brows are wedding-ready from the moment they wake up.
Massage
Not all beauty therapists are trained in full aesthetic treatments and procedures. Some have a more holistic approach. Massage therapies can be perfect for brides-to-be, especially those inclined to nerves. Massage and relaxation beauty treatments can be offered to help them stay calmer before the big day. Essential oil and aromatherapies, coupled with targeted back and shoulder massage, can help relieve tension too.
Facial Treatments
Lastly, facial treatments may seem like a bridge too far for the particularly low-maintenance bride. However, with the right treatments you can show brides the benefits and minimal hassle of a pre-wedding facial treatment. This will give them the best possible skin for their make-up artist to work with.
Facial treatments needn’t be invasive either. While some may include chemical peels, a good beauty therapist will put a no-fuss routine together for a bride-to-be. This can include simple massage or light product usage.
