sSome people recommend getting a massage twice a week and while that is a lovely thought - and genuine #lifegoals - these people clearly have a lot more money than me *sighs*. Whether you’re a once-a-week or once-in-a-blue-moon kinda person, here are some easy ways you can prolong that post-massage feeling. By Beth Ludolf

A facial is a winning treatment, combining the soothing comfort of a massage, with majorly glowing skin. So you’re finished at the spa, and you’ve photographed that fresh, newborn skin (multiple, multiple times), what needs to be done to keep your face feeling fantastic? Here’s our top 5 tips for maintaining that post-facial feeling. Yep, you should probably book your next one, just to try them out. By Rachel Spedding

With so many types of massage on offer these days, choosing which to go for is a tricky gig (like deciding what you fancy on Deliveroo, with fewer arguments). Deep tissue is the most popular choice on Treatwell – our most-booked massage in 2018, in fact – while Swedish, Thai, and chair massage offer various solutions to muscular pain and feeling ‘zen’. You could try them all out for size, or just read this. Your call. *Books four massages instantly*. By Rachel Spedding

I think autumn gets a bad rap. Yes, it means summer is over - did it even begin? - and yes, it can be an absolute nightmare to dress for - freezing in the mornings, boiling by lunchtime - but it’s all my warm-toned dreams come true. So, you can imagine my joy at the copper hair trend. Bonfires, golden leaves, pumpkin spice: super-warm tones are inherently autumn (read: I'm already on board).  Auburn is a failsafe - the brown undertone flatters all skin tones - but if you’re after added-drama, go for a rich copper. Just like rainbow brights,…

I know that officially autumn doesn't start until the 23rd of September but, look, Bake Off has started and pumpkin spice lattes are back which means that summer is over. Sorry, but it’s true. While the same cannot be said for dark nights, we’re welcoming autumn’s nail trends with open arms. By Beth Ludolf

Some things in life are inevitable. The sun will set every evening, I will always eat the entire share-size bag of crisps and most of us will go grey. That’s just life. Grey hair has a bad rap for meaning you’re getting old but, unless thirty is old (it’s not), that’s BS. With the right care, silver hair is just as cool as its predecessor. Who needs pigment anyway?

The 90s have an undeniable cult following (and rightly so, they’re iconic). That's probably why their revival shows no sign of slowing - especially in beauty. Beyonce is bringing back french tips, Rihanna is sporting a whole head of mini buns and the make-up from HBO’s Euphoria has some serious Gwen-Stefani-at-the-1998-VMAs vibes (yep, face gems baby). Obviously, Instagram’s coolest girls are all in. The trend they’re loving? Two-tone hair (rocked by none other than [queen] Geri Halliwell).  Two-tone hair - as well as earning serious nostalgia points - looks great on all hair lengths and textures and is super playful. Go classic with blonde…

Yellow had it’s time, red will always be big news, but the colour to go for at the salon this year? Green. Emerald green, metallic green, Solero Shots* vibrant and juicy green – all of it, will prove a damn good time on your fingertips. Try CND Shellac’s ‘Lush Tropics’ for a lime-toned shade, or ‘Palm Deco’, if deep-jade is more your vibe. If a classic manicure is your go-to treatment, ask your manicurist for ‘Stay Off The Lawn’. Not just because that is the best name of a nail polish, ever. Of course we know what’s going on in the world of nail trends,…

More guys than ever are braving their local waxing . We get it, you’re teetering on the edge of hair removal, but without hard and fast facts, you’re not jumping. Fear not, we’ve got ’em for you. Here’s the lowdown.

If you’ve already tried LVL lash lifts, we reckon it’s safe to assume you’re now a fan of really great eyelashes. The good news is, miracle lash treatments don’t just start and end with LVL. Here are a few of our other favourite ways to get stand-out lashes.

We’ve come a long way from the back, sack and crack. Men are officially choosing to sharpen up body hair from head to toe. We know this how? Because our male waxing bookings are up 50% in the last few years. So, know, chaps that you’re not alone in mission manscape. Here’s our guide on where we’re shifting the hair.

Despite its Victorian-torture-device aesthetic, ‘dermarolling’ is a conversation topic that keeps popping up in our office, and on Instagram. From Kim K’s vampire facial, to the rise in microneedling treatments, it seems we’re all seeking that radiant glow invasive procedures offer. So, what can you expect from an at-home dermaroller and, more importantly, is it going to hurt? By Rachel Spedding

Though 90% of our manicure trips end with nude-coated fingertips, there’s something about new-season trends that keep our eyes looking toward the catwalk. The past few weeks have seen all sorts of fingertip goodness, from claw-like extensions, to well-groomed bare nails. From New York, straight to London, (and all the OTT clothing in between), here are the 9 nail looks that have caught our attention, that’ll definitely be trying out next time. Probably.

For some (ahem) Valentine's Day is good for one thing only – finding posh chocolate, reduced, the day after. But, there's heart-shaped joy to be found beyond the card shop... inside the nail salon. Pink and red is pretty much the best colour combo these days – Glossier, we thank you – so it's easy to see why these wondrous patterns look so great. Mini hearts, gold accents, I'm a sucker for it all. Try stickers if nail art is a little too advanced for your painting abilities or leave it to the pros at the salon for a longer-lasting *smudge-free* finish. Oh, and side…

So you’re a first time waxer? Alright, chill. Sure, a stranger is about to see you in the buff, but they’ve seen it all before (and there’s no judgement round these parts). If that’s not enough to allay your fears, this will: our answers to the most FAWQs (frequently asked wax queries). Practical tips to minimise stress, so instead of tensing up while on the salon bed, you can muse on what you’ll do tonight.

For those of us less-endowed in the lash department (hi, me), extensions are the perfect addition for length and volume. Since we’re the ones in the know (beauty, treatments, memorised food menus), we’re here to answer all your extension queries. After all, it’s nice to know what to expect before heading for an appointment. From taking your lashes on holiday, to finally understanding what a spoolie is, here’s everything you need to know about eyelash extensions. By Rachel Spedding

Fresh gel nails. So great. So great, in fact, that you must send a pic to your group chat, type with index finger only, and high five anyone in sight. Yes, a new gel polish means all eyes on your fingertips, so keep ‘em staring your way beyond the two-week mark with our expert guide to longer lasting gels. *I’m typing this with freshly painted fingertips, and I see the gal beside me staring.

The fade. You’ve probably heard of it. You’ve no doubt spotted it. Hey, you might even be sporting it (and not even realise). In brief, it’s an ‘aggressively tight’ tapered cut, kept super short at the sides and back, and ‘fading’ to any length up top (and, yep, it’s pretty much the cut of 2019). The undercut fade is a good one (on-trend, low maintenance, a crowd-pleaser – read: your chums on Instagram will no-doubt double tap). The cut keep lots of length up top before tapering to a thin fade at the sides, and is super versatile when styling; pompadour, slicked…

Ever wondered what’s going on inside the head of your therapist? While we’re not mind-readers (yet – we’re honing our skills on that crystal ball), we do know a thing or two about waxing. Here are six things we reckon your therapist wishes you knew that would make your visit – quite literally – smoother.

I like to think that if I could see inside my hairdresser’s mind, they’d be appreciating the fine condition of my well-nourished locks, and not fearing for the fresh fake tan naively sat a’top my skin (about to get hella streaky). Bad cosmetic choices aside, your hair stylist is a magician with the scissors, so to make sure you get the most out of your cut, colour or blow dry, we summed up everything they reallywish you knew.
