There is a moment most women have somewhere around the end of August, usually in an unforgiving bathroom mirror or a photograph taken outdoors. The face looks well and the skin has a bit of colour, and yet something has gone flat around the eyes. Lash and brow tinting after summer is one of the quietest, least dramatic treatments offered at our beauty salon in Maghull, and it is also the one that most reliably produces that startled, delighted look...

Rebuilding Nail Strength After Gel Polish This Summer
By the end of August a lot of the hands arriving at our beauty salon in Maghull look tired in one very particular way. The colour has been lovely all summer, the nails have been through a holiday, a wedding and probably one hurried removal at the kitchen table, and now the natural nail underneath feels thin, bendy and tender towards the free edge. Nail strength after gel polish is easily the most common worry Ruth hears at this point...
How A Course Of Prescriptive Facials Is Planned
A course of prescriptive facials is a different proposition from a single appointment, and the difference is not simply that you come more often. At Beauty by Ruth, a beauty salon in Maghull, a course is planned rather than sold, which means the spacing, the order and the point at which everything is reviewed are all decided around your skin rather than around a package with a fixed number of sessions. Understanding how that works makes it far easier to...
Summer Foot Care For Active Women
Summer foot care matters far more to women who are on their feet than to anyone else, and it is the group that most often neglects it entirely. If your summer involves the coastal path at Formby, laps of the park, a parkrun on Saturday morning, long days standing at work or simply walking everywhere because the weather finally allows it, your feet are doing considerably more work than they did in January. At Beauty by Ruth, a beauty salon...
Repairing Your Skin Barrier After A Summer In The Sun
Repairing your skin barrier is the quiet work of late summer, and it is the reason so many women find their skin behaving oddly in August and September without being able to say why. Skin that coped perfectly well in spring becomes tight, flushed, unpredictably shiny in some places and flaky in others. At Beauty by Ruth, a beauty salon in Maghull, this is the most common concern women bring through the door once the holidays are over, and it...
Choosing Between A Medi Pedi And A Foot Health Treatment
Deciding between a Medi Pedi and a foot health treatment is one of the questions Ruth is asked most often, particularly at the end of summer when feet have had several months of sandals, beaches and hot pavements. Both appointments at Beauty by Ruth, a beauty salon in Maghull, are concerned with the condition of your feet rather than simply their appearance, but they suit different situations, and booking the wrong one means leaving with feet that look better without...
Why Ingrown Toenails Flare Up In Summer
Ingrown toenails have a season, and it is this one. Every year from June onwards, appointments at Beauty by Ruth, a beauty salon in Maghull, include a steady stream of women whose big toe has become sore, red and tender along one edge, usually with no obvious explanation. There almost always is an explanation, and it is generally a combination of warm weather, changed footwear and a well-meant attempt at home nail care that has gone slightly awry. (more…)
How To Tell Corns And Calluses Apart
Corns and calluses are routinely confused with each other and with ordinary hard skin, and by August a great many women in Maghull have at least one of the three without being sure which. It matters, because the three respond to quite different treatment and one of them will not improve at all with the foot file sitting in your bathroom cupboard. At Beauty by Ruth, a beauty salon in Maghull, this is one of the most common reasons women...
Understanding Your Leg Waxing Regrowth Cycle
Your leg waxing regrowth cycle is the reason your third wax of the summer feels completely different from your first, and understanding it is what separates women who are genuinely smooth from June to September from those who feel they are forever chasing it. At Beauty by Ruth, a beauty salon in Maghull, this is the conversation Ruth has most often with new clients, because almost nobody is told how hair growth actually works before they start. (more…)
What Happens At A First Intimate Waxing Appointment
A first intimate waxing appointment is the one women put off longest, and almost always for the same reason. It is not the treatment they are worried about so much as not knowing what the room, the conversation and the practicalities will actually be like. At Beauty by Ruth, a beauty salon in Maghull, women regularly admit they thought about booking for a year or more before ringing. This article sets out exactly what happens, because knowing the shape of...
