Every September the same conversation happens at my treatment couch. A client eases off a pair of work shoes she has not worn since May. Then she tells me her feet have started complaining. Moving into closed shoes after sandal season causes more foot discomfort than anything else I see all year. At my beauty salon in Maghull it arrives as reliably as the darker evenings. The good news is that almost all of it is preventable. (more…)
Why Lash And Brow Tinting After Summer Makes Such A Difference
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...
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...
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...
How to Keep a Summer Pedicure Looking Fresh Between Appointments
A beautiful summer pedicure is one of those small luxuries that makes the whole season feel better, from the first warm day in sandals to evenings out and holidays away. The difficulty most women find is not getting the pedicure done, it is keeping it looking salon fresh in the weeks that follow, when feet are bare, busy and constantly on show. As a beauty salon in Maghull, I am asked about this more than almost anything else once summer...
How a Medi Pedi Differs from a Standard Pedicure
If you have ever wondered what truly separates a Medi Pedi from a standard pedicure, you are in good company. It is one of the questions Ruth is asked most often at her beauty salon in Maghull, and the difference is far greater than most women expect. Where a traditional pedicure is largely cosmetic, concentrating on polishing the toenails and tidying the foot, a Medi Pedi is a more thorough, clinically minded treatment that looks after the genuine health of...
Why Summer Sandals and Flip-Flops Can Cause Foot Problems
When the weather warms up, sandals and flip-flops come out of the wardrobe and barely go back in until autumn. They are cool, easy and summery, but the relationship between summer sandals and foot health is more complicated than most women realise, and the very shoes that feel like a relief in the heat can quietly create problems over a season of constant wear. As a beauty salon in Maghull that looks after a great many feet, I notice the...
Bridal Skin Preparation in Maghull – Planning Your Pre-Wedding Facials
Few occasions put skin in the spotlight quite like a wedding day, which is why bridal skin preparation is best thought of as a gentle plan that unfolds over months rather than a single treatment squeezed in the week before. At Beauty by Ruth, a beauty salon in Maghull, Ruth has spent more than twenty-five years helping women across Liverpool and Merseyside look and feel their best for the moments that matter most, and bridal skin is one of the...
Thinking About Microneedling in Liverpool – What It Really Does for Your Skin
Microneedling has become one of those treatments everyone seems to be talking about, and if a friend has mentioned it or you have seen it discussed online, it is natural to wonder whether it could help your own skin. At its heart, microneedling is a way of prompting the skin to renew itself, and when it is done thoughtfully it can make a real difference to texture, tone and firmness. At Beauty by Ruth, a beauty salon in Maghull, Ruth...
