Threading Services
What is eyebrow threading?
Eyebrow threading is an ancient hair removal technique using twisted cotton thread to remove unwanted hair from the follicle. At Mesmerising Beauty, traditional threading techniques are used to create precise, defined brows. Threading is gentler than waxing and ideal for sensitive skin.
How long does eyebrow threading take?
Eyebrow threading typically takes 10-15 minutes at Mesmerising Beauty. The quick service makes it perfect for lunch breaks or busy schedules. Full face threading takes approximately 20-30 minutes depending on the areas being treated.
Is threading painful?
Threading causes minimal discomfort compared to waxing or plucking. The experienced therapists at Mesmerising Beauty use gentle techniques to minimize any discomfort. Most clients find threading to be quick and relatively painless, especially after the first session.
How long do threading results last?
Threading results typically last 4-6 weeks, often twice as long as waxing results. The longevity depends on individual hair growth cycles. Regular threading appointments every 4-6 weeks maintain perfectly shaped brows.
What's the difference between threading and waxing?
Threading is a 100% natural technique using cotton thread, while waxing uses heated wax. Threading is more precise for eyebrow shaping, gentler on sensitive skin, causes no chemical irritation, and results last longer (4-6 weeks vs 2-3 weeks). Threading can also remove finer hairs that waxing might miss.
Can threading be done on sensitive skin?
Yes, threading is ideal for sensitive skin because it doesn't involve chemicals or heat. Mesmerising Beauty specializes in threading for clients with sensitive skin, those prone to breakouts, or anyone who experiences irritation from waxing.
Waxing Services
How long does hair need to be for waxing?
Hair should be at least 5mm (about 1/4 inch) long for effective waxing at Mesmerising Beauty. This is roughly 2-3 weeks of hair growth. The therapists use professional techniques that can remove hair as short as 2mm for optimal results.
What's the difference between Hollywood and Brazilian waxing?
Hollywood waxing removes all hair from the intimate area (front to back), while Brazilian waxing leaves a small strip or triangle at the front. Both services are performed in private treatment rooms at Mesmerising Beauty using hypoallergenic wax. Hollywood wax is £25.
How should I prepare for waxing?
Before waxing at Mesmerising Beauty: ensure hair is at least 5mm long, exfoliate the area 24 hours before (not on the day), avoid sun exposure or fake tan for 24 hours before, and wear loose clothing. On the day, arrive with clean, dry skin without lotions or oils.
What aftercare is needed for waxing?
After waxing: keep the area clean, avoid heat and friction for 24 hours, don't apply deodorants, body sprays, or lotions for 24 hours, avoid sun exposure and tight clothing, and exfoliate gently 48 hours after treatment to prevent ingrown hairs. The therapists at Mesmerising Beauty provide detailed aftercare advice.
Do you use hypoallergenic wax?
Yes, Mesmerising Beauty uses premium hypoallergenic wax suitable for sensitive skin. The salon offers professional products that minimize irritation and provide excellent results for all skin types.

How long do facial treatments take?

What's the best facial for sensitive skin?
The Kaeso Beauty Calming Facial (£35) is specifically designed for sensitive skin at Mesmerising Beauty. This treatment uses gentle products to soothe irritation and reduce redness. The therapists perform a skin analysis before every facial to ensure the treatment suits your skin type.
What's included in a luxury gold facial?
Luxury gold facials at Mesmerising Beauty (£35-£50) include cleansing, exfoliation, extraction (if needed), gold-infused masks, massage, and moisturizing. The 24-carat gold facial (£50) is the ultimate anti-ageing treatment using premium gold-infused products for radiant, youthful skin.

Eyelash Services
What's the difference between lash extensions and lash lift?
Lash extensions add individual false lashes to your natural lashes for length and volume (£25-£35 at Mesmerising Beauty). Lash lifting (LVL) curls your natural lashes upward using a perm solution combined with tint (£35). Extensions last 3-4 weeks with maintenance, while lifts last 6-8 weeks.
How long do eyelash extensions last?
Eyelash extensions at Mesmerising Beauty last 3-4 weeks with proper care. Regular maintenance appointments every 2-3 weeks help maintain fullness. The longevity depends on your natural lash growth cycle and aftercare routine.
What's LVL lash lifting?
LVL (Length, Volume, Lift) lash lifting at Mesmerising Beauty (£35 including tint) is a treatment that curls your natural lashes from the root, making them appear longer and fuller. Results last 6-8 weeks and require no daily maintenance, making it perfect for low-maintenance beauty.
Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?
While mascara isn't necessary with lash extensions, water-based mascara can be used if desired. Avoid oil-based products as they break down the adhesive. The therapists at Mesmerising Beauty provide full aftercare instructions to maximize the life of your extensions.
Tinting & Brow Services
What's the difference between brow tinting and henna brows?
Brow tinting (£8) uses traditional dye that lasts 3-4 weeks on hair. Henna brows (£12) use natural plant-based dye that stains both the hair and skin, lasting up to 6 weeks. Henna provides a more defined, fuller look. Both services are available at Mesmerising Beauty.
What are HD Brows?
HD Brows (£30) at Mesmerising Beauty is a complete brow transformation including consultation, tinting, threading, and styling tailored to your face shape. The HD Brows combination with threading and tinting (£35) provides perfectly groomed, defined brows that frame your face beautifully.
How long does brow tinting last?
Brow tinting at Mesmerising Beauty lasts 3-4 weeks on the hair. Henna brows last longer (up to 6 weeks) as they stain the skin beneath as well. Regular tinting every 4-6 weeks maintains perfect color and definition.
What's brow lamination?
Brow lamination (£25) at Mesmerising Beauty is a treatment that sets brow hairs in an upward direction, creating a fuller, fluffier appearance. Results last 6-8 weeks. Lamination is perfect for thin, sparse, or unruly brows and creates an on-trend feathered look.
