Hair and Beauty Review
Sunday, June 21st, 2009
In need of a beauty blitz, Suzanna Bain fron the Yorkshire Post headed to the RMUK hair and beauty salon in Leeds.
Due to the law of physics, there’s no getting away from the fact I’m no longer in my twenties, in spite of what I might tell myself and others.
To boost my mood a lengthy sun worshipping holiday was in order, so I headed to Egypt to gleefully speed along those wrinkles and give the aging process a helping hand.
Weeks later and my skin was feeling the strain, even thought I’d been moisturising like a women processed. My hair was parched too, with fizzy streaks of six month old bleached out highlights making me look more Worzel than wonderful.
Time for the experts at RMUK to work their magic. First it’s a Dermalogica facial with therapist Jo. After an intensive process of cleansing, exfoliating, blackhead annihilation and rehydration, I notice a definite improvement in overall condition and radiance and the positive effects last well into the following week.
Next up’s a manicure and I want bold neon brights to show off my tan. I opt for Bio Sculpture Gel nails because I’ve heard they’re a god send in terms of durability. Several intensive shopping sessions later and I’m defiantly inclined to agree, there isn’t a chip or scratch in sight. They must be indestructible.
On to my sad and sorry hair. Cue style guru Massi, who talks me through the pros and cons of attempting a miraculous transformation from Gummage to Gwyneth with a long, sleek, blunt bob. Sadly, “The Paltrow” is too high maintenance for my wash and go lifestyle and too blonde for my natural colouring, so I plump for a style and hue that will pretty much take care of itself, while giving greater depth and interest.
Enter Jon, angel of tresses, who miraculously banishes my boring nonentity of a straggly, weighty, shapeless mop by replacing it with a glamorous, textured and shoulder skimming do, resplendent with beautiful warm honey tones.
I can’t believe how great I feel after visiting RMUK and would defiantly recommend it for a pre or post holiday beauty blitz, or even if you just fancy a change.
No more waxing
