Always amazing, Nicola is a perfectionist and incredible at what she does. Would recommend to anyone. 

I’ve been seeing Nicola for 2 years, focusing on lower back issue, after only a few visits this was fully resolved  & Nicola focused on neck, upper back & shoulders due to the tension held due to sitting all day. I used to suffer with migraines, taking time off work, I now have a weekly massage & I’ve not had 1 migraine since. Massage is vital to maintaining good health especially with having a job sitting all day. Nicola also provides advice to prevent future ailments and how to quickly target areas if niggles start. I wouldn’t go anywhere else - Thank you x

Nicola is a miracle worker. She’s not just amazing at what she does, but shes the kindest person I’ve met. Cannot recommend her enough

Patch test for Lash lift, Brow lamination or brow/lash tint

Patch test

Brow lamination involves straightening and lifting the hairs, this allows the hairs to have more flexibility to move them into your desired shape, covering any gaps or stray areas. 

After your natural brow hairs are straightened, a fixing solution is applied to keep the hairs straight, as well as a tint if desired. The result is fuller-looking brows that stay in place when brushed into shape, lasting around six weeks.  
* Patch test required 48hrs before treatment*

Brow Lamination and tint

Hot wax is used to remove any unwanted hair from the face.

Upper lip and chin wax

Eyebrow wax

Here at Sanctuary we use a combination of hot wax and plucking to sculpt your perfect brows. To define those brows further then we then add tint. We use a world famous dye & premium gel developer to achieve the best colour results. Of course all our brow treatments are Vegan & cruelty free. We recommend booking in every 4 weeks for a wax & tint treatment.

You will need a patch test 48 hours prior to this treatment. 

Eyebrow Wax & Tint

One way to think of a lash lift is a perm for your eye lashes. A lash lift takes less time & maintenance than eyelash extensions.   The treatment will be tailored to you and results can range from subtle to extreme. This treatment is also Vegan & cruelty free. * Patch test required 48hrs before treatment*

This treatment is not recommended for you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
