Stilo Pedicures

What crazy weather we've had in Cambridge this week. With this warmer weather it's the perfect opportunity to get the toes out and pop on your favourite sandals. With that in mind, you will need a pedicure to get your toes looking and fancy as your shoes.

Here are our top 5 tips for the perfect pedicure….

1) When removing your old nail varnish try to use an acetone free nail varnish as acetone can dry out and harm your nails.

2) Remove any hard callous skin with a foot file when the feet are dry, concentrating on heels and the balls of the feet. Water softens the skin and therefore you may remove too much when wet.

3) When you are filing your nail work from the inside out in a sweeping motion, do not saw at the nail this can cause it to split and weaken.

4) You should always use a base coat of polish as this will not only protect and strengthen the nail but will also prevent discoloration/staining of the nail plate.

5) Roll the polish bottle between your hands rather than shaking it will prevent air bubbles.

Here at Stilo we offer pedicures from as little as £25. We also offer a fantastic new range of O.P.I coloured gel nails for both fingers and toes. Visit our website www.stilonuovo.co.uk for our more information and pricing.

We look forward to seeing you all soon.

Winter Hair Care Tips

With all this cold weather and snow we would like to share our top 5 winter hair care tips....

1. Prevention is better than cure, so if you are heading out on a frosty day, it's worth popping on some headgear. A hat (not too tight as this will restrict scalp circulation) or scarf can help to protect your hair from the winter winds and thereby reduce their drying effects.

2. Try to cut back on shampooing at this time of year as very frequent washing can dry out your hair. Washing in warm water will help your hair to retain moisture, try not to keep your head under the water for too long as heat will only add to the dryness. If you can bear it, a cold water rinse will lock in the loveliness. We recommend using Redken Real Control Shampoo which provides moisture and control for dry hair.

3. Winter is the time when your hair needs all the help it can get so proper conditioning is essential. We recommend using Redken Real Control Conditioner which not only moisturises but also repairs and detangles.

4. A rich moisturiser with plenty of natural ingredients is a winter must-have - for very thick or heavy hair, try a deep conditioning treatment once a week to lock in that essential moisture, try using Redken Intense Renewal Super Moisturizing Mask on a regular basis or once a week as an intensive treatment.

5. If you suffer with a dry, flaky scalp, try Redken Scalp Relief Soothing Balance which soothes, calms and destresses scalp whilst cleansing.
