Looking to treat a friend, your mamma, or even better, yourself to a pamper day? Here’s our top picks for the best places in Dublin City Centre for the ultimate girly day out… and you’ll come back feeling fresh as a daisy!
Hair:
If you’re anything like us, this changing weather will be wreaking havoc on your mane. One minute it’s beautiful, sunny and hot, the next it’s wet, cold and miserable.
Wiry, dry and disheveled, it’s time to treat your tresses to a little TLC. In desperate need of an intense moisturising treatment, it’s time to turn to the professionals, and let them work their magic. At Peter Mark, they offer salon-quality masks, tailored to your exact hair needs – plus, you get an hour to relax and unwind, so what’s not to love?
Costing €13 on top of your blow-dry for one from the Kerastase range and €20 for Smartbonds, it’s recommended to get the treatment once every four to six weeks, or if you’d prefer to do it in the comfort of your own home, Peter Mark stock an array of products which you can take back to your humble abode.
Whether at home or in salon, the process is the same; wash your hair, put on the treatment, leave for 20 mins and rinse. We’re particularly fond of the Kerastase Resistance Mask, which is safe to use at home every two weeks. Winter weather, we’re ready for you!
Skin:
As we move into the cold winter months, it’s important to give the skin all the nourishment and moisture it needs. And the Renew Clinic’s 4in1 hydration facial, does just that.
The one hour treatment consists of four steps to give you perfectly, dewy skin. First, is the exfoliation, where your therapist will remove all dead skin cells using diamond tipped microdermabrasion tools.
Then, your skin is drenched with vitamin C, before a sheet mask with containing bee venom is applied to your face.
Afterwards, an LED light is placed on top of the mask, and left to work its magic for 15 minutes. The entirely painless treatment tightens pores and leaves the skin fresh, plump and bright. The treatment costs €150.
Brows:
If you’re looking for the ultimate brow experts, look no further than Elsyian brows. With locations on Dublin’s South William Street, as well as in Greystones Co. Wicklow, they offer a whole range of brow, lash and waxing related treatments, and you’ll leave with a new found adoration for your brows.
