Pre Wedding Pampering

I spent this evening being pampered by Melissa Tyers who runs Au Naturelle Beauty in Edwinstowe, near Mansfield. It was a real joy to take some time out, previewing the treatments available to brides-to-be in the run up to their wedding. Melissa offers a full range of beauty treatments to her customers including pre wedding treatments ideal for making you feel a million dollars on your wedding day. It was the pedicure though that I plumped for in the end. Au Naturelle Beauty stocks Jessica products and polishes, a celebrity brand with a delicious selection of colours that I am already a fan of, however Melissa has trained with the Jessica organisation and really knows how to use the products to their best.

Starting with an electric pumice stone to remove any hardened skin on the balls of the feet, followed by a relaxing foot spa, she then used a salt and oatmeal scrub on my legs and feet. She applied a foot mask before massaging my legs, feet and nails with various sweet smelling creams and oils, including Jessica almond oil. My feet had never felt so soft and relaxed and I totally forgot I had been stood in high heels all day.

After some indecision I was persuaded to try a bright orange colour that looks amazing for Summer toes. There’s no doubt that a professional pedicure is an art and Melissa is clearly a perfectionist too; the finish was immaculate. Melissa seals and polishes the finished nail so the polish will be less likely to chip or smudge and is therefore ideal for long lasting pretty toes in wedding shoes.

Melissa’s salon can be found on Edwinstowe High Street and she is flexible with appointment times if you need her to fit around your big day. Why not treat you and your hens to a pampering session, have a manicure for those close-up pictures of the ring, or try the St Tropez tanning treatment for gorgeous golden skin.
