Why is Indian Head Massage so popular?

Having an Indian Head Massage is the most calming massage you will ever experience. Having your head and scalp massaged feels so soothing and calming. Putting you in relaxed and happy state

So what an Indian Head and Scalp Massage does is release all those good hormones. Like Dopamine which kinda makes you high and happy like a drug but only natural. Or Endorphins that totally soothe and relax you. Plus Serotonin which basically leaves you in a good mood like a natural anti-depressant.

Because you’re focusing so much on your beautiful head massage you start to clear your mind. Feeling more peaceful and even a little sleepy. As well as focusing on the upper back, shoulder, neck and head muscles. Also helps with Migraines, Headaches, Insomnia and Stress

Indian Head Massage

What are the fantastic benefits?

If your suffering with Headaches or Migraines regular Indian Head Massage can help relieve the pressure. By focusing on Acupressure points and Massaging the neck and shoulder areas. Another beneficial Massage for Headaches is Chinese Cupping which also uses Acupressure but with suction cups 

As well as helping with Anxiety, Stress, Depression and Insommia. When your stress levels are up Cortisol, Adrenaline and Norephrine hormones are increased.  By massaging your scalp therefore increasing oxygen supply to the brain. This is the best way  to decrease your stress levels and reduce anxiety. 

As well as relieving back, shoulder and neck ache. Improves your concentration and memory level. Increases energy levels and improves circulation therefore detoxifying your body.

Indian Head Massage

What’s in our Indian Head Massage Package?

If you’re feeling emotionally rundown and stressed out then this Massage is for you. Think of it like someone pressing your reset or refresh button. Combine this with a Shiatsu Massage which is ideal if your feeling physically rundown and tired. This type of massage focuses on the flow of the body and your overall health. Not sure which type of massage is for you 

Starting with a beautiful calming Passionfruit oil. Massaging your mid to upper back, shoulders, neck, head, scalp and face. Using pressure points to release muscles pain and tension. At certain pressure points this can help release blockages and disperse  toxins. Which balances and increases energy levels.

I get so many ladies asking me how to make their professional manicure last longer. Whether you give yourself a manicure at home. Or have a salon or mobile manicure. Most Manicures will only last 1 to 2 weeks. Try these top tips for a longer lasting professional manicure. 

Top tip 1# Don’t soak your fingernails in water, the drier your nail the longer your mani lasts

Here’s the best tips for home after your professional mobile manicure

  • Try oval or round shaped nails can chip less frequently 
  • Choosing a neutral colour can be less noticeable if it chips
  • Moisturise your hands particularly your cuticles every day with cream
  • Wear gloves & keep your hands out of water as much as possible
  • Don’t use your nails to pick at anything otherwise you will just chip them

Top tip 2# Using a base coat will stop your nails from staining & help your polish last longer

Doing your own home manicure instead here are some more great tips

  • Always file your nails one direction gently so not to weaken them 
  • After you push your cuticles wipe your nails throughly with nail polish remover
  • You must apply  base coast as this helps your polish last longer
  • Basically keep your nail polish coats nice and thin
  • Then apply 2 coats of polish & a top coat making sure each one is dry in between

Top tip 3# Before applying polish wipe each nail for at least 3 secs with nail polish remover until completely dry

Don’t feel like doing your own manicure

Here’s what’s in our pampering Spa Mobile Manicure – nail shaping, cuticle conditioning, cinnamon exfoliating hand scrub, almond oil hand massage, nourishing mango hand mask & Morgan Taylor coloured polish. Tired of regular polish not lasting try Gel Polish. Our Harmony Gel Polish Mani will last 2 to 3 weeks
