Put your hands in the air because we really do care!

Hi everyone!

We are ramping up to the reopening of the Beauty industry yet again and hopefully this will be us for the foreseeable. I know that some people are climbing the walls and can’t wait to leave the house but there are also people who will still be very cautious and will think twice about visiting certain businesses until they are seen to be doing what they can to ensure their premises is safe. I want Sacha’s to be one of those places for our clients and for my staff.

I just wanted to write a little blog post about our professional dust and virus unit that I purchased before opening in Aug 2020. I had read and listened to everything I could to be able to open as safely as possible.
I came across a company called Ravair that came highly recommended by industry professionals and had to see for myself. After some great customer service and provided information, I decided to go for it even though it was a massive expense for my small business.

This unit is the only professional unit that will remove dust, fine hair, pollen and moisture droplets. Sensors detect moisture, fine dust and particulates in the air which turns the unit up and down automatically and removes them. The unit uses a triple action glass Hepa Filter to EU Standard EN 1822-1 which exceeds all required legislation and Activated Carbon Filters. The Unit is also fitted with Flexzorb Activated Carbon Filter Material in it to increase virus protection. Also great for asthma or hay fever sufferer's which is great for me because as some of you know, I’m usually a sneezy nightmare in the salon during most seasons. I can honestly say that I was sneezing almost never in the salon last year!

The current virus is now scientifically proven to be airborne and either on dust or on moisture droplets that can last up to 8 hours. This unit will help protect our salon against airborne virus.

Here’s a wee vid from their channel - https://youtu.be/wfgxRasezTM

SO! I know thats quite a bit of info but for me, it was really important to let those of you visiting us know that we are doing everything we can to keep us all safe. As well as this unit, we will still all be wearing masks plus a visor when doing treatments. We will still be asking everyone that visits us to wear their face coverings too.

We cannot wait to open our doors and welcome you all back in. Take care & thanks for reading, I hope it helped :)

IBX: The Magic Wand for Your Nails

IBX is a revolutionary 2-step programme that repairs and strengthens your nails. This is used under gel polish, as part of a basic manicure, or on its own. 

The formula pushes through every layer of your nail using heat to create 'scaffolding' within the nail plate. 

After a few applications, you will notice your nails feel stronger with an improved appearance. Your nails will be less dry and less dull. 

IBX is perfect for anyone that has been to a nail bar where they use an electric filing tool or if you have picked at your gel polish. 

IBX Pricing

First Treatment: £10

Top up Treatment £5

We are currently offering a block of 5 treatments for £23

“Even just one treatment of IBX makes a huge difference on brittle nails.”

Rolo the Chihuahua

As some of you may know, Rolo is our salon mascot. He can be found most days lounging around, yawning, eating, sleeping, looking for a lap to lie on etc etc!

His little 'bedroom' area and my cash desk in the salon was custom made by Frazer Fyfe Creative Carpentry. 

As much as we would love Rolo running about, for his safety, he spends a lot of time in his little area snoozing so he doesn't get under anyone's feet, get covered in glitter or hair colour! So if you have an allergy or are a little scared of dogs, my wee guy won't bother you. On the other hand, if you are DYING for a cuddle, I'm sure that could be arranged at the end of your appointment! 🙊

Please follow Rolo on Instagram for your daily dose of CUTENESS!

Nutrimetics skin care

We love using Nutrimetics skin care in the salon, and we wanted to share a bit more about them. 

"Nutrimetics was founded in 1959 by Mulford J Nobbs, after his health-seeking trip to the Hunza Valley in the Himalayas. It was here in this beautiful, isolated valley that he discovered the wonderful powers of Apricot Kernel Oil on the skin for keeping lines and wrinkles at bay.

As a result of his research, the Nutrimetics signature product, Nutri-Rich Oil was born. Essentially a night oil, containing 45% Apricot Kernel oil and being rich in Vitamins A and E, it has for many years been our top selling product.

Nobbs then developed an immensely successful and world- renowned brand of natural skincare and cosmetics made from the very foods we eat.

He firmly believed that you should not put anything on your skin that you would not be prepared to eat. Today Nutrimetics combines natural botanical and plant extracts with leading edge scientific technology without testing on animals.

The brand offers high-performance natural ingredients that deliver proven results with formulations developed over 50 years.

• Perfect for sensitive skins including eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, and acne rosacea.

• Packed with anti oxidants such as grape seed extracts, to help keep ageing at bay

• Vitamins A C and E to boost collagen production, fight against free radical damage

• Peptides to help minimise the signs of ageing by firming the skin

• Hyalauronic acid to boost moisture content leaving skin smoother and plumper plus many more up to the minute anti ageing ingredients."
