The beauty treatments I’m doing in the rundown to Eid

Townhouse nails


When thinking of nail polish, the first thing that may come to mind is its colour or tenacity, but what about its composition? At Townhouse they chose to focus on Halal friendly Nail Polish, often referred to as Breathable Nail Polish, with 32 beautiful Nailberry shades to choose from.


These specific nail polishes are oxygen and water-permeable. In a scientific approach, this means that breathable polishes offer access to air and water to reach the molecules of our body which gradually improve nail health. We often hear that “we should let our nails breathe” because they are damaged or broken. This offers a great solution to keep your nails looking pretty during a “break” or a healthier option on a more recurrent basis.


As it is water and air permeable, the breathable nail polish can also be called “Halal”, which means “permissible” in Islam. This breathable composition allows water and air to touch all the body parts involved in Wudu. Muslim Women can then be reassured and accomplish their ritual prayers peacefully.

There is also fully enclosable curtains at the Townhouse Knightsbridge salon for optimal privacy/enhancing the experience.

Townhouse Gift cards


With Eid coming up, Townhouse’s Gift cards are among the best thoughtful gifts to offer to your beloved ones.

Therapie clinic Hydrafacial

My skin is the focal point for any Eid look and a Hydrafacial is a technology-driven rejuvenating skin treatment that delivers instant results you can see and feel. It promises to deliver long term skin health and can cater to the specific needs of all skin types. 

Hydrafacial works by removing dead skin cells and extracting impurities while at the same time enriching the skin with cleansing, hydrating and moisturising serums. Hydrafacial doesn’t just work on the surface, it works deep within the skin, to deliver a superior treatment which promotes skin health.

Therapie clinic skin theory peels

Skin Theøry offers science-led clinical peels that are exclusively available to Thérapie Clinic. The results-driven peels are designed to offer significant results with instant benefits such as radiance, improved skin texture and refined pores. In the long-term, each peel has its own unique benefits helping you to achieve your healthiest skin.

Upon your initial consultation, one of our skin experts will assess your skin type and concerns, then they will tailor a personalised course of peels to cater to your skin’s needs, as well as a tailored at-home skincare routine to help you maintain ultimate skin health.

My skin suffered quite badly with acne last year, which has improved drastically – I am now on the mission to achieve my best skin yet using this treatment!

Laser hair removal sk:n

I have been getting laser hair removal for years now and from my first treatment I noticed instant results! Laser hair removal is a process which works to permanently reduce hair growth in targeted areas. Expert practitioners carry out the treatment, targeting unwanted hair with lasers to damage or destroy the hair follicles, which ultimately prevents regrowth. The laser emits light energy which is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This targets the hair roots beneath the skin at specific stages of their growth cycles, damaging the bulb and preventing regrowth, a process called photothermolysis. This is why at least 8 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to ensure all follicles are targeted at the right time.

Protein Formula

Give your nails some TLC by choosing targeted, prescriptive nail care to suit your individual needs…

Most of us love to treat our face to a deep cleansing facial or a new rejuvenating mask, so why not give the same care and attention to our nails? Even though gel manicures continue to remain popular and are an easy way to keep your hands looking shiny and fresh, regularly removing and re-applying gels can take a serious toll on your nail health. 

Gel cycling is the process of giving your nails a break by swapping out the gel manicures every few weeks for a targeted nail care routine, such as PROTEIN FORUMULA FOR NAILS, to nourish and repair any damage which may have been caused. This ‘reset’ period will provide the ultimate TLC, keeping your natural nails healthy and intact.

With over 35 years’ experience in nail health, PROTEIN FORMULA FOR NAILS has you covered with knowing what truly works. When it comes to caring for your nails, PROTEIN doesn’t believe in compromising on quality and understands that there shouldn’t be a ‘one size fits all’ approach to nail strengtheners. Each concern is different and therefore requires a prescriptive, targeted treatment to ensure the condition improves.

Whether nails are soft and thin, hard and dehydrated, damaged and weak or just require a maintenance program, PROTEIN FORMULA FOR NAILS has a formula for everyone. The overall aim with PROTEIN is to start your prescriptive nail care journey (whether that’s formula 2, 3 or 4) with a view to then maintaining optimum nail health, by moving on to PROTEIN Formula 1.

PROTEIN FORMULA FOR NAILS

“Gel Cycling” is becoming a popular trend, especially for those keen on ensuring their nails are healthy and strong whilst balancing the benefits of a long lasting, chip free, high shine gel polish manicure.If you are looking to start “Gel Cycling” then in the gel break weeks it is essential that you keep your nails hydrated, nourished and for many of us we desperately want to maintain strength in our nails.” Lou Stokes, Senior Educator & Nail Expert

PROTEIN FORMULA 2 FOR NAILS – I GROW £14.95

Protein Formula 2 has been designed to specifically target soft, thin, peeling or weak nails. The concentrated blend of proteins along with AHA’S and Panthenol will help the nail structure become denser, as it helps to rebuild links between damaged keratin fibres, whilst Biotin will increase nail strength.” Lou Stokes, Senior Educator & Nail Expert

PROTEIN FORUMLA 4 FOR NAILS – I STRENGTHEN £14.95

“If your nails have become damaged & sensitive due to poorly removed artificial nails, excessive drilling or filing then you may need a more intense treatment in your gel break weeks. If this is the case then Protein Formula 4 contains a powerful combination of Biotin, AHA’s and Hexanal. This specific formula can help to restructure and strengthen damaged nails, whilst the deeply nourishing blend of ingredients including Panthenol & Glycerin, promotes moisturised, hydrated, healthy nails.” Lou Stokes, Senior Educator & Nail Expert

Lash lift and tint – Rawr beauty

Since having my first appointment at Rawr Beauty a couple of years ago, I have always visited again to get an eyelash lift and tint because it really makes a difference especially to my small eyes!

A lash lift and tint opens up your eyes and adds length and body to your lashes. Say goodbye to your eyelash curler. A lash lift (also called lash perm) shapes and curls your lashes and offers semi-permanent hold.

Brow lamination – Rawr beauty

My brows are quite fair and patchy always on display and I do like to make my life easier and save some time when filling them in – hence why I tried brow lamination!

Brow lamination is a two-step eyebrow perming treatment that involves correcting the brow shape by setting the hairs in place using a chemical solution. In the first step, a cream is applied that breaks down bonds in the eyebrow hairs so they can be manipulated into a new position. In the second step, another cream is applied to rebuild these bonds and set the brows in their new uniform position.

If you have unruly, flat or downward growing hairs, eyebrow lamination can change the direction of growth to create a more uniform look with a higher arch and a more desirable brow shape. Brow lamination lasts 4 to 6 weeks generally, with proper care allowing the brow treatment to last as long as 8 weeks.
