Here at PURE, we think our clients are pretty great. You keep us busy and we love seeing the familiar friendly faces come through our doors month after month. So, to say Thank You, we’re introducing the PURE Loyalty Card.

Isn’t it pretty? And the best thing about it is that it couldn’t be simpler to use. You’ll receive a stamp every time you spend £10 in store, so if you’re in for a spa massage at £70, you’ll receive 7 stamps. Then, once your card is full, you’ll have £10 to put towards any treatment in salon next time you visit. Easy! You can pick up your card next time you’re in store and get collecting!

To celebrate the launch, we’re going to be giving away full loyalty cards (with £10 to spend in store) to some of our lovely Facebook and Twitter followers.

Get The Look: Mollie King

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Rachelle

Girl group, The Saturday’s have been all over celebrity headlines this week as they tottered about in the L.A sunshine and we couldn’t help but have a nosey at their outfits! And while we’re fans of all the girls, we absolutely love this look from Mollie King- so much so that we thought we’d recreate the look for you all to copy this weekend, even if we don’t have the sunshine to go with it?

Suit: Topshop. Scallop Edge Vest: Topshop. Shoes: Topshop. Clutch Bag: New Look. Original Self Tan: Fake Bake. Glycloactic Mask: REN.

This nude fluid suit from Topshop is actually the exact one that Mollie is wearing! The soft floaty fabric is the perfect smart casual look for the summer while the nude colour means it’s slightly more subtle than the electric blue and fuchsia short suits that are also around on the high street for the new season. Mollie has paired her suit with this scalloped white vest, also from Topshop which is plain enough not to overpower the suit but still adds a little interest with the scallop detail. Mollie has also kept the rest of her outfit simple with simple nude shoes to elongate her legs in the short shorts and a simple tan clutch bag to set things off.

We also can’t help but notice Mollie’s radiant glow whilst visiting LA, despite her recent split from model David Gandy. REN’s Glycloactic range is perfect for recreating this look with the mask in particular offering the perfect boost to complexions, leaving you radiant and glowing. And if you want even more of a glow, Fake Bake original lotion is a safe, quick and easy way to achieve a golden, natural looking tan that leaves you glowing!

What do you think? Would you wear this outfit or is it best left for the legs of Mollie and streets of LA?

Get The Look: Sienna Miller

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Rachelle

 We spotted this picture of Sienna Miller looking effortlessly chic yet casual as usual and thought we’d recreate the look for all you lovely people to copy…

Aran Knit Jumper: Dorothy Perkins Jeans: Topshop Boots: Office Sunglasses: Topshop Necklace: Topshop Bag: Topshop Fake Bake Original Tan Elemis Milk Bath

Sienna is well known for her effortless style and this outfit is a perfect example of how a few staple items can come together to create a stylish but simple look. Aran Knit jumpers have been popular for a few years now and show no sign of going away any time soon so are a great investment. The suede boots are perfectly practical with their flat sole and cosy high legs but also manage to add a bit of interest as do the hints of jewellery and accessories. Sienna is well known for her healthy glow and is a fan of Elemis products- in particular Elemis’ Milk Bath to deeply nourish and moisturise skin, leaving it more radiant and healthy looking. She also gets a helping hand from Fake Bake’s original tanning lotion to give her a healthy golden glow all year round and compliment her famous casual boho style.

What do you think? Are you a fan of Sienna’s look or do you prefer something a bit more glam?

Spotlight On… Manicures at PURE

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Rachelle

Perhaps one of the most popular of beauty treatments, the Manicure is a firm favourite with everyone and there’s nothing quite like the treat of ‘getting your nails done.’ As with all PURE treatments, we have a huge range of different manicure options making it easy to get exactly what you want from your experience. And to make it even easier, here’s a run down of what we have on offer so you know what to expect next time you pop in!

The PURE ManicureSpa Ritual Vegan Nail Polish at PURE Spa
The ‘PURE’ manicure is our ‘base’ manicure and includes nail shaping- whether it’s rounded or squared you prefer plus buffing to get rid of those nasty ridges and a polish up including base and top coat and a polish colour of your choice from our huge range from Spa Ritual Nail Polish. This polish is vegan and contains entirely natural products so it not only looks good but it’s lovely and eco friendly, too! The PURE Manicure option only takes 20 minutes, so it’s ideal when you have something special planned and suddenly realise your nails are looking a bit worse for wear!

The PURE Deluxe Manicure
This slightly longer manicure includes the PURE Manicure plus an additional treatment option of your choice. We want to make sure that you’re getting exactly what you want and need in a manicure and aren’t paying for something you don’t particularly want- plus it’s always nice to get to choose!
You can choose from: French Polish: the classic chic nail style with pinky nails and white tips for the simplest and most elegant nails.
Cuticle Treatment: Remove your unruly cuticles to get the most from your polish colour- this is a particularly good option for people who tend not to manicure at home or haven’t had a manicure in a while. We’ll soften and remove cuticles to give you an even neater finish to your manicure.
Hand Massage: You may not think it but a good hand massage from our lovely therapists can be a great treat, relieving tired and aching hands. Exfoliation and Mask: Particularly effective in the winter, our specially designed products will slough away dead skin cells and rough patches of skin before a nourishing mask deeply conditions hands and leaves them soft, supple and looking great!
Anti Ageing Treatment: Hands can often age faster than the rest of the skin and be a tell tale sign of age making it important to take care of them just as with your facial skincare. This specially designed anti ageing treatment will deeply nourish and plump up ageing skin for more youthful and  healthy looking hands.
Nail Gems or Minx Ring Finger: With the trend for nail art difficult to ignore, these options give you the chance to get in on the trend and be a little bit more adventurous. Nail gems can be added in the design of your choice or at our Minx qualified  locations in Edinburgh and Glasgow, you can have a patterned minx design added to your ring fingers for a more subtle option.

 

 

The PURE Luxury Manicure
For when you want to go all out and give your paws some real pampering, the Luxury manicure is the treatment of choice! The treatment includes the PURE Manicure plus any two of the deluxe treatment options or alternatively you could opt for a Paraffin Wax treatment which involves applying luxurious paraffin wax all over the hands before wrapping them in warm mitts to allow the product to sink into the skin and deeply nourish hands. It’s the ultimate treat for your hands!

Nail Extensions
We know everyone isn’t blessed with the longest of nails (or the will power to refuse nail nibbling) so we offer a wide range of extension options including gel and acrylics and whether you want full extensions, infills or over lays we’ll find something that’s right for you.

Gel Polish and Minx Nails
Things have moved on with nails recently with a whole range of new and exciting options. Gel Polish is one of our favourite recent additions offering polish that can last for up to 2 weeks! It goes on like a polish but is magically set with UV light resulting in a super glossy and vibrant colour that doesn’t need drying time and can’t chip. It’s magic! Alternatively, if you want something really exciting, you can go for Minx Nails where patterned nail wraps will be applied to your nails giving you amazing long lasting and unique nail designs. They’re especially great for special occasions and are a huge hit with celebs!

So there we have it- the run down of all things nails at PURE Spa! If we’ve left you unable to wait for your next manicure, you’ll be glad to know that we’re currently offering our PURE Deluxe Manicure as part of our February promotion for just £20! Find out more HERE. Alternatively, you can browse our full nail menu on our website. And don’t forget to tell us all about it next time you pop in for a manicure!

The Pure Spa Pay Day Lust List…

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Rachelle

February is a funny old month. As we emerge from January relieved to be finished with counting the post Christmas pennies, it seems only fair to treat ourselves. The problem? The shops are filled to the brim with new season pastels and mini skirts while we’re still shivering in our knitwear… We’ve put together a few suggestions to help you get around this very problem!

1. Choose Accessory Staples. Now is a great time to invest in Accessories, handbags don’t exactly depend on weather so you can be safe in the knowledge that your shiny new one won’t have to be packed away come April. This patent shopper bag from Zara is a great staple- large enough for daily use and the neutral colour will look stylish and simple with any outfit.

2. Buy Transitional Pieces. We all know that we’re not going to wake up one day in April to be met with a heat wave so it’s sensible to buy items that can be worn now and on those less tropical Spring/ Summer days. This lightweight knit from Reiss is a great example of the type of item that works well in this way. You can wear it now layered up with your winter coat and boots and it’ll still be suitable when you’re skipping about jacketless in ballet pumps in a few months time. The simple design of it also means that it won’t look ‘old season.’

3. Dress Your Nails. While nail colours may follow seasonal trends there are some classic trends that keep on going and metallics are one of them. Spa Ritual’s ‘Liquid Metal’ Polish offers a subtle take on the trend with a light metallic silver shade that’ll look equally ‘on trend’ now and throughout Summer.

4. Buy Classic Designs. Love it or hate it, there’s no escaping the on going popularity of leopard print. While some people may wish to go all out in leopard leggings or dresses, these shoes from Dune offer just a hint of the classic print. With a simple court design these can be worn in the office and more dressed up in the evening to add a little bit of excitement and fun to an every day outfit. And it doesn’t look like they’ll be going out of fashion any time soon…

5.Buy an Experience. Buying yourself a little treat can go far beyond the excitement of being handed your carrier bag. REN’s Moroccan Rose Otto Bath Oil is the perfect example with its luxurious packaging offering that great feeling of getting something special for you, it also extends that feeling of luxury with just a few drops in your bath leaving you feeling special and pampered every time you use it! Plus, if it’s good enough for Alexa and Daisy..It’s good enough for us!

So there we have it, PURE’s guide to February pay day shopping. What do you think? Do you have something else in mind? Or are you just holding out for a Valentine’s Day treat?
