Sessions Spa

There’s no better opportunity to embrace glitz and glamour than at a Christmas Party. Sophie from Sessions Spa gives us the lowdown on necessities and extra luxuries in which to indulge to ensure you look and feel your best…

Having a good manicure and pedicure can work wonders for your confidence, especially if you are wearing open-toed shoes. Using a gel lacquer rather than a more standard polish, means your nails will stay looking good for longer – however many parties you go to over the festive season. A gelish manicure or pedicure can last for 2-3 weeks, and costs £41 each for the luxury version. Rich reds, silvers and dark blues are popular at this time of year – go bold!

It may not be the season for bare legs, but when you are putting on that party dress, waxing could be all-important. Sessions Spa offers a wide range of waxing treatments from half and full leg, to eyebrows, lip and chin, and underarms, as well as Brazilian and Hollywood, from £12-£30.

Feeling a bit pasty in the cold, wintry weather? Then get a spray tan (£27) to give you a glow and perk you up a bit. Or, have your party make-up professionally applied (£35) for an extra indulgent treat. Sessions even offers make-up lessons, so you can be taught how to do it yourself, as well as get advice on what suits your skin tone.

Then, sit down with one of our stylists and have your hair cut and finished, washed and blow dried, or go all out with colour or extensions. A complimentary consultation is available, to allow you to make the most of your look and get advice on what suits you as an individual.

If the stresses and strains of Christmas are getting you down, a lovely relaxing massage and facial can put you back in the mood to party. Christmas Eve is a great time to unwind, before the family invades.

Whether you want a deep tissue massage to relieve the tension, or a heavenly aromatherapy full body massage, Sessions Spa has got it covered, even offering hot stone versions for added pampering. Facials include cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, mask and an intensive serum, to give you that pre-party glow.

Once Christmas is all over and you have indulged in all that festive food, a detox body wrap (£65, great in the cold weather), body brushing or salt and oil scrub is the ideal way to start the new year on the right track, eliminating all those toxins and purifying the body, as well as cleansing the skin, all ready for 2015.

Spa packages (from £128) include use of the steam room, a Westwood Restaurant lunch served in the relaxation area (so you don’t even need to get dressed!), and a selection of treatments to choose from. A spa day is perfect for a group of friends, hen party or some valuable mother and daughter time over Christmas. Or, get the spa effect at home and give one of Sessions’ gift boxes of products.

Gift vouchers are also available. Treat yourself and your loved ones this Christmas with Sessions Spa.
