Each month I aim to highlight complementary therapists from my local area here in South Oxfordshire, UK. Showcasing the many wonderful therapists who can help you to live your optimum life through their range of therapies. I hope this will become a hub directory accessible for all. Which is why I am so happy to introduce Isabella to you, and I hope you will support her through following her and booking a visit at Isabelluxe beauty. Her cabin is a wonderful unique haven and the facial is bliss.
( Each business is one that I have personally visited and have paid or received a treatment from and can highly recommend)
Describe a little about ‘Isabelluxe Beauty '.
Isabelluxe beauty began this year 2024. I am at the start of my self employed journey! I offer lots of beauty treatments in the cosy cabin, the most popular being facials and massage. Massage is my passion, and It is my favourite treatment to do. It is in my best interest to make the client gain the most benefits they can, and feel the very best when they leave. I will be expanding my treatment list over the next few years, as I am always training and eager to learn and offer more. I have always enjoyed facials, as I love learning about the skin. The interest began when I saw how individuals with skin struggles were affected. It made me upset to see how so many people’s confidence is damaged from this. I wanted to cater to those as much as I could, by providing a treatment that can help individuals who are finding it hard to better their skin, not only this but to allow people to pamper themselves in a calming and relaxing environment.
Do you have a favourite treatment and skincare product and why?
My favourite treatments are facials, and any kind of massage treatment, especially aromatherapy. Facials are not only relaxing for the client but also for me as a therapist. It is calming and relaxing, just what you need after a long day. It helps those who are struggling with their skin and hopefully puts them on a better journey towards self confidence! My favourite product would be the Dermalogica pre-cleanse. It has the most amazing smell, and makes the skin feel super soft! It easily removes all of your makeup and gets rid of any excess dirt left in the pores. I swear by it in my own skincare routine as well as in the facials I offer. Aromatherapy massage would be another one of my favourites, because of the different oils you can choose from to make the treatment more personal and unique. I make my own oils, after learning in my training. You can choose the best oil that would help you most with what you struggle with. It is so personal and can provide more benefits for the client.
What is the best piece of advice you were ever given?
The best advice I was ever given was from my tutor during level 3. She told us to follow the pace of the music while we massaged, to keep us at the correct pace and timing for the treatment. When I was training, it was easy to slip out of the habit of going slowly, however the calming background music would keep you on track, therefore this is what I do now to ensure the best massage.
Do you have any tips for health & wellness?
The best thing to do, I would say, is always keep an hour or two free for yourself in the day. It Is good to relax and choose to do a hobby that you enjoy in that spare time. Life can be such a rush sometimes we forget to look after ourselves. Doing something you enjoy, even if it’s having a nice cup of tea and a bath, gives you that time to unwind, and take care of your mental and physical health.
What helps you unwind & de-stress?
Personally, I like to have a pamper night by myself, or with my mum, a friend or my partner.
This usually involves doing a skincare routine, putting on a face mask, baking some cookies, making a hot drink and watching a good, cosy film! I love doing this especially at Christmas time, when all the festive movies are out. If I don’t do this, then I like to unwind by reading a good book or listening to some music.
