Revival Beauty Salon which recently celebrated two years in business is owned
and run by Emer Enright from Abbeyside, Dungarvan. Emer is not only qualified
in beauty but also completed courses in Hot Stone Massage and Indian Head
massage and offers her customers a range of treatments ranging from Thalgo
facials, massage, St Tropez tanning, sunbeds and nail treatments.
Emer did a great manicure for me, which lasted an hour. She used Nailtiques
products which contain proteins and nail conditioners. After a hand scrub and
massage, my hands were put in heated mittens to let the conditioner soak into
the skin. The Nailtiques Cuticle and Hand Conditioner not only rehydrates and
conditions the hand and cuticle area, but also includes sunscreens which protect
against pigmentation marks and age spots. Finally she painted my nails with a
vibrant coral OPI polish, a range loved by celebs and Hollywood starlets. Emer
and Margaret Hearne, who works with her in the salon, also do great Nailtiques
Deluxe pedicures, which are fab for brides as they can last up to one month. If
you are not happy with your own nails you can get fitted with Broadway nails
which will instantly transform your fingers and even toes.
Revival use Thalgo Facials and body treatments. The Thalgo range is based on
marine and plant ingredients which are a rich source of trace elements, proteins,
amino acids and vitamins. Facials last over an hour and include a cleanse, deep
cleanse, exfoliation, mask and massage. You can choose from a range to suit your
skin type like the Hydra-Moisture Source which combats dehydration or the BioMarine facial which is good for dry skin. The Collagen Velvet facial is a luxurious
treatment for moisture deficiency, fine lines and wrinkles and is a favourite with
mothers of the bride.
Emer recommends a bride should start having facials about three or four months
before her wedding in order to have her skin in top condition. Thalgo Body wraps
are great for brides who want to lose a few inches and fight cellulite. The one
and a half hour treatment consists of a slimming exfoliation, a draining and
toning massage, wrap and application of Thalgomince body cream. The Thalgo
Body Polish is an ideal way of preparing the skin for the big day particularly if the
bride is choosing a spray tan or having a honeymoon in the sun.
The Groom is not forgotten either in Revival and many have taken the opportunity
to visit the salon for a relaxing massage, deep cleansing facial or a customised
manicure.
Emer does great packages which are ideal for brides to be and their bridesmaids.
Relax & Revive (€85) consists of a Swedish back massage followed by a Thalgo
Prescription Facial along with an eyelash tint or Out on the Town, (€75), where
you get a Full Body St Tropez spray tan, a professional make-up application and
a clip, file & polish on fingers or toes. Revival also do wedding day make-up for
brides and this can be done in the salon or at the bride’s home.
In addition to facials, massage, nail treatments and body treatments Revival
also offers brides to be and bridal parties a full range of aesthetic requirements
including tinting, specialised waxing, electrolysis and spray tanning. Furthermore
if you want to get rid of broken facial veins, Emer recommends IPL Laser treatment,
in which a laser light is absorbed into blood vessels to break them down. IPL is
also used for permanent hair reduction.
The salon uses and supplies products from leading manufacturers such as Thalgo,
St Tropez, Nailtiques, OPI polishes and Tigi make up.
