January: warm and cosy, light and relaxing, reviving and rejuvenating.

Possibly not the most obvious words associated with this period of the year but, at Charlie Taylor Hair Health & Beauty, this doesn't have to be the case. Our Perth salon has the whole of its first floor dedicated to beauty with four individual treatment rooms including a large area filled with some of the best beauty products available.

But why visit a beauty salon in January? The dark winter nights and the cold winter days can play havoc with our health in many ways. Taking care of ourselves and a few moments out of an otherwise hectic life can have a particularly effective balancing and reviving impact at this time of year.

Take, for instance, the benefits of a range of therapeutic treatments during winter:

The cold weather naturally slows down our circulation, making everyday processes such as digestion more sluggish than usual. A purifying hot stones massage will improve circulation and increase feelings of warmth and general energy levels.

Wind, snow and rain all contribute to a dull and often dry complexion. A rejuvenating facial working with products from the MD Formulations collection, combined with a good moisturiser and SPF factor, will all serve to ensure your skin looks its glowing best, even in the darkest of months.

During winter, our immune systems are under constant attack, fending off colds and flu viruses left, right and centre. An Aveda Elemental Nature Massage, using specially blended aromatherapy oils will help to boost your immune system and keep those nasty bugs at bay.

Overindulgence during the festive period followed by a detox programme in January can often be a shock to the system. Gently relax into the process with Guinot Absolue Minceur body treatment, a full body fruit acid exfoliation including a leg and abdomen massage and mask, which is not only enjoyable but will have an invigorating effect on the body ensuring your detox diet works just that little bit better and tackles that stubborn cellulite in the process.
