No longer a secret... SECRETS OF BEAUTY officially opens new salon at Corabbey Court, Midleton
On Friday last Shauna Savage, proprietor, Secrets of Beauty was joined by family, friends, colleagues and customers as Rachel Allen performed the official opening of Shauna's new premises at Unit 6, Corabbey Court, Midleton.
Shauna's new premises are bigger, brighter and better than before, boasting a wide range of treatments and services from pampering facials to Pure Fiji and from manicures to massages.
'As my client base expanded at our old premises,' Shauna tells the East Cork Journal, 'there simply wasn't room to offer all the treatments that I wanted to. Our new salon is more modern, has excellent parking facilities and yet still offers the best treatments that it possibly can.' They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and, at Secrets of Beauty, keep those eyebrows and eyelashes in perfect condition, with a tint, trim or wax. Facial waxing, body waxing and even Apilus Hair Removal (advanced electrolysis) are available on a daily basis.

About face on skincare
We all want to have healthy, glowing skin - but sometimes
our daily routine just doesn't cut it. Secrets of Beauty, however, is a step ahead of the skincare game with Image Skincare, which is available exclusively through licenced estheticians, who are highly trained and educated in individual skincare programmes.
Made-up about make-up
Getting married? A special event to go to? Secrets of Beauty is the ideal place to get your make-up done - for one very good reason: they use a wide range of brands.
While most of us would only use the word 'esthetician' in a game of Scrabble, it's good to know that Shauna is one, as an esthetician is a specialist in skincare and has to undergone training to prove it.
'Most salons only offer one or two brands of make-up,' Shauna candidly admits, 'and some people don't like certains brands or products. At Secrets of Beauty we use Mac, Chanel, Benefit and Gosh, amongst others.'
'These products are wonderful,' Shauna enthuses. 'It's not just a case of having dry, sensitive or greasy skin - there are so many variations and it's essential to have the right skincare regime.'
And Image Skincare can help you do just that, as Shauna explains, 'Over the counter products only treat the skin's surface layer but optimal skin health is achieved by reaching live tissue. Image Skincare professional products work at the cellular level to diminish fine lines, fade sun damage, increase hydration and stimulate cellular turnover for more youthful looking skin.' At Secrets of Beauty a simple, customised treatment for your specific skincare requirements will be prescribed with a threephase process for rejuvenated, healthy skin - from Ageless, Vital C, Ormedic, Clear Cell and

Nailing manicures
Shauna Savage & Rachel Allen outside Shauna’s new and improved beauty salon - Secrets of Beauty, where Rachel performed the official opening last Friday evening Sun - there's an Image product for everyone.
And it's not just about a good skincare regime either - if you've got a regime, you need time off from it too!
At Secrets of Beauty, prepare to be pampered with a fantastic facial - whether there are problem areas to be treated, a little skin tightening required or just the urge to get lighter, brighter, happy and healthy skin - a facial at Secrets of Beauty is essential.
Body-licious summer skin
Shauna & her daughter Ruby
The summer sun not quite what you'd hoped for in 2010? Never fear, Shauna and Vani-T are here! A specially formulated, 100% organic tan, high in vitamins and pure botanicals - both Dannii and Kylie Minogue are fans - as are Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston. Customised to suit your requirements, Vani-T will give your skin a warm glow - without the worry of looking tango-tastic. Vani-T can be left on for 2, 4 or 6 hours (depending on the level of tan required) and, better still, leaves no residue so it won't stain your clothes, sheets or towels.
But, if you're still a fan of the stand-up sunbed, don't worry Secrets of Beauty is still providing this service, although age and time restrictions do apply.
Perfectly flawless For centuries, South Pacific Islanders have used a blend of pure coconut oil and local nut extracts, infused with tropical flowers, to soften, moisturise and protect their skin - and Pure Fiji have bottled it!
Pure Fiji
Pure Fiji body treatments at Secrets of Beauty are the pinnacle of relaxation from a Fijian Hot Oil Scalp Massage, a Paradise Glow or a Coconut Creme Body Glow. Trust us, you'll feel like walking on air.
Massage masterpieces
At Secrets of Beauty, let Shauna and her staff get rid of those knots and those aches and pains with one of their customised body massages. From deep tissue to Swedish, and from back to full body, an hour in one of Shauna's massage suites won't be long enough.
Choose from a delux manicure or a quick fix file, buff and polish at Secrets of Beauty. But, if acrylics were always top of your list, think again - BioSculpture Nails have arrived in Midleton. 'They're non-chip, permanent and, most importantly, they don't damage your own nails,' Shauna tells the East Cork Journal. 'While acrylic nails can leave your own nails in a shocking state, BioSculpture Nails promote nail growth as well as being more natural looking than acrylics.'
And, if that wasn't enough, they are quick and easy to remove, are available in clear, french and coloured and, because they are sealed by UV light, there's no chemical smell when they are applied. 'They are the future of false nails,' Shauna enthuses, 'just don't tell anyone they aren't real!' And, as we're talking about nails - don't forget a Delux Pedicure at Secrets of Beauty either!
Private & confidential Botox
'We're the only salon in East Cork to offer Botox and fillers,' Shauna tells the East Cork Journal. 'I'm fully qualified to do so and we've already seen a large turnout of clients for this treatment. It can be done discreetly by appointment, with late openings on Thursday and Friday. It is private and confidential and gives instant results.' For more information about botox and fillers at Secrets of Beauty, please call Shauna in complete confidence at 021 4633727. So that's Shauna Savage and the new and improved Secrets of Beauty, which - thank heavens she's not keeping hush-hush about.
