Aside from 5pm on a Friday evening, not much beats that new nail feeling. A mani has us walking down the street high-fiving anyone who’ll take it. But when the nail beds need some nurturing, where does our own Treatwell community head for a fix up? We did some digging in the office, and asked our insiders for their top spots, because we’re nosey like that, but also because there's nothing like an insider tip to ensure you'll walk in confident, and walk out happy. With so many top-rated salons sitting nearby, available for booking 24/7, it’s nice to let…

Who else feels like a fraud booking the sports massage, when the closest you get to physical activity is an 8-hour Netflix viewing marathon? Just because Olympic medalists are addicted to this treatment doesn't mean your (less-than) average gym-user can't get involved too. If you're into your fitness classes, you'll get a performance-enhancing boost. And well, if you can't tell the difference between a treadmill and a tricep bar, sports massage still has major benefits. So whether or not you're embarking on a certain lengthy run this weekend (props to London marathoners), here's why you should make time for a massage.

Raise your hand if you’re a sucker for a neutral nail. I head to the salon with dreams of red and coral, and leave looking down at my 50-shades-of-beige fingertips. But with spring finally here, I’ll be going all in on geometric nail art. The trend invaded our Insta feeds in 2017, and proved just as popular on the catwalk this year, so it’s time we swatted up on the geometric trend (because that’s my kind of mathematics). A dream for the minimalists, with clean lines, and pared-back colours, the trend adds a subtle spin to pastel-toned nails. If bold…

Whether you've pulled a muscle or you're determined to flip into a backbend as effortlessly as your eight-year-old niece, a sports massage can help you limber up. Using techniques from Swedish and shiatsu massages to rub away aches and pains, it's adaptable, versatile and feels great afterwards.

Sunday is Earth Day, and while many of us have now switched to reusable water bottles and supermarket tote bags, it’s easy to forget how our everyday beauty routine can impact our planet. While we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover – the urge is strong to choose a bottle of face wash or toner based on its packaging (hello Glossier). Luckily, with a few changes to your beauty regime, you can help save the Earth, one exfoliator at a time.

Itchy scalp, rapid root regrowth, orange tinge, you’ve heard the horror stories. Now it’s time for the truth. It might be the coolest shade of the summer (isn’t that right Leighton Meester?) but going platinum blonde is a big deal - you’ll need to nurture those locks like your first born. Here’s all you need to know about the proper preparation and dedicated maintenance it takes to achieve the look you love without sacrificing your hair’s health. By Rachel Spedding

Whether you're feeling in need of an energy boost or you're feeling a bit stressed, Chinese massage could revitalise you. This therapy focuses on boosting the circulation to various pressure points in the body, aiming to balance your life energy, or 'Qi'. And the techniques may not be quite what you're used to, but they all have a purpose (even the pinching – trust us).

While we struggle to find matching socks in the morning, Beyoncé was rumoured to have switched up her nail polish three times during her Coachella set on Sunday. Though it may have been fake news for Bey, we do know the secret to a speedy salon trip - express manicures. No, we won’t be changing our polish by the hour, but an express mani is the perfect match to a busy socialising schedule. So if you’re making the most of that 45 minute lunch break, here’s our round up of the best London-based nail bars, to get those fingertips in formation in under an hour (we'll…

It's not just for TOWIE stars and Olympic swimmers. More guys than ever are braving their local waxing salon. We get it, you're teetering on the edge of hair removal, but without hard and fast facts, you're not jumping. Here's the lowdown.

Unless since birth you've been blessed with a perfect complexion, taking good care of your skin is key, and good skin always starts with your cleansing routine. But have you been doing it wrong this whole time? If like me you love a bit of ritual when it comes to your skincare, then this easy cleansing guide is the one for you. Sure, we all know how to wash our face at the end of a long day, but if your idea of clearing out the daily grime is a slather of soap and water, I'm here to tell you you're doing…

Quick, we just spotted sunshine – drop everything, whip off your tights, buy a bbq, burn your knitwear. Spring is here. Feel the need to prep your pins for the outside world and free your feet from hibernation before going al fresco? Here’s what I’ll be doing before packing away the opaques. By Rachel Spedding

When a Friday 13th rolls around, it's tempting to stay indoors and hide from the world, but not this month. It's time to push your comfort zone. And if that zone involves calming music, avoiding your therapist’s eyes as you strip, and lying facedown on a table staring at their manicured toenails, Shiatsu massage will blow your mind.

Super small sunglasses are back (just when you thought we were running out of trends to revive from the 90s). We have to say, we kinda love it. After all those years of hiding our brows behind oversized sunglasses, this season’s eyewear puts them centre stage (we didn’t get microblading for nothing). So whether you're into fierce and fluffy, or a sleek and define brow, there's a retro frame to suit your vibe. All we can say is the smaller, the better. By Rachel Spedding

Hay fever, I have not missed you. A day that begins with a perfect eyeliner flick, ends in tears, literally, all because of my arch nemesis: pollen. With the season of sneezing upon us, I’m dreading mascara application and it’s smudging ways. But how will my peepers look perky without? Dear Treatwell readers, there’s an answer, and it goes by the name of LVL lashes. Meaning ‘length, volume, lift’, so basically mascara without the mascara. This is my answer to beautifully boosted lashes, without the panda eyes - here’s what to expect. By Rachel Spedding

You never really need an excuse for a massage – it’s practically a divine right of... womankind. But your body might be screaming out for a Swedish massage without you even knowing it.

Whether you've convinced yourself you've got a monobrow or a moustache (take comfort in the fact that in reality, it's probably neither), threading could be your new best friend. It's one of the quickest, most convenient ways to get rid of any unwanted fuzz.

You read that right – eyelash extensions for men are a thing. Just thank Jennifer Aniston's ex (Justin Theroux's eyelashes go on forever), Zayn Malik (that curl's like no other) and all the other gentlemen endowed with lovely lashes for inspiring men to fake it.

Ayurvedic massage or 'abhyanga' is part of a holistic Indian way of life that dates back thousands of years. They didn't have fast-paced office jobs in those days, but their therapies tackle stress effectively, that's for sure. Rebalance your humours (more on that shortly) and get ready to embrace all this eastern philosophy has to offer.

Yup – it’s spring, and no – we can’t remember the last time we saw sunshine either. The oxygen facial is the perfect antidote to average UK temperatures. A small boost of o2 can make a big impact if your skin's feeling a bit tired or drab. While they're firmly gender-neutral, the following benefits will have men's ears picking up around the country.

Dramatic red hair was all over Miu Miu's F/W18 Paris runway show last month, and frankly we can't get enough of it. But how wearable is it IRL? Our friend and avid Treatwell user Kelly has never dyed her hair before, so who better to be our guinea pig? Opting to go from her natural brunette roots to head turning copper, we caught up with her at The Lion & the Fox in Farringdon to watch the transformation unfold first hand. Spoiler alert: she looks amazing! Browse colour treatments in your area now

I’ll settle for a slick of lip balm 7 days a week, but should a fancy occasion slot itself into my social calendar, nothing cuts the mustard quite like a bold lipstick. Reds, berries, or deep rich browns, on my not-wearing-nude days, it’s nice to up the intensity. A statement colour means all eyes looking right at the lips, so to perk up my pout and ensure tip-top coverage, there’s a few simple steps I follow to keep my colour intact. Scrub, moisturise, apply and blot - easy peasy. By Rachel Spedding

One minute you’re floating around on a cloud of happy/ emotional/excited (delete as appropriate); the next your hormones are having a tantrum and you need a lie-down. Sound familiar? When you're dying to embrace calm with open arms, a shiatsu massage is a good place to start.
