About Andrea

Welcome to AndPauseBeauty

I am a trained therapist in Biosculpture manicures, Elim pedicures, IBX repair and strengthen nail system, lash lifts and brow laminations, aromatherapy facials and Sienna X spray tans.

I believe in a holistic approach when it comes to beauty and I provide aftercare and treatment advice which reflects that. I love educating my clients about products and after care, as they are such an important part of the holistic approach. Regular manicures and pedicures achieve better results if after care is carried out at home. It can be just as simple as drinking more water, wearing gloves when doing housework or using a good hand cream or cuticle oil.

At AndPauseBeauty I want to ensure my clients relax in a safe, professional and calm environment. I carry out a thorough consultation and discuss treatment choices with my clients and I will always give my honest professional opinion. I enjoy getting to know my clients and what they like, and perhaps provide colour and style options they wouldn't necessarily chose themselves.

When I am not working in the studio I am also a non-executive Director for a disabled children's community interest company, PlayWise Learning. I am also a wife to a hard working husband (who runs his own business), mum to 5 wonderful grown up boys and nan to 2 gorgeous grandsons and the most beautiful granddaughter. So I more than appreciate how precious me time is and how very rare it can be sometimes. So make the most of your time and look after yourself by visiting me at AndPauseBeauty. ​

Experience

All of my basic training was through The Beauty Academy in London. I then went on to specialise in Biosculpture, Elim, IBX, OPI and Sienna X. I have worked in my own home nail salon now for 3 years but until December 2023 this was alongside my work in a disabled children's community interest company.

I am constantly striving to give my customers the best service and as such I have undertaken training with 2 of the best nail professionals in the industry: Marina Dobyk and Samanatha Cox. Training with these amazing ladies has given me additional skills and insights that are invaluable.

I am also a member of the Nail Tech Tribe, the Nail Dates and the Federation of Nail Professionals. All of these forums provide additional training, valuable updates and knowledge gained from a wide range of professionals. I also subscribe to the Nail Knowledge which is a weekly newsletter created by Marian Newman, Industry Nail Expert, and Doug Schoon, World Leading Nail Scientist.

Services

We have a range of services designed to make you feel your best self.

Brow Lamination and Tint

Brow lamination is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and sets eyebrow hairs to create a more uniform look. To finish a tint is applied. The tint will pick up the fine hairs on the brow giving the appearance of thicker, fuller brows.

£47.00
Brow Tint, Mapping and Shape

Eyebrow tinting is the process of applying semi-permanent dye to enhance, shape, darken, and define your brows. Darkening the tiny, fine hairs in and around your eyebrows helps create the illusion of thicker, fuller, and longer brows.

Hot wax is then used to shape the eyebrows, after mapping according to your face shape.

£30.00
Lash Lift and Tint.

A lash lift is a semi-permanent beauty treatment that curls and lifts natural lashes to make them appear longer and eyes more open. A darker tint is then applied to further enhance the lashes.

IBX is the first system of it's kind...this penetrative toughening system works inside the nail (instead of on top), and is cured with LED light forming an interpenetrating polymer network that fuses the upper layers of the nail together. The result is a tougher natural nail that can grow on it's own or act to protect the nail against frequent and potentially damaging removal.

This treatment can be added on to any manicure service for a reduced price of £15. If having this as a standalone treatment a basic manicure will also be carried out (file shape, cuticle work and buffing of the nail).
