Welcome to Lulus Beauty NZ - Hamiltons #1 luxury nail and tanning studio ✨
Welcome to Lulus Beauty NZ - Hamiltons #1 luxury nail and tanning studio ✨
I have 8 years of professional experience specialising in natural nail health, BIAB, rubber base, gel extensions and hand painted nail art.
My most popular service is the rubber base or BIAB manicure on natural nail length, to help grow and keep nails strong and long lasting.
All manicures at Lulus Beauty include cuticle tidy + cuticle prep / exfoliation with
E File using high end diamond bits. And finished with one colour of your choice.
I have an extensive range of more than 160+ professional only salon quality gel polish colours. Glitters, nail stamping plates & on trend nail art supplies.
I only use high quality disposable files & buffers, professional only gel products and E File / prep tools to ensure safe and long lasting results.
The brand I love and use is Azure Tan, also available in self tan for those who like to tan at home.
1-4 hour development time, with a range of beautiful colour bases (green or violet base) to suit all skin tones, for a natural or dark brown tan.
I supply disposable g strings, sticky feet and hair nets. All of our spray tans are a double coat, and are set dry with a complimentary setting powder.
AZURE GREEN BASE SPRAY TAN
AZURE VIOLET BASE SPRAY TAN
AZURE RETAIL PRODUCTS ALSO AVAILABLE IN SALON
When planning to book for a spray tan, it is best to get a spray tan done 1-2 days prior to the event you are wanting it for. This gives the tan a chance to develop and settle before your big event.
It is also very important to follow the preparation and maintenance instructions for the best results.
Spray tan appointments are booked for a 15 minute time slot, so it is super important you arrive ON TIME so we can complete the service.
When you arrive for your appointment, I will discuss the result you are after and choose a solution that is best suited to you.
I have 12+ years experience in spray tanning so you can be assured you will be in good hands at Lulus Beauty NZ.
I supply disposable g strings, sticky feet and hair nets. You are welcome to bring your own g string, underwear or choose to go full nude to prevent tan lines.
If it is raining on the day of your spray tan please wear covered clothing to prevent water marks.
EXFOLIATE
Stray away from a body scrub/loofah combo as most are oil based and will leave a residue. Instead use a exfoliating mitt paying particular attention to elbows, knees, ankles and problem dry areas.
WAX + SHAVE
Waxing should be completed at least 48 hours prior to your appointment, and shaving should be completed at least 24 hours prior with a razor that lacks a moisture strip.
SHOWERING
Any bar soaps/ cream based body washes (Dove specifically) are known to leave a residue on the skin and create a barrier that the tan cannot penetrate trough and may leave streaks.
Any gel based body wash is best. Showering should be completed at least 4 hours prior to tanning to allow your pH levels to neutralise. If you must shower within 4 hours, run cold water at the end of your shower.
NO BARRIERS
Forgo any lotions, oils, deodorant, perfumes or makeup the day of your appointment. All of these can create a barrier on the skin that the tan will not adhere to.
CLOTHING
Wear dark, loose fitting clothing with open toed sandals. Please note that the bronzer in the solution may transfer to your items, but it is water soluble and should wash out. If it is raining please bring appropriate clothes to keep your tan covered to prevent water marks.
MANI + PEDI
Complete manicures + pedicures the day prior. If completed day of tan, please forgo any oils/lotions that the nail technician might apply on you. If completed the days after the tan, your tan may become uneven due to soaking, acetone, oils, lotions etc.
BEFORE RINSING
Do not get wet, or sweat until your initial rinse. This means no showering, working out, lotions, or liquid foundations on the skin until after you take your initial rinse. If you have pets do not let them lick you.
NO TOUCHING
If you touch yourself while your tan Is developing, this could result in stained palms.
INITIAL RINSE
If you do not rinse at your designated time, your tan may develop too light or too dark.
Do not use soap. Temperature should be Luke warm. If you see streaks after getting out of the shower, hop back in and use your hand to guild the left over bronzer off.
Please note: the tan will continue to develop even after the shower, so do not be alarmed if you’re not as tanned as you expect to be. Pat dry after your shower.
STAY HYDRATED
The more hydrated your skin is, the longer your tan will last. Your moisturiser should be free of mineral oil and artificial fragrance. You may use a tan extending lotion that contains DHA after day 3. In addition be sure to drink lots of water.
Pro tip - Keep skin well moisturised following your treatment as this will increase the longevity of the tan, as well as ensuring that it fades evenly and doesn’t become patchy.
FUTURE SHOWERS
Avoid using any loofahs or flannels during your showers. It is best to wash with hands only in the areas where needed (pits + privates) to ensure a long lasting tan. A pH balanced gel body wash is best. Pat dry after showers.
ACTIVITY CHECK
Avoid swimming in the pool/ ocean for long periods of time, long hot showers/baths, saunas and excessive sweating.
Your tan will not last very long if you are planning to do any of these activities so it is best to top up with a tan extender.

GRADUAL TANNING LOTION $22.90

Do not use your nails as tools! This will cause weakness which leads to chipping and breakages. Using your nails to open anything can add stress to your nails causing them to chip and snap.
If you frequently tap your nails, small vibrations are sent up your nails which can cause them to crack and lift away from your natural nail.
NEVER pick of peel off your product, this will damage your natural nail.If you do pick, pull or pop the nails off then you will leave white lines and tears on your nails which will be obvious to any trained nail technician.
Be especially careful for the first 24 hours after application.
Avoid long periods of time in water - washing dishes, baths, swimming and spa pools.
Always wear gloves when washing up, cleaning or doing gardening.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact with chlorine, sunscreen, insect repellent and body lotions.
Hair colour, purple shampoo, fake tan, coloured foods and other chemicals can cause staining to gel polish.
Matte topcoats are more pores than glossy top coats and are more likely to stain so keep this in mind when you have matte nails.
If your nails do get marked or stained, giving them a quick clean with acetone will help to remove this without compromising the quality of the gel.
Builder gel or rubber bases are a great product to use underneath your gel polish, to add strength and protection to your nail. This also helps the gel polish last longer.
We strongly recommend the use of a good cuticle oil daily (ideally 2-3 times a day). Cuticle oil keeps the natural nail hydrated and healthy under your product and will help to keep your Gel Polish lasting longer, as the healthier the natural nail is the longer your product will last.
It will also help to keep the product flexible and moving with the natural nail which in turn helps the product last longer as it means it is less likely to crack or split!
Return for regular professional manicures every 3-4 weeks.
Lulus Beauty NZ does not take responsibility for any allergies or fungal infections.If you have allergies to adhesive products or have had a reaction to any nail service in the past please let me know prior to your appointment.
I will not work on nails that have signs of fungal infection and will refer you to see a doctor.
All of our tools used are cleaned and disinfected in hospital grade solutions to ensure the best hygiene for our clients.
I also use disposable nail files and buffers. It is important that you clean your nails after gardening etc so that dirt doesn't get trapped underneath your gel which can cause infections.
If you have any other questions about how best to look after your nails then please feel free to contact me.
