Rambling Rose offers two types of pedicure service Rambling Rose offers two types of pedicure service - gel polish or traditional polish.  Both have the same prep (removal of dry skin, toenail shaping, etc.) and finished off with a relaxing massage. 

The difference?  Traditional polish is cheaper and will last 4-6 weeks if looked after, but may chip if you're accident prone and kick things often.  Gel polish is more expensive and will last 6 weeks.

If you’re looking for one product that’s affordabl If you’re looking for one product that’s affordable, gentle, natural and yet a very effective way of removing all your make-up – eyes, face and even waterproof mascara – then you need to try the oil cleansing method.

Oil cleansing is suitable for all skin types, but the ratio of castor oil to vegetable oil will vary depending on your skin type. Using the wrong ratio will result in drying your skin out.  Read the full article:  https://www.ramblingrose.co.nz/the-oil-cleansing-method/

When clients book at Rambling Rose, they're sent a When clients book at Rambling Rose, they're sent an email confirmation of their appointment (so make sure you provide a valid email address that you actually use). An email reminder is automatically sent 24 hours before the appointment, and an automated text reminder one hour before the appointment starts. 

Simply not showing up for an appointment is just rude. 

A quick text to let me know you're running late or cannot make it will suffice - I often have people on a waitlist, able to fill an appointment at short notice.

If you're a fan of glitter, I've added three more If you're a fan of glitter, I've added three more glitter polishes to the collection. These can be applied on top of any other colour, or worn on their own.

This is 'Greed,' a green glitter, over the top of 'Rogue Vogue' a pastel green. 
(Please excuse the regrowth - in the crazy back-to-work rush I forgot to take a pic when they were freshly done).

Did you know that nail techs in New Zealand are no Did you know that nail techs in New Zealand are not legally allowed to cut live skin.
 
Removing live skin or cutting the eponychium (often mistaken for the cuticle - the thickened skin around the base of the nail where it joins the finger) is classed as minor surgery and can expose clients to increased risk of infection. 

I've often had clients ask why it doesn't hurt when I remove dry skin around their nails, and yet when they've had it done elsewhere it's been sore. The difference is I'm only removing dry, dead skin cells. I'm not removing any living tissue or skin still needed by your nails or fingers. 

A qualified nail tech should know the difference.
