Three Steps To Feel Like You're On A European Holiday At Home

While we might be missing the warmth of the Italian sunshine, the cool ocean breeze on the French Riviera or the pebbled streets of the Greek Islands, here at The Parlour Room we’ve got just the thing to beat the winter blues.

Follow these simple steps and feel like you’re being transported to another world where you’ve just stepped foot after a long-haul flight, about to enter the warm sunshine, and kick-start your long-awaited European summer holiday adventure.

1. Book in for the Glow & Go

The perfect pick-me-up we all need right now, the Glow & Go is one treatment we recommend to anyone pre-event or post-flight wanting to quickly restore and revitalise their skin.

Why the Glow & GO? It’s a highly effective treatment, combining the stimulating effects of OMNILUX and restorative benefits of an O COSMEDICS peel.

For those who are yet to experience an O COSMEDICS peel, it’s an advanced exfoliation treatment designed to eliminate dead skin cells, reduce congestion, and leave your skin feeling oh-so hydrated. The OMNILUX, on the other hand, uses light therapy technology to revive the natural skin cell process by stimulating the repair of skin cells. So when used together, your skin looks and feels, instantly tighter and brighter after just one session. 

This luxurious (and cost-effective) facial also includes a hand and foot massage, double cleanse and exfoliation followed by moisturisers and SPF. So by the end of your treatment, you’re left feeling noticeably refreshed with soft and smooth, hydrated skin.

2. It’s time for a spray tan

What better way to pick yourself up in winter than with the gorgeous golden glow of a faux spray tan?!

Without any time exposed out under the sun, a spray tan is a convenient, healthier and much more accessible alternative to feeling all those good vibes that come with showcasing a beautiful tan. Perhaps one basking in the Italian sunshine?…

Before your appointment, make sure you’re moisturising regularly and ensure all hair removal, whether you’re waxing or shaving, is done at least 48hrs before.

Avoid wearing tight clothes immediately following your treatment and for a much longer-lasting tan, keep up the moisturising daily.

3. The Final Touch - A Luxury Pedicure

A pedicure is more than making your feet look pretty. It nourishes, revitalises and helps maintain good health. While there is no disputing the benefits of reflexology, a pedicure, especially in the winter months, when our skin can be at its driest, can be just what you need to feel better.

Sit back and unwind as one of our therapists pampers you to perfection. In addition to a cut, shape, file, and polish, a luxury pedicure at The Parlour Room includes aromatherapy bath salts, an exfoliating scrub, mask, massage and warming hot towel. 

Whether it’s the time taken out for yourself, or the relaxing foot massage at the end, a luxury pedicure at The Parlour Room is an experience not to be missed. It’s the perfect final touch to have you ready, prepped, and primed for a faux European holiday adventure at home. 

And now that we’re pampered to perfection, here’s our pick of the top European Inspired Sydney Restaurants you need to visit to complete the holiday at home.
