Our Beauty Therapist Jess & Amy offer a range of nail services here at Cakora Aesthetics. Whether it’s a deluxe manicure or pedicure, full set of acrylics or gel polish. We have you covered.
BIAB nails are a great option for anyone looking to grow or strengthen their natural nails. They’re also good for nail biters; the gel is much thicker and stronger than a standard polish, so it’s more resistant to biting.
Like gel nails, BIAB tends to last around three to four weeks. You’ll then have to revisit your salon to get them soaked off or infilled.
With so many nail polish treatments available, things can get confusing. Shellac nails are essentially a specific type of gel nail polish, developed by CND. It’s a liquid form of polish that’s cured under a UV lamp for a longer-wearing finish – but, as any shellac or gel nails enthusiast will know, improper removal can leave your nails feeling weak.
Acrylic nails are created using a liquid monomer and powder polymer, which is mixed carefully by your nail professional. They don’t need curing under a lamp but will require an electric drill to remove them.
BIAB on the other hand is a form of gel polish that has a stronger, more strengthening base. It’s cured under a lamp, with a thicker consistency than gel and is similarly soaked off (but it can take a little longer as the formula is quite tough). The main difference? It doesn’t damage your natural nail underneath. Hallelujah.

Soft Gel Nail extensions are made from the same type of gel that gel polish is made of. They also add length to your nails just like regular press on nails and they are strong and as long lasting as acrylics.
Because they don't involve the powder or harsh chemicals associated with acrylics, they're healthier for your nails too.

Hydrodermabrasion is a crystal-free, gentler form of microdermabrasion that combines water and oxygen to reveal a smoother, balanced skin tone. It is the latest innovation in skincare technology and is suitable for all skin types, including highly sensitive skin.
Hydrodermabrasion is highly effective in improving the skin's overall texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and giving deeper hydration to the skin. Congested and enlarged pores will become cleaner and smaller over time, if you stick to a regular facial regime.
At Cakora Aesthetics we have a range of facials to suit your needs.
The Carbon Facial, also known as the ‘China Doll Facial’ or ‘Hollywood Facial’, is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that was first made popular in Asia to achieve a flawless complexion. It is now in demand the world over.
Carbon Facial treatment combines laser/IPL technology with a special carbon cream applied to the facial region. The laser/IPL and carbon cream work in synergy to reduce skin imperfections such as enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, acne and expression lines, while also purifying and toning skin for an instantly radiant complexion.
Treatment is quick, non-invasive, and there’s no post-treatment downtime — so you can get back to work or your usual daily activities following your session. Some redness may occur, which will usually subside within a few hours and may be covered up with light makeup.
As Carbon Facial treatments ‘peels’ off the outer layer of dead skin cells, your skin is instantly exfoliated and deeply cleaned, resulting in a noticeably more radiant complexion after just one session. This is why Carbon Facials are a popular choice for celebrities and public personalities, as they can achieve an instant luminous glow before a big event when their skin has to look and feel its best.
Although you will notice an improvement to your skin after just one treatment, a course of treatments spaced at 1-4 week intervals is recommended for optimum skin corrective results.
Sonophoresis is a non-invasive adjunct skin treatment. It utilises low frequency sound wave technology to deliver active ingredients trans-dermally into the skin.
Microdermabrasion is one of the best anti-ageing skin care treatments available. This safe and painless treatment accelerates the exfoliation of dead skin cells which in turn stimulates new cell growth and the renewal of collagen. Using a gentle vacuuming system and diamond tips, microdermabrasion removes dull, dead skin cells, unclogs pores and polishes the skin. It is a non-invasive treatment that can be used to treat a number of skin concerns, on any part of the body, with no downtime.
Microdermabrasion perfectly prepares the skin’s surface for the enhanced infusion of active ingredients applied during a sonophoresis treatment.
Sonophoresis is a relaxing, non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasonic (soundwave) technology that has been shown to increase the penetration and absorption of active ingredients by up to 800%.

It improves hydration levels of the epidermis for a more even and healthy glowing complexion.
The Rare earth treatment has been designed to take you on an indulgent treatment journey towards the centre of the earth.

As the skin ages, its built-in defence systems decline and, because of this, the skin undergoes a reduction in protection as well as collagen & elastin production. The inclusion of the actives to reignite the mitochondria of the keratinocytes and fibroblasts, will work to encourage cellular renewal of the epidermis as well as the formation of new connective tissue of the dermis.
This facial treatment is designed to protect skin, especially mature skin, by delivering fresh nutrients, antioxidants and collagen building actives into the skin.

Sun’s out, guns out! Spray tan guns, that is. But before you book in for a faux glow for your next holiday, festival, wedding or even just LIFE, take heed of our top tips to extend the life of your spray tan and ensure it lasts the full 5 days!
Perhaps the single most important thing you can do to ensure a flawless fake tan is to get your skin in the best possible condition prior to walking through those salon doors. And as an added bonus, the better its condition, the better and longer lasting your tan will be! Start exfoliating every day three days prior to your new spray tan, and make sure any waxing is completed 24 hours prior to spray tan application to ensure the tanning solution doesn’t seep into aggravated pores and hair follicles. Use Sunescape’s Exfoliating Body Polish and Tan Removal Mitt for optimal pre-tan results!
Try to shower and exfoliate about eight hours prior to your appointment to allow your skin to settle and be at the optimal pH balance level for self-tan development. Avoid applying any products to your skin after showering because oils, lotions and even deodorants and perfumes can affect the way the spray tan sets on your skin – resulting in patchiness and a lighter-than-expected result.
No one wants to ruin nice clothes or cute underwear for a spray tan, but there’s actually another reason why you should go to the salon in your loosest clothes – tight-fitting clothing can wipe your tan off when you’ve just gone to the trouble of having it sprayed on! Our advice? Don’t let a bra ruin the bronze on your back! Thongs are the ideal footwear to don for your salon visit, but if you accidentally wear enclosed shoes just ask your therapist to sprinkle a little talc over your feet, especially if you’re wearing socks.
Don’t hop in the shower the minute you get home! It’s crucial you let the tan settle and continue to develop. This goes for sweating too, so skip your yoga sesh, spin class or any activities that might cause you to break a sweat.
Sunescape’s Professional Spray Tan formula is ultra-hydrating and quick drying, so you’ll only need to wait 2 hours before showering and your tan will continue to develop over the next 8 hours. Cool, huh?! When it’s time to wash, avoid long soaks in the bath and instead go for short, cool showers using a lightweight shower gel like Sunscape’s Hydrating Shower Gel. As it doesn’t contain sulphates it won’t strip your tan!
Proper hydration will make your glow last, but an oil-rich formula will make it slip right off! Use Sunescape’s Hydrating Body Butter infused with cocoa and shea butters to lock in moisture and instantly revive and hydrate dry skin.
Use a high-quality gradual tan product like Sunescape’s Gradual Tan Extender to gently replace the colour your skin loses between tanning sessions. This double-duty product is key to extending the life of your spray tan as it tops up your colour whilst keeping your skin moisturised and hydrated. Apply to freshly cleaned skin every day to maintain a deep tan or every other a day for a more subtle glow.
Using a self-tanning mousse like the Sunescape Instant Self-Tan Mousse to cover faded spots that may appear following a spray tan session (or your previous self tan session) is a great way to avoid an emergency trip back to the salon for a quick fix.
Now that we’ve shared our golden rules to ensure the best spray tan results, it’s time to book yourself in!
