“Beauty starts from within,” says Shona Hartley from Soul Hair and Beauty Room.

A beauty therapist with decades of experience Shona knows more than a thing or two about good skin and while the treatments she offers are effective, she know there is no substitute for good nutrition, which is why she is now promoting the JS Health range of vitamins to her clients.

“It is all in your gut,” she said, “So if you want to have good skin you have to have a healthy gut. Yes, skin care helps, and we can do all these sorts of thing to help, but these are working from within out.”

Shona had long been looking for an effective supplement range and is proud to now be Orange’s sole stockist of JS Health vitamins

“Jessica Sepel, the woman behind JS Health, is just amazing. She is a nutritionist I have been following on Instagram for a while and the benefits of her vitamin range are unbelievable!” said Shona.

The JS Health Vitamins are made in Australia, all natural, sustainably source, gluten free, dairy free and most of the range is suitable for vegans.

The formulas have been created to help you naturally nourish your body, and they are each designed to address specific health concerns, such as Skin and Digestion, Detox and Debloat and Hair and Energy.

“Skin and Digestion will also help with acne and the Hair and Energy supplement is great for promoting hair growth,” said Shona.

“We've had clients take photos before they start using the supplement and then we've taken photos afterwards and the difference has just been amazing! They have been walking out the door!”

Soul Hair and Beauty Room is also the only local stockist for Environ skin care range. Their Skin EssentiA range contains a powerful combination of vitamins and other essential skin nutrients to help restore your skin’s natural vitamin A levels.

“The Environ range is designed by plastic surgeons and it is great for all skin types and it is packed with vitamin A which is essential for healthy-looking skins,” said Shona.

“We are the only stockist in Orange, and you can't buy it online, so you need to come into the salon to buy it.”

And for longer, thicker lashes, there is no substitute for Eye Envy, says Shona

“Eye envy is a product that has been around for a long time and it sells out like crazy,” she said.

“It’s combination of vitamins and strengthening peptide actually helps promotes hair growth. These days a lot of young girls are using eyelash extensions, but when they come out they pull their lashes out as well. Eye Envy helps thicken and strengthens your lashes and encourages them to grow. It also helps thicken your eyebrows as well.

Soul Hair and Beauty also regularly hosts visiting specialists: DB Beauty will be at the salon next on the 7th and 8th of August performing microblading and eyebrow tattooing; and Radiant Skin Clinic’s Linda Carnovale will be available for botox and filler treatments on the 14th of August.

“They book out every time they come, so book early,” said Shona, who has recently undertaken training to provide Reiki treatments.

“Reiki is part of that whole holistic side of beauty and it is something I’ve been excited about doing for many and will now be offering that service here at the salon.

“We also stock a range of crystal infused candles that we just can’t keep in stock they are that popular.”

Hairdresser Tammy Nonnemacher offers an extensive range of hairdressing services with a class one licence in hairdressing and barbering. Supported by Wella, Tammy also has kikoto organic henna blends on offer.

“We are a one stop shop,” said Shona. “You can have your hair, eyebrows and waxing done, or why not book in for your facial beforehand.”

And keep an eye on this space, as Soul Hair and Beauty Room will soon be home to new state-of-the-art technology from the Global Beauty Group and offering new skin treatments including hair and tattoo removal.
