Neelu at Arnotts

October 22nd, 2009

Neelu has Transported & Transformed her Threading Bar into a Beauty Emporium at Arnott’s Department store.

neelus14Due to public demand Neelu has now moved her Threading Bar from the Henry Street entrance into the main beauty hall in Arnotts. Neelu is well know for her passion and love of eyebrows, will now be extending her services to well beyond the treatment of “eyes, lashes & threading” and will now offer, her full array of natural and non-invasive beauty treatments to all Arnott’s customers.

Neelu at Arnotts’ New Beauty Emporium encompasses up to 1,000 square feet of space & will be open 7 days a week and staffed by at least six beauty therapists at any given time.

Neelu who has an innate and genuine love of beauty, has always loved to share both her knowledge and expertise with clients, during their treatments. While Neelu was threading a client she would listen to them complain and confide as to what they hated most about their looks and caused them upset and inhibited their confidence most.

Neelu would offer advice on how these flaws could be either reduced or often removed. Neelu could provide solutions on anything from how semi – permanent make up, can improve the confidence of those who have lost their eyebrows after chemotherapy, to how broken capillaries can be removed and how to best reduce the chances of them reappearing.

Instantly restoring their confidence and making them feel better about themselves!

Clients often requested if Neelu could provide such treatments for them, but many couldn’t easily travel all the way to Dun Laoghaire, so Neelu decided to provide the same services in Arnotts as she does in her Dun Laoghaire salon. Neelu at Arnotts was thus born.

“In 15 minutes time the general emergency signal will sound. It will consist of 7 blasts and one long blast on the ships whistle….” What? What do I do? Where do I stand? No one told me about this in the interview… Mild panic set in as after two weeks of intense training and a flight half way across the world I felt that I would finally be caught out by an emergency drill. Suddenly another team member grabs my hand and leads me to my muster position, I take a deep breathe in, I look around, I am outside St Marks in Venice, the sun is setting, my adventure is just started, I think I could get used to this. This scenario is played out weekly on one of the 130 luxury cruise ships operated by Steiner Fitness.

Hello, my name is Yasmin and I am one of eleven trainers for work in the Steiner Training Academy. To give you some background on me, I train the Ionithermie body treatments as well as among other task, regularly writing for ‘Scratch’ magazine.

“I joined the academy as a student in September 1996. After one month of training in La Therapie, Ionithermie and Elemis I went onboard my first vessel and started working for Steiner Leisure, the parent company who are based in Miami”

I remember thinking whilst being onboard, that, I had never worked so hard in my entire life, but I loved every minute of it. Every week was a brand new experience and adventure; each contract took me to new exciting ports. I have been to Hawaii and had a lual on the beach, ‘gone loco’ in Acapulco, traveled to snowy Iceland as well as sailing through the steamy, tropical Panama Canal.

Tuesday night saw the official launch party of IFMA in Odessa, Dame St. Dublin. Founded by LA Makeup Academy, Irish and International make up professionals gathered together to celebrate the introduction of this representative organisation for the profession of Make-Up artists in Ireland.

While enjoying a bite to eat and a refreshing drink (or two), body painted models and dancers mingled with the guests. Everyone wanted a picture! Midway through the party Lorraine O’Neill stood before the crowd and spoke eloquently about the accomplishments of LA Make up Academy, IFMA and their future promises to Irish make up artists.

IFMA is here to raise the status of make-up artistry as a profession in Ireland, to provide advisory services to its members, to private creative and competitive platforms through which their members’ skills can be developed. The Federation provides an Advice Line whereby members can get help or advice relating to trade or employment issues. IFMA is a non – profit organization. For more details see www.ifma.ie
