Have your calluses removed, then your toenails filed and polished for beach friendly smooth feet with BB’s Beauty and Brows callus removal with file and polish.
What are calluses?
Calluses form when your skin dries out. Pair that with the amount of steps you take every day and calluses are likely to form. But fear not! Calluses are defined as an area of thickened skin that develops where there’s a lot of friction or pressure. For example, this might be where the ball of your foot rubs against your shoe.
Callus Peel Procedure
This is the ultimate treat for your tired, dry feet, so that you walk out of either of our beauty salons in Leicester and Peterborough with soft, smooth feet and pretty polished toes. During the treatment, a special softening patch will be applied to the callused areas of your feet, and then they will be wrapped for 15 minutes, while you sit back and relax. Once the wrap is removed, one of our experienced beauty therapists will file your skin to remove dry, dead patches, and then rub in a luxurious moisturiser to make your feet look, feel and smell divine.
Next up, they will file and polish your toenails, with a colour of your choosing, perhaps bright orange to go with your tan, or dramatic black. Maybe a pretty pink is more akin to your style, especially if you want a more subtle look. We can guarantee that whatever you decide you will float away from our BBs Beauty and Brows salons smiling from ear to ear.
If the thought of getting your feet out in front of others leaves you in a slight state of panic, a callus peel is bound to work wonders for your confidence. After all, life’s too short to be worrying about your feet…
A couple things to remember
- Callus peels only take 15 minutes or so, so you can head to your local BBs Beauty and Brows salon on your lunch break and still have time to run other errands!
- Although a callus peel is a simple treatment, it may not be suitable if you have particularly dry heels. If your calluses are extremely thick or you’re also suffering from corns, it’s probably best to see a podiatrist first.
- Some people compare a callus peel to peeling an orange. This may not be the prettiest mental image, but it does go to show how effective it is!
So, if you want summer perfect feet that will look gorgeous in sandals or on the beach, call BBs Beauty and Brows now to make a booking for a callus peel and file & polish.
For the month of July, we’re offering a CALLUS PEEL + FILE & POLISH ONLY £25 (RRP £32) Available in both our Leicester and Peterborough salons. Please quote BBS/JUL/7/18 to redeem.
If you aren’t looking for a callus peel and file and polish, panic not- here at BBs Beauty & Brows we offer a huge range of beauty, hair and holistic services in both of our Leicester and Peterborough salons.
Summer is just around the corner! The weather is actually warming up for once in England, but it does mean everyone is constantly melting but we must not complain! Here’s some of our top tips to get summer ready this month!
Say goodbye to unruly brows
Your eyebrows cannot be forgotten about! They are such an important feature as they really do shape your face. Bad brows are no longer acceptable – as our strap line says, it’s all about the brows! There are a range of eyebrow shapes but our beauty therapists will be able to advise on what suits you the best. Our Beauty salons offer brow shaping services, so if you want them waxed, plucked or threaded then our walk-in beauty salons in Leicester and Peterborough are the place to go. One of the benefits of having your brows shaped professionally is that you can relax whilst the beauty therapists get to work and create a beautiful brow!
Silky smooth legs
As it gets hotter and we jet off to even hotter destinations, this does mean the legs may have to make an appearance. And as they have been hiding away for a while due to lack of sun this means the leg hairs need to be removed – thankfully waxing is a quick and easy method to remove leg hair. Waxing the leg means that you will be on your way to having silky smooth legs for your holiday and it lasts for about three weeks. You also avoid having stubble and ingrown hairs, which we seriously want to avoid. Both of our walk in salons offer leg waxing and many other types of waxing treatments so get in touch to find out more.
Eye-catching nails
The next step into looking glam whilst sipping a Mojito on the beach is to make sure your nails are looking their best! Say hello to bright, neon, eye-catching colours! A little tip: if you choose a brighter colour then it can also make you appear more tanned! That’s what summer is all about, right? We think so. There are lots of different ways you can have your nails done, our beauty salons in Peterborough and Leicester offer the following: manicures, pedicures, gel manicures, gel pedicures, or a file & polish. What colour or style will you go for this summer? Both of our salons stock a wide range of colours and finishes. Don’t forget to take a picture of your holiday nails for your Instagram feed! We’d love to see the results.
If you are looking for a professional, walk in salon, get in touch to book an appointment, or simply call in when you are next in the local area. With salons in both Leicester and Peterborough, BBs Beauty & Beauty are here to help with all of your makeup, beauty and holistic therapy needs.
The Beast of the East
As The Beast of the East and Storm Emma causes chaos across the United Kingdom, BBs Beauty & Brows want to ask our customers, both old and new to stay safe and warm while we experience this short spell of adverse weather conditions. It might be oh so cold outside, but we’ve got some crazy news that you just have to read!
While freezing your bottom in near-zero temperatures (and – minus conditions in some places!) might cause coughs, chapped lips and chilblains, the current frosty climate actually works wonders for your complexion. Turns out, women have been deliberately freezing their faces for centuries. Wise to the beautifying benefits of cruel climates, it’s a traditional Ayurvedic concept – beloved for its ability to grant your skin an enviable ‘je ne sais quoi’. (AKA: An indefinable quality that makes something distinctive or attractive)
‘Icing’ (otherwise technically known as Cryotherapy) works wonders for dulled, lack lustre complexions. You know the pretty ‘healthy’ look your skin has after a brisk, bracing walk in wintertime? Well, you can mimic that poreless, carved marble-clarity (without risking a sniffle) and here’s how. All you need is ice cubes (and ten minutes spare minutes in the comfort of your own home).
By rapidly constricting blood vessels, ‘icing’ works to take down redness, minimise the visibility of pores, reduce inflammation which is fantastic if you’re suffering breakouts, and instantly diminish puffiness. The latter is great if you’ve had a heavy weekend of fun and drinking. It’s also the perfect quick-fix when you look a bit… ‘meh’ – instantly revitalising fatigued, tired faces.
As a result of ‘icing’, everything will soon look a little ‘lifted’ and firmer, with far fewer unwanted bulges and bumps.
All you need to do (at your own risk!) to take an ice cube from the freezer and follow our instructions. While plain water ones are absolutely fine, think about making some chamomile tea ice cubes which are great for soothing or better still try some supercharged options with berries and echinacea in them to help recapture your youthful glow.
Here’s how an ice cube can make all the difference! After cleansing/showering/steaming… whatever your usual morning-time skin care routine involves, simply place an ice cube in a muslin cloth and simply sweep all over your complexion. It’s suggested that you pay attention to any areas that need a little extra ‘help’ – such areas might include eye bags and dark circles, for example.
Once complete, simply finish with a gorgeous toning spritz. As soon as your face is almost dry, apply your serum/day cream/sun cream as you would usually. You’ll find that your beauty products will absorb much more quickly. What’ more, you may also find that your make up glides on seamlessly (that’s if you still need it!).
Want to look well-rested in a few moments? Try this simple yet effective technique in the comfort of your own home and see the results for yourself. One word of wording though- if you are susceptible to broken capillaries, avoid this DIY beauty treatment. Why? This is because the rapid vasoconstriction can contribute to thread veins if you’re ‘icing’ too regularly.
This skincare SOS treatment is best reserved for mornings-after-the-night-before, or special occasions when you need to look fabulous, fast!
(Please note, BBs Beauty & Brows do not offer this DIY treatment in any of our stores)
If you are looking for a professional, walk in salon, get in touch to book an appointment, or simply call in when you are next in the local area. With salons in both Leicester and Peterborough, BBs Beauty & Beauty are here to help with all of your makeup, beauty and holistic therapy needs.

Get The Look…
Mylash Express lashes can offer a subtle and natural style, or can be built up to provide a more glamorous look. This treatment, which is popular with clients and celebrities alike, lasts up to two weeks.
After this time, the lashes should be removed and a new set applied. Here at BBs Beauty & Brows we are able to not only apply your gorgeous Mylash Express but also remove them for you so there’s no need to go anywhere else!
This short, effective, results-driven treatment is the perfect addition to your lash treatment menu, so don’t look any further. Our friendly and knowledgeable lash technicians are on hand to help create beautiful lashes for you. And now is the perfect time for some TLC in the run up to the festive period.
Hassle Free Eyelash Extensions
Using an express technique, individual synthetic mink lashes are applied across the lash line in just 30-45 minutes. This lash technique is ideal if you want to look fabulous at festivals, parties and events- or just because!
What’s more is that due to the fast application process, it’s simple to fit this hassle free treatment into your day! Before you start work, on your lunch break or after you’ve finished your day, pop into either of our walk in salons in Leicester or Peterborough and leave with beautiful looking lashes.
A Few Pointers Before You See Us
If you’ve got eyelash extensions from another salon and you’re in pain, they don’t look right, or you just need them removed, get in touch straight away. We’ve rectified work by other salons many times, so panic not. We’ll happily remove your old lash extensions for you, and apply a new set.
Don’t forget, before you come into the salon make sure your eyelashes are squeaky clean- no traces of eye makeup- prior to your appointment or walk in booking. The reason why? Traces of makeup, especially mascara creates a barrier between your natural lashes and the adhesive, causing your eyelash extensions to drop out prematurely.
Our November Offer
And the best news yet? Throughout the month of November, BBs Beauty and Brows are offering a fantastic price for Threading/ Lash and Brow Tinting / Mylash Express Lashes for only £54! (RRP £64).
Don’t wait too long though, these treatments are already proving very popular- get in touch today to book in your treatment, or call into our walk in salon for first class treatments, now and always!
This month we are talking about fabulously gorgeous Shellac Nails. (And yes, of course- BBs Beauty & Brows offer these oh so pretty nails at both of our walk in salons!) So, for those who aren’t 100% sure on what Shellac is and what it’s all about, we’re here to explain a little more….
A hybrid of nail polish and gel, Shellac will leave your nails looking like a freshly polished manicure for approximately two weeks. And while you think we may be biased in our opinion, there really is no other product on the market quite like it. In truth, there’s no other product that is applied like polish but wears like gel! Designed to withstand the rigours of daily life, Shellac is perfect for use on natural nails as well as nail enhancements.
The details of Shellac
Painting on like polish, Shellac is cured in a UV light so there’s no drying zone. What’s more, the colours are no hypo-allergenic. With a thin and flexible formula like nail polish, Shellac not only looks oh so natural but it also provides a very strong nail protection. Furthermore, the resilient mirror finish resists dullness and chipping, even during the most rigorous activities such as cleaning, partying and even mucking out the horses!
Featuring a base coat, colour coat and top coat that you would expect from any quality polish application, Shellac can last up to 14 days.
OCTOBER OFFER
For the whole of October, BBs Beauty & Brows are offering a fantastic Autumn special, just for you!
Get a gorgeous Balcare Manicure and Shellac Nails for only £30! (RRP £39).
SAVE £9 for the rest of the month…
What’s more, with the run up to Christmas fully underway and lots of parties, Christmas do’s and spending time with those you love, why not treat yourself, or one of our loved ones, with a Shellac makeover? We’ve got oodles of gorgeous colours to choose from, so what are you waiting for?

It’s all about feeling like ‘you’ again.
Your health is your most precious gift, and throughout life many of us experience illness. Whether it be yourself or others, sadly cancer and other terminal illnesses affects a large proportion of us these days. Such treatments can be aggressive (let alone scary), and many people affected may be in and out of treatment and hospitals daily, interacting with their medical teams.
People are people, and whatever they are experiencing, it doesn’t define who they are. Illness can affect anyone at any time. Undergoing all manner of medical treatment for cancer for example takes its toll both psychologically and physically. At times the only contact people have is with their medical team and machines.
For those that have been affected by cancer and other terminal or life limiting illnesses they often don’t want to stand out, or be constantly reminded of their illness. They want to be ‘normal’ and enjoy everything they can. That’s why this month we’ve decided to write and explain, as having met many clients affected by such illnesses the key thing is that… They just want to be normal, to experience everything they could before. Not to be denied of the simple pleasures, but spoken to as you would anyone else, without a giant pink elephant in the room.
Here at BBs Beauty & Brows of Leicester and Peterborough, we offer a range of amazing treatments, giving skin to skin therapy, making you feel human again, whatever battles you are facing in life. It really is true, the power of human touch should never be underestimated. So, if would like to enjoy a relaxing Pamper Package this month, don’t wait!
For the whole of September, our teams at BBs Beauty & Brows are on hand to help you feel amazing with our brilliant September special offer.
For only £39 enjoy a PAMPER PACKAGE (RRP £53) this September.
But what’s included? As part of this fantastic offer you’ll receive an Eye Design, Basic Facial and a File and Polish. All you need to do is quote /SEP/9/17 to redeem in either of our walk in salons in Leicester and Peterborough.
So, whether you are living with an illness, know someone who is, or just want to kick back, relax and unwind, BBs Beauty and Brows are here to help. Feel a million dollars this month with Leicester and Peterborough’s number one walk in beauty salons.
We can’t wait to see you…
