An Essex Wedding - March/April 2022 (Issue 103)

NEWS Nearlywed All the latest from around the county ECO-FRIENDLY SKINCARE RANGE One of the UK’s leading tattoo artists, Essex-born Alice Nicholls, has launched: Four Tattoo Care Balms. These four skin balms were developed out of the idea that she couldn’t find any suitable cream, balm or gel that could offer real benefits to newly tattooed or inked skin and that most on offer were functional and didn’t have any real feel-good appeal. Wedding photography, and particularly expressing a couples’ individuality on their wedding day, has evolved over the last decade with many couples showing off their tattoos on the big day – essential then that they’re in the best condition! Alice researched the ingredients used in each balm wanting only to use the finest natural ingredients to have real benefit to the skin. Each of the four bespoke balms target a skin type and are suitable to be used on different areas of the body: Four Dry, Four Oily, Four Mature and Four Sensitive. Each are priced at £15 for a generous 30ml jar, available at selected outlets and at www.four-tattoo.care AWARD-WINNING SALON’S NEWS Award-winning men’s hairdresser and owner of TONI&GUY Billericay, Jim Shaw, and Premier Stylist at the TONI&GUY Billericay salon, Daisy Carter, have received the news they are finalists for the British Master Barber Awards Barber of the Year category. To enter the awards, Jim and Daisy had to submit one image of their men’s hairdressing work that showed judges their skills, creativeness and that stood out from the normal, showcasing them as the master of their craft. The judges then shortlisted hundreds of images of a very high standard down to just ten finalists. Owner Jim Shaw said, “To hear the news we have finalised for this award at the end of another challenging year with the pandemic is truly fantastic, we couldn’t be more thrilled. We are always pushing to be the best and to set ourselves apart from other men’s hairdressers and barbers and we’re delighted the awards are able to recognise this and appreciate the skill that goes into our creative work.” Visit: https://toniandguy.com/salon/billericay DESSERT HIGH ON THE AGENDA Leigh-on-Sea based vegan café Wild Health, specialising in delicious, indulgent and exciting healthy food, has made its bestselling vegan cheesecake range available to purchase nationwide.
