Frequently Asked Questions

  • At Paloma Blanca I believe in treating the person not just the skin. Your facial is experience is designed around your individual skin and soul’s needs on the day. Your skin is as unique as you are, so your facials should be too.

    Each treatment begins with a professional consultation allowing the treatment to be tailored to you, from products and techniques treating concerns such as ageing, sensitivity, congestion or dehydration, to adjusting the massage focus to fully relax the nervous system. On booking you will be sent your consultation forms to complete prior to visiting me. This gives me a little background on you, together we can build a personalised treatment plan not only for in Salon but for at home.

  • Achieving long-lasting skin results begins with a deep understanding of you and your skin. Every new client journey starts with a Welcome Facial so I can ensure any treatment is both safe and truly suited to your needs and goals.

    We’ll begin with a comprehensive consultation, discussing your skin concerns, lifestyle, medical history, and what you’d like to achieve. This allows me to apply my clinical knowledge and experience to recommend the most appropriate treatments — which may differ from what you initially expected, but will always be in your skin’s best interest.

    Your appointment includes a thorough skin analysis and a 45-minute tailored facial. This first treatment is designed to gently explore your skin, support your nervous system, and begin building your personalised facial pathway.

    Although the treatments I offer are non-invasive or minimally invasive, it’s essential to assess suitability first, as certain conditions or factors can increase the risk of side effects. This ensures your treatment plan is both effective and responsible.

    Following your session, you’ll receive a personalised skin plan outlining recommended treatments and homecare to help you achieve the best possible results.

  • Most clients notice an immediate improvement in skin hydration, glow and an improved feeling of wellbeing. From more advanced treatments results develop gradually as the skin responds to treatment. Long-term improvement often comes from a personalised treatment plan, consistent homecare and regular treatments.

  • Preparation depends on the treatment, but generally includes avoiding active skincare ingredients before advanced treatments and arriving with clean, makeup and product free skin, so I can assess your skin in it’s natural state. Specific guidance is provided during your consultation.

  • Whatever you feel most comfortable in! If you are coming for an evening appointment feel free to come in your pjs ready to get straight into bed at home, no judgement here! For most treatments, you will remove your clothing anyway and just be in underwear, covered with sheets, towels and cosy blankets. Please remove all jewellery before your treatment. If you are a contact lense wearer, it is preferable to come in your glasses or with some solution to pop your lenses into.

  • My treatment room is located in a tranquil garden studio at my home in Walton on Thames, Surrey. It’s very close to Weybridge and Hersham, and a short drive from Shepperton, Esher, Claygate, Cobham, Oxshott, Molesey, West Byfleet and Woking.

  • Yes. Paloma Blanca Beauty is a home based studio so there is plenty of free parking available directly opposite the house on the verge and on the surrounding streets, please be mindful of other residents when you park your car. I am always here to advise.
