Treat your mum to our special offer on Warm Wax Therapy treatments this Mother’s Day!

by Business

It’s that time of the year again where everybody in the UK can appreciate the sentiment of a very special day: Mother’s Day!

There is one thing in this world that we all have in common – regardless of colour, religion or class – we all have, or have had, somebody in our life that we call our mum. Whether biological or adoptive, mother figures have been nurturing, encouraging and inspiring us from the age of time.

We celebrate Mother’s Day every year to give thought and thanks to that one person who gave us the joy of life. But what can we gift to that special person that will ever be enough to say thank you?

With Mother’s Day just around the corner on Sunday 31st March, it’s time to get our skates on and decide on the perfect present.

Warm Wax Therapy


Here at Carmen Hancock Chiropody, we’re no different to everybody else who struggles to find that wonderful gift that shows how much we love our mums. One day just isn’t enough to show our appreciation. So, with that in mind, we’ve put together a special offer throughout March and April so that you can treat your mum to a relaxing warm wax therapy treatment with a luxurious lower leg massage for just £25*

From easing aches and pains, to soothing eczema and psoriasis – this uplifting and reviving treatment can work wonders. Our mums spend their time running around and taking care of us, so allow us to take the load off her feet with a deluxe pamper.

To book a warm wax therapy treatment for your mum, simply call Alex on our reception and quote WAX25.

Wishing a very happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful women working hard to empower, encourage and inspire those around them!
