PENARTH AND RADYR
Ener-chi’s tips for a healthy autumn

To look good on the outside, you must feel good on the inside. We chatted to Judy Mancuso of Enerchi of Radyr and Penarth to find out what we can do to build up our immune systems to ward off unwelcome autumnal viruses.

Can you tell us how the immune system works?

Bascially the immune system is the body’s defence mechanism. When working well, it constantly protects us from infection, infestation and general invasion by bugs. If our immune system is poor, then we are more prone to pick up colds, coughs and viruses.

What are the causes of an unhealthy immune system?
There are many reasons why our immune system may be compromised. The good news is that there are lots of things we can do to help ourselves such as eating a nutritious healthy diet, ensuring you get plenty of rest, limiting alcohol intake and refraining from smoking. That said, we all know someone who smokes, drinks excessively and eats all the wrong foods yet looks incredibly healthy. If like me, your system suffers at the slightest over - indulgence, you may wish to boost your body’s natural defence mechanism with some of the herbal remedies available at Ener-chi.

What are your top three winter remedies?

ECHINACEA. In tablet or tincture. This wonder herb helps protect against many winter ailments.
MILK THISTLE. Well known for supporting the liver and helps expel toxins from the body .
RHODIOLA.
Natures miracle herb an adaptogen, may help support the adrenal glands, particularly helpful at times of stress or when under pressure.

A supporter to the nervous system which helps you cope at difficult times. Ener-chi stock a full range of herbal remedies including Bio-force, A.vogel, Jan de Vris, Health aid and other leading brands. Their qualified team of therapists are on hand to give you professional advice on their use.

PONTCANNA

Rachel opens new Hair Studio

We were very excited to learn that a new hair salon is opening soon in Pontcanna although not as excited as The Hair Studio’s new owner, Rachel Williams, who can’t wait to open the doors to clients familiar with her work and of course new clients.



Congratulations on your new venture Rachel. When does The Hair Studio open for business?
Thank you. I’m really excited about opening. Hopefully it will be sometime in September.

Why Pontcanna?

When I researched the Cardiff area, Pontcanna with its coffee quarter, boutiques, interiors shops, and up market jewellery shop, it was an obvious place to consider. I will be the only salon on Cathedral Road, so I’m hoping that a customer base will follow, especially with the passing trade.

Will you be having a launch?
A launch will come but we’re waiting for the right time.

Why did you decide to call it The Hair Studio?
The Hair Studio was an obvious title for me, as it’s straight to the point and also ties in quite nicely with the other family business a few doors down, The Jewellery Studio.



Where did you acquire your skills?
At the age of 15, I went to work for The Hair Business in Cowbridge. I was one of their top stylists, learning everything there that I know today.
The training I received there taught me the cutting, colouring and hair up skills. In later years, I was responsible for training the younger recruits. I involve myself in all aspects of hairdressing. I’ve gained a reputation for my cutting skills and my ability to do hair extensions. I also get a lot of satisfaction for creating hair up styles for events such as weddings.

Which products will you be using?
La Biosthetique is the product line I’ve found. It’s based on the individual con dition of your scalp, as well as on the development phases of your hair. It strengthens and supports the hair’s natural lifecycle, ideally balances out nutritional deficits in the hair roots and thus results in full, healthy and shiny hair. I’m very excited about it as I will be the first one in Cardiff to have it and I believe it’s the most up to date range available. It supports what I believe in, which is strong, healthy hair and that’s why I will be also offering hair and scalp treatments to give customers problem solvers to great homecare for use in between visits.

Will it be a female only salon?
No, I will be open to women, men and children. I’m equally as enthusiastic with men’s hair and I’m always willing to cut children’s hair.

Will you be working alone or will you have staff?
Initially I will be working alone, but I look forward to finding the right staff to join me. I want to start small and grow steadily. I love what I do and I would want my staff to feel the same!
