Beauty With Ruth has been operating for seven years. A year ago the salon moved to its current location in the centre of Oundle where it occupies three floors in an historic building. Owner Ruth Ireson and her staff have transformed the rustic building, combining elegance and tranquillity to create a peaceful haven full of wonderful aromas, relaxing music and a beautiful décor inspired by colour therapy to encourage peace, serenity and total calm.

In addition to Ruth, who has been practising for over 20 years, there are four beauty therapists who have all been trained to Ruth’s own exacting standards and who are fully qualified.

Beauty With Ruth offers many high quality treatments as well as a full range of professional retail products and the highly commended “Bali Sun” airbrush tanning.

The salon specialises in products by DERMALOGICA, a skin care system researched and developed by the International Dermal Institute. DERMALOGICA is a well- known brand whose formulas have ‘pioneered new standards for product performance’. All the DERMALOGICA S products are formulated from the finest ingredients available, such as essential oils and herbal extracts, and are not tested on animals, include no mineral oil, lanolin, artificial fragrance, colour or alcohol.

DERMALOGICA S’ trademark is its revolutionary Face Mapping system which allows the therapists to analyse a client’s skin methodically, zone by zone to give an accurate diagnosis of skin conditions. A salon treatment and home care regime can then be personally tailored to the client’s needs.

Other products from DERMALOGICA include; Age Smart, which is a powerful anti- ageing masque of concentrated vitamins A, C, E and F to help skin recover from damage that leads to skin aging, while enhancing barrier properties and promoting healthy tissue regeneration, and Medi-Bac, a clearing system formulated specifically to treat adult acne.

Beauty With Ruth advertises monthly special offers to entice new clients and to introduce existing clients to new treatments. The salon is also keen to welcome students and offers them a 20% discount for any treatment.
