The ARK Training Academy is officially open after receiving VTCT accreditation! We’re on a mission to change the industry’s perception of beauty therapist’s capabilities by offering a ‘finishing school’ scenario to ensure therapists are commercially and professionally ready and working to the highest standards.
Located in leafy Putney and headed up by Academy Director Sara Wilce, the ARK Academy offers training to all ARK therapists to ensure all customers receive superior and consistent service, as well as bespoke training and support to our Brand Partners.
But we’re not stopping there! The Academy will soon offer a variety of courses and training programmes from VRQs in manicures and massage to customer service and management training.
Our brand new Training Academy will reinforce ARK as pioneers of the beauty industry and leaders within the beauty education sector.
Well done Sara and the team!

Thanks to everyone who visited the ARK stand at Olympia Beauty, your enthusiasm for the brand helped to ensure it was a day to remember.
For anyone who couldn’t make it on the day, our team of professional therapists showcased ARK's bespoke range of treatments and products in a recreated ‘salon set’ environment, which seemed to be the talk of the show!
The ARK Salon at Olympia Beauty allowed visitors to experience the full benefits of the brand as their clients might, from the initial ARK Age Aware skincare assessment to mini treatments and the shopping experience.
After a very busy two days, all our hard work paid off as we were inundated with interest from new Brand Partners, customers and press!
We look forward to sharing our products, service and expertise with you all soon.

It's holiday season and we hope you’re lucky enough to be jetting abroad this summer! If the typical British weather has left you feeling less than radiant, we’ve got everything you need to get beach ready in an instant.
The last thing you’ll want to worry about on your well-deserved break is staying fuzz free. Try our fabulous Brazilian to achieve a smooth bikini line for longer. We use Lycon wax containing a blend of lavender, chamomile and rose to remove hair as short as 2mm and leave skin calm and hydrated.
Neglected areas are in full view in your bikini so book in for The Back Facial to give you the confidence to bare all with a smooth, clear back. Or give your whole body some tlc with The Invigorating Body Polish to glow from top to toe.
Our Revitalising Pedicure is a must for perfect feet. This hour-long treatment will leave you with baby soft skin and show-stopping toes. Choose from a selection of the season’s hottest shades including Fiesta, a flattering hot pink or Wife Goes On, a true bright red to really up the glamour stakes.
For the finishing touch try our new Beau Bronz spray tan at our Putney salon to give you that sun-kissed glow without the UV damage. Available in a variety of shades to suit all skin tones (even English Roses!) this luxurious, Paraben-free tan smells great and looks unbelievably natural.
We look forward to bringing out the beach goddess in you very soon!

Our skin has to put up with a lot at this time of year. If its not getting hot and flushed in the humid climate, its being parched by aggressive air conditioning.
Thankfully, here at ARK we’ve thought about all the daily trials your skin has to endure and created some skin saviours to see you through whatever the British summer can throw at you.
Keep those hot flushes at bay with the ARK anti-redness SkinResponse Serum. The soothing blend of Arnica, Cypress and Solomon’s Seal acts on irritated skin caused by heat, sun exposure, blemishes, dehydration or sensitivity. Recommended by Sainsbury’s Magazine, more! and Daily Express, this little wonder serum is composure in a bottle.
If you’re working in an office this summer, don’t be without our hydrating toner. The lightweight formula of Water Mint, Aloe Vera, Velvet Flower and White Tea sets make-up, instantly cools and bathes skin in a fragranced veil of moisture. This multi-tasking hero product is recommended by S Magazine and has almost sold out online but fear not, more stock is coming soon!
City dwellers know only too well the effect of pollution on the skin. Stop free radicals ravaging your skin with ARK antioxidant SkinResponse Serum, as endorsed by Women’s Fitness and Look magazine. The potent combination of Blue Lotus, Gojiberry and Vitamin E will protect your skin from environmental damage. Don’t get on the tube without it.
For a really thorough cleanse at the end of a muggy summer’s day, our remove pre skin cleanse is fantastic at melting away make-up and pollution to prepare skin for a deep cleanse with one of our Age Aware cleansers.
Hydrating Serum is nearly here!
For all devotees of our iconic hydrating serum (and we know there are lots of you!) we have some good news... it will be back in stock very soon! For anyone who hasn’t tried it yet, this cult product is a must for locking in moisture deep within your skin. We can’t wait to stock up too!
