We Heard You.

Real Life Is Busy — So We Changed Our Clinic Hours.
There is a sentence we kept hearing over and over again at No.1 Urban Aesthetics
“I want to book… I just can’t make daytime appointments.”
And honestly?We get it.
Life is busy.
People are working longer hours. Finishing late. Commuting. Doing school runs. Managing households. Working NHS shifts. Balancing relationships, families, responsibilities and exhaustion — all while somehow trying to still find a little time for themselves.
Not everybody can disappear for a 2pm appointment on a Tuesday afternoon.
So for the remainder of May, we decided to change things.
We Are Now Open 7 Days A Week Throughout May
Including Bank Holiday Monday
With Appointments Available After 5pm By Appointment
Because self-care should fit around YOUR life — not the other way around.
This is not about creating a “luxury influencer lifestyle.”
This is about real women.Real schedules.Real life.
And we know many people have simply stopped prioritising themselves because finding the time feels impossible.
So we listened.
Why We Extended Our Hours
The truth is simple.
Most people are exhausted.
Modern life does not stop at 5pm anymore.
Many of our clients work:
NHS shifts
office jobs
teaching roles
hospitality hours
care work
hybrid schedules
retail
long commutes
And trying to squeeze appointments into already overloaded days creates stress instead of enjoyment.
That defeats the point entirely.
Aesthetic treatment should not feel like another chore on your to-do list.
It should feel like:
breathing space
confidence
self-care
quiet time for yourself
feeling refreshed again
So instead of expecting clients to rearrange their entire lives around us, we decided to work around YOU.
Our Current May Offers
Alongside our extended opening hours, we are also running a number of limited May offers throughout the month.
Current Offers Include:
✨ Dermal Filler 1ml — Was £160, Now £90✨ Microneedling — Was £120, Now £60✨ Dermalogica ProSkin30 — Was £60, Now £30✨ Polynucleotides / Skin Boosters — Was £140, Now £120
Appointments are available throughout May:
Monday to Sunday
Including Bank Holiday Monday
Evening appointments available after 5pm by appointment
These appointments are intentionally limited because they are being fitted around our existing clinic schedule.
Once the late slots are gone, they are gone.
The Industry Is Changing
The aesthetics industry has changed dramatically over the past few years.
Clients are becoming more informed.
More selective.
More interested in subtle, natural-looking outcomes rather than dramatic trends.
Increasingly, people are prioritising:
healthy skin
confidence
freshness
professionalism
realistic treatment plans
practitioner trust
And honestly?We think that is a good thing.
At No.1 Urban Aesthetics, we have never been interested in creating “copy and paste” faces.
We believe the best aesthetics should still look like YOU.
Just fresher.More rested.More confident.
Healthy skin. Quiet confidence. Still completely you.
Why Nurse-Led Care Matters
One thing we will never compromise on is clinical standards.
As a nurse-led clinic, patient care, consultation and suitability always come first.
That means:
honest advice
realistic expectations
treatment plans tailored to the individual
safe practice
thorough consultation
and natural-looking outcomes
Not every client needs treatment.
Not every trend suits every face.
And sometimes the best aesthetic decision is knowing when NOT to overdo something.
We know social media can make aesthetics look:
instant
effortless
extreme
heavily filtered
But real clinical aesthetics should feel thoughtful and personalised.
That matters to us enormously.
The Rise Of “After Work” Appointments
One thing we have noticed recently is just how many clients actively prefer later appointments now.
There is something psychologically different about coming to clinic after work.
People arrive calmer.
Less rushed.
Less stressed.
There is no panic about getting back to meetings or fighting lunchtime traffic.
Instead, the appointment becomes:
time for themselves
a reset
part of a self-care routine
a chance to breathe
And for many clients, that changes the entire experience.
Self-Care Should Not Feel Impossible
There is a strange pressure in modern life where many people feel guilty for prioritising themselves at all.
Especially women.
We hear it all the time:
“I’ve neglected myself lately.”
Or:
“I’ve been meaning to book for months.”
Or:
“I just never get time.”
The reality is, confidence and self-care matter.
Not because anyone “owes” the world perfection.
But because feeling comfortable in your own skin genuinely impacts:
confidence
wellbeing
self-esteem
social confidence
and sometimes simply how somebody feels walking into work every day.
That is not vanity.
That is being human.
We Wanted To Make Booking Easier
This campaign is not about pressure.
It is about accessibility.
We wanted to create appointments for the people who usually say:
“I’d love to… but I just can’t fit it in.”
Now you can.
Whether you are considering:
anti-wrinkle treatment
skin boosters
Dermalogica facials
microneedling
lip filler
skincare advice
or simply a consultation
we are here throughout May with:
extended opening
evening appointments
weekend availability
and flexible booking options.
Final Thoughts
Modern life is busy enough already.
Your clinic should not make it harder.
At No.1 Urban Aesthetics, we believe aesthetics should fit naturally around your life — not force you to rearrange everything around an appointment.
So for the remainder of May:
we are open 7 days a week
including Bank Holiday Monday
with evening appointments available after 5pm by appointment
Because we heard you.
And because feeling comfortable in your own skin will never go out of style.
