House of Halo is a teeth whitening and tooth gem studio at 2/60 Waimea Road in Nelson South, next door to Devon Bakery. It offers two smile treatments: teeth whitening and custom tooth gems.
The whitening uses a 6% hydrogen peroxide gel with three adjustable light settings, so the level can be set for each person's sensitivity. It lifts surface stains, and the studio says most people see results in one visit. The studio says visitors may feel a little warmth or tingling, and the results usually last two to twelve weeks, depending on lifestyle. Aftercare tips are given.
The tooth gems come in classic Swarovski diamantés, 18k gold, silver and diamond designs, and clear crystals, coloured gems and unusual shapes. Each gem is applied with three dental-grade adhesives. The studio says the gems can last from two weeks to a year, and sometimes two to three years, depending on habits and aftercare.
