Personal Statement
My passion is the beauty industry. I don't see my job as work, I see it as a hobby!
I feel my best quality is communication. I am very good and perfected my services over the years but selling is what I also love! I love to make clients feel they can ask me questions whether it's about their skin type and what could really help them or just little tips on preventing ingrown hairs.
I pride myself on repeat clientele and over the 15 years being in the industry and can confidently say I have got there... and still growing!

I also assist with spa ordering, inventory, daily opening and closing, deposits and cash ups. This role also means looking after the other 5 staff members we have working with me.

October 2017 - December 2018 - Head Therapist at The Beauty Room, Lethbridge, Canada, (High Street Salon)
Duties included:
I owned and operated my own small independant beauty business within Lethbridge,AB called The Beauty Room.
I carried out all treatments, reception duties, cleaning and sterilzation duties. I dealt with the marketing, inventory and book keeping and customer relations. I usually worked 6 days a week.
I partnerd with Guinot skincare so I could carry out a wide variety of facials many people hadnt even heard of and retail their amazing skin care line. I chose Guinot because it felt like home to me, I was already familiar with it just from being from England and having worked with Decleor when I first started in the industry at 18 years old.
I ended my business in December of 2018 to join Fuzzy Peach. At the time it seemed like a better fit and I really missed the team environement and having collegues to lean on.
