Carol
At a very young age I loved anything beauty related and as I grew so did my passion, it came as no surprise when I announced I wanted to be a beauty therapist. 1985 I enrolled at Kirby College and I could hardly contain my excitement to commence my beauty therapist training.
Shortly after finishing college I opened my first beauty salon, I was thrilled to have my own business and loved building friendships with clients and to say I was devastated is putting it mildly when I gave up my beauty salon due to a family relocation.
I always kept my hand in beauty, I undertook new courses, upskilling ready for my return. I’ve continued to advance my skills and gained extensive knowledge in massage therapies enabling me to offer personalised bespoke treatments.
I was so proud when I reopened in 2014, it felt like coming home and within 2 years I had the fantastic opportunity to relocate expanding my business within Jurys Inn, I was so excited to offer spa packages and employ my wonderful daughter Jess.
We’ve become a strong united highly skilled team; we share the same passion and business ethics as we strive to offer the highest level of service using only the finest skin care products with the main focus on our client’s experience. We are very proud our hard work is acknowledged by all the wonderful 5-star reviews we’ve received and the icing on the cake so far was receiving the Highly Commended award at 2019 Beauty Industry Awards judged purely on our clients votes and reviews.
We pride ourselves on ensuring everyone is welcomed and enjoys the calming ambience we’ve created in our beautiful tranquil environment to escape from the from the challenges of life for a while.

My first love for beauty was nail varnish I loved painting nails even our cat Thomas claws. In my teens I began experimenting with makeup, doing my own and friends that’s when I knew beauty was the right career for me, it helped mum being a beauty therapist too. I left school, enrolled at Middlesbrough College commencing level 2 Beauty Therapy after completing my first year I was keen to learn more, so I continued my training and gained level 3 Beauty Therapy.
I was in a very fortunate position as mum had just relocated her business taking over Jurys Inn Beauty salon with 3 treatment rooms, reception and spa facilities. This was an amazing opening for my career starting an exciting new venture with my mum located within a 4-star hotel with pool, sauna steam room, jacuzzi and restaurant enabling us to offer spa packages.
Mum and I are a great team, I really enjoy working and running the business with her and I’ve gained so many new skills, undertaking additional learning also enhancing my nail skills too, I love doing nails chatting to our lovely clients.
Still eager to learn and advance my skills further I enrolled on level 4 beauty therapy. I am now fully qualified in Derma rolling, Microdermabrasion, Chemical peels, IPL hair removal, Enhanced IPL anti-aging facials, IPL acne, pigmentation, photo-rejuvenation treatments, Spider vein removal and Laser tattoo removal. With my advanced skills I now manage our Clinic offering non-surgical facials, body sculpting, fat reduction, advanced skin tightening, Brazilian bottom lift, photon light therapy and the ILP laser treatments.
Mum and I have recently completed a specialist cancer massage training course and with this qualification we will be able to safely offer massage therapies to clients who have experienced or receiving treatment for cancer. I also recently enrolled on Lycon wax training course and when complete I will be fully qualified in all areas of waxing including Hollywood and Brazilian.
I’m excited about our future, the progression of the business and looking forward to further technologies we introduce into the salon.
Carol and Jess have completed Specialist Cancer massage training provided by IBHA in partnership with the Amethyst Trust, enabling them to safely offer massage therapies to clients who have experienced or receiving treatment for cancer. They will also donate a percentage of every cancer massage they provide to Cancer Research UK.
