High school posed unique challenges, exacerbated by the emergence of facial and body hair during my teenage years. Relentless taunts about my hair growth shattered my self-esteem, but they also drove me to take action.

​

It marked the beginning of my quest to understand the most effective permanent hair removal methods. While familiar with temporary solutions like waxing and threading, I wanted lasting results. Temporary fixes felt inadequate; I wanted a more permanent solution.

​

I eventually learned that electrolysis offered the best option for permanent hair removal at the time. Desperate for change, I consulted a beauty therapist. Despite the pain of treating one hair at a time, I endured weekly and hourly sessions over years to reduce my facial hair and regain confidence.

​

These treatments forged a strong bond with my therapist, motivating me to enter the beauty industry.

​

At 20, I earned my qualification, freelanced for a year, then joined House of Fraser for invaluable experience. After a year, I left to become a self-employed beauty therapist at home. It was a pivotal career move.

​

Though home working had advantages, increasing demands blurred work and family life. Seeking balance, I rented space in a Glasgow salon. Around then, laser hair removal emerged. Armed with research, I acquired a machine, becoming one of the few qualified therapists offering this service. It was then – 19 years ago – that I founded Beauty Haven and began providing permanent hair reduction treatments. I’ve been helping clients ever since and I’m sure I can help you too.
