What do you like most about working for Believe in Beautiful?
I love the culture Francesca and Andrew have created. It’s like we are one big family. The culture between our team members is then passed on to our clients into a welcoming and happy environment. I work with an amazing group of girls and I have learnt a lot of management and business skills along the way.
What interested you about the Beauty Therapy Industry? Why did you want to get into this line of work?
I wanted to be a part of educating people on how to look after their skin. Especially teenagers, as that’s something I would have loved to been educated about in high school. While I really believe that beauty comes from within, appearance has a massive impact on how we feel about ourselves. So with our new brand refresh, we are empowering all of our clients to own their style of beautiful. This starts from all ages and from the first visit with us.
