A recent search for the best beauticians in Plymouth has come up with some winners – as voted by you. From nail art to lashes and facials – the winning beauticians have shared why they love the industry, and it’s not just about looking good.
Creating a “safe space” for customers is all part of the service from these professionals – and beauty professionals love meeting “incredible” people through their work. The winning beauticians spoke of their “amazing clients” making their job fun and friendly.
Of course clients leave their treatments feeling like the “best version of themselves”, but the “warm” environment many beauticians create for their customers makes it all the more special.
