A little intro from Sophie…….
“I’m a very smiley and enthusiastic individual. 
My passion for learning and continuous development is something I pride myself on. 
I have enjoyed all my Level 2 therapy work which includes manicures, pedicures, eyelash & brow tints, waxing, tanning & facials. There are lots of treatments to learn ahead of me and I can’t wait to learn them and develop my portfolio of service treatments for you at Bedale Beauty. 
Looking forward to this new journey and can’t wait to meet you”

Georiga joined the team in May 2024, after starting her career in a Salon in Northallerton. Georgia brings her enthusiasm to the salon and we look forward to her settling into the BB way. A few words from Georgia………

“I love a varied selection of treatments; however, I am passionate about adding value to our clients’ lives and making them feel good about themselves. I truly believe you have to feel good on the inside to shine on the outside. I enjoy hands-on treatments, such as a massage, and glamorous treatments such as makeovers and lashes. I’m looking forward to excelling in my beauty career by learning new skills at Bedale Beauty and looking forward to meeting you”

Georgia is striving in her Guinot Facials, loving all things new, adding this alongside her Dermalux LED Light therapy training, she can’t wait to share all her new knowledge and skills with you. In the Summer of 2025, Georgia added body piercing and Cryopen to her list of services. She’s definitely expanding her portfolio offering to a wide age group.

Francessa

It was lovely to catch up with Katrina again. She gave me a lovely pedicure, very relaxing. My gel manicure was lovely and I left very happy with my holiday nails.

Louise

I look forward to my pamper session with Donna, always so in tune with what I need and I walk away feeling refreshed, devitalised, few inches taller and so relaxed. Her knowledge about the body and skin etc is equally fantastic and I love our chats 💞, the world needs Donna in a tonic I say.

The reception staff are always so helpful and polite and ready to return to work with their set of keys at a drop of a hat 😂.

My favourite Monday of a month. Thank you so much xx
