Posted on 18/08/2020 by freestyle

Thank you, BBC Solent for having me.   Saturday 15th August was a big day for Aesthetic clinics and Beauty salons. We finally got the green light to open our doors again after being closed since 20th March due to the coronavirus outbreak.

I also sent my clients a little card with positive thoughts as a way of staying in touch and making sure they knew I was thinking … Continue reading →
