Hi im Vicky, the face behind Beauty Within.
I’m a qualified beauty therapist, mam to two, and a self-confessed skincare enthusiast. My passion for skincare began at a young age, after experiencing acne myself, which gave me a real understanding of how much our skin can affect our confidence.
Before entering the beauty industry, I spent over 15 years working within a well-known health club, where I gained extensive experience in customer care. One of my roles as a Spa Host allowed me to welcome and look after clients, organise treatments, and ensure the spa ran smoothly day-to-day — and it was here that I truly found my passion. I loved being able to talk about skincare, advise clients, and help them feel their best.
In 2015, I made the decision to follow that passion and retrain as a beauty therapist. After qualifying, I quickly progressed from Spa Host to Beauty Therapist, and within a year, I was promoted to Senior Spa Therapist, overseeing a team of 13 therapists.
Since then, I’ve never looked back.
I feel incredibly fortunate to wake up each day and genuinely love what I do. My goal has always been to help clients feel confident in their own skin, enhancing natural beauty through personalised, results-driven treatments.
I am continually developing my knowledge and investing in the latest treatments to ensure I can offer the best possible results for my clients.
Over the years, I’ve built a loyal client base, many of whom have been with me since the beginning.
In 2020, after meeting Michaela, the owner of ML Hair, I knew it was the right time to take the next step. Beauty Within officially opened within ML Hair on 1st October 2020 — and it’s been an incredible journey ever since.
Beauty Within is based within the award-winning ML Hair Studio, Forebondgate. Michaela who owns the salon has been in the industry since 2006 and got premises for the hair studio in June 2020. Michaela says "I always wanted to create a quirky space where client care was our main concern. When Vicky opened, our businesses complimented each other perfectly. I now wake up and love going to work.
Had brow lamination and eye lash tint. Thrilled as always with my treatments. Highly recommended xx
