I am also qualified in lash lift and tinting and Microblading.
I love to give my clients a great relaxing experience and enjoy making the clients feel better about themselves after having a treatment, giving them a great service. I get job satisfaction from being creative with Acrylic’s, Nail Art, Shellac and Gelish .
It’s great to see someone with very short nails have a French Manicure and experience the illusion of longer nails. With the Lash Lift and Tint, your lashes look longer and darker without having to have extensions. It’s satisfying to see clients enjoying the relaxation from all our Spa treatments.
Vspa Retreat is a Tranquil Relaxing Spa with great customer service from our team. I look forward to welcoming regular and new clients to Vspa Retreat, where they will enjoy the Vpsa journey whether it be a nail experience or body experience. Come and enjoy the Relaxation and Tranquillity.
