LOUISE GIBBON – SALON MANAGER AND BEAUTY THERAPIST, NAIL TECHNICIAN AND HD BROW MASTER STYLIST

What is your favourite treatment?

‘It’s hard to pick a favourite, as I have 2. I love creating long lasting nail extensions for my amazing loyal clients, French and Ombre are a favourite, plus nice colours with glitter, who doesn’t love glitter??? I have done nails for over 22 years now, some of my loyal clients have been coming as long as that, which is amazing, I love them all. I also love doing the HD brow treatment, I just love the difference you can make doing someone’s brows, in just one treatment’.

 

What is your favourite Elemis product?

‘I have been using a few Elemis products whilst in lockdown and not wearing much makeup. My favourite being the superfood facial oil. It smells amazing and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and restored’.

What have you been up to during lockdown?

‘During lockdown I have been keeping myself busy by doing some online courses in management, mindset, hygiene in the workplace and product training. I have also been spending more time with my family and I’ve been doing some gardening and cooking as I’ve been at home at teatime whereas I normally miss as I usually work quite a few late nights. I think Teddy’s going to miss me when I go back to work, he is like my shadow, haha! I have also been enjoying the nice weather we have had, we have been so lucky during lockdown to have great weather most of the time. I’ve also enjoyed doing the weekly live twice a week with updates for everyone too, this has been a fab way of keeping in touch with clients’.

What treatment are you looking forward to having when we re-open?

‘I’m looking forward to having some lashes on and some shellac on my nails. I am definitely going to make more time to have facials though, as I’ve been looking after my skin at home a lot more with the Elemis products so I am going to have the Glow Facial as soon as I can too to achieve maximum results’.

How long have you worked at The Spa and Beauty Clinic for?

‘I’ve been there right from the beginning’.

What is your ‘go-to’ nail colour?

‘My go to nail colour is usually a red, I love nudes on everyone else, but they don’t suit me. So I would probably have a red in colder months and I like a really bright orange in summer. My bare nails are ready for some colour’.
