"I've always had a dream of starting my own beauty salon and after many successful years in the UK and Germany The Beauty Lounge was born".
Gemma started out her career in 2002 as a Nail Technician, completing the ‘All Aspects’ course with the Nail Systems International. She then proceeded to practice and perfect her skills, through research, testing and trialling of different brands. In 2012 Gemma completed the CND Conversion course; which allowed her to use the Nail Industry Leaders products. Following this she went on to complete Skill Building and Nail Artistry classes qualifying with Master status.
In 2012 Gemma started to develop her service portfolio further, it was here that her passion for eyebrows began to grow.
The summer of 2013 saw a move to Germany where Gemma made the decision to convert her home cellar into a small beauty salon, and offer services such as Nails, Tanning, and Waxing, to the British forces community. On closure of the camp in 2015 she returned to the UK and rented space within a hair salon, whilst looking for a viable premises to give The Beauty Lounge its long awaited home and begin building vision she had for the brand.
Continuous training, development and staying current with the latest trends, services and products is of the utmost importance in being able to provide a professional and superior service. Gemma does this in order to exceed expectations and improve her qualifications and professional service. In early 2017 Gemma started her path in Permanent Make Up, and now provides services such as Microblading, Powder Brows, Lash Enhancement Eyeliner and Lip Blush tattoos.
