Welcome to Beauty & Beyond
Hi, my name is Rachel, I am 54 years old and I am the proud owner of Beauty and Beyond. I launched the business over 25 years ago, after leaving my job as a full-time Personal Assistant in London, to concentrate on beauty and holistic therapy. I originally trained at Barnfield College under ITEC and have continued to increase my qualifications and further my knowledge, particularly as the industry is changing and moving so quickly.​
​
I have created a calm, welcoming space in my home in Chiswell Green, St Albans where you can relax, take your time and enjoy treatments that are tailored just for you. I don't rush appointments or book clients back to back, so you'll always have the time and attention you deserve. Being based from home on a quiet road means there's always free easy parking, no crowds and a much more personal service than a busy salon.
​​​​
Booking is easy: online, phone, WhatsApp, email, or text. Please call or whats app for book on the day appointments.
Flexible hours: Mon–Thu 9am–9pm, Fri–Sat 9am–5pm
Payment can be made by cash, card or bacs.
​​​​
I offer an extensive range of treatments including Dermalogica prescriptive facials, Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, aromatherapy massage, manual lymphatic drainage massage, post op lymphatic drainage massage, pregnancy massage, wood therapy, reflexology, waxing and lash/brow tinting. I also offer a wide selection of treatment packages.
​​​
I am very passionate about skincare, particularly as it is growing faster than any other part of the beauty industry. I have accumulated a large amount of experience with skincare and the wide range of products available. I offer a free consultation, always focusing on the integrity of your treatment and results. I do not sell any skincare products, so all advice given is unbiased.
​
My products are Vegan and not tested on animals. I have joined the Green Salon Scheme which shows that I am taking positive steps to keeping the environment safe for future generations.
​
I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists and The Guild of Beauty. I have an enhanced DBS certificate which allows me to work with special needs and elderly people. ​
​
I love my work and pride myself on carrying out beauty treatments to the highest of standards and am committed to meeting all of my customers' needs. As a result, a high percentage of my business is from repeat customers and referrals.
All male clients must be booked by a female.
​
Gift vouchers available to buy online.
​
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about a particular treatment, would like to book a free consultation for some advice or simply want to get booked in for an appointment.
​
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website and I hope to see you soon.
