New beauty salon opens in Chesterfield

A new beauty salon, Skin & Tonic, is now open on Chesterfield’s Sheffield Road, after unavoidable delays due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The beauty rooms were originally due to open on the 24th March, the date that lockdown began, meaning that the opening had to be postponed until the government advice allowed.

Owner Emma Watson has over 10 years’ experience in the beauty industry, after gaining her BTEC National Diploma in Beauty Therapy Sciences from Chesterfield College in 2010.

Emma has previously worked at Leicestershire’s luxury Ragdale Hall Spa, as well as working for L’Oreal on national campaigns, before relocating back to her hometown of Chesterfield.

Emma, who is also a member of the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology, said: “I believe it’s important to ‘be your own kind of beautiful’. I specialise in skincare and it’s my absolute passion, it’s your body’s biggest organ so you must look after it!”

“During my career, I have learned expert skincare techniques by training with top brands such as Elemis, Decléor, Carita, Crystal Clear and Clarins. I learned nail techniques with Leighton Denny, O.P.I., CND Shellac and The Gel Bottle, tanning with Fake Bake and trained inSpa Find and Base Formula body treatments allowing me to offer such a wide range of services.”

Emma added: “I look forward to bringing my skill, knowledge and experience to a new and exciting business venture. I am excited to welcome you with wide open arms to my little haven, not far from the centre of Chesterfield.”

Skin & Tonic offer waxing for both men and women, manicures, pedicures, gel nails, lash and brow treatments, skincare and facial services, massages, and more.
