About Annette

Hi I’m Annette,

I am a self-employed Beauty Therapist at Rivers Health & Beauty. I have been at the Leisure Centre since it opened in 2009 and enjoy working alongside a small group of associates. Between us, we offer a wide range of treatments.

I am happy to say I love my job; I am NVQ Level 2 & 3 qualified in Beauty Therapy. I am a trained CND Shellac nail technician and offer Manicures, Pedicures, Facials, Waxing, and many other treatments. I regularly update my training with all the treatments that I offer.
I am also an ambassador for Tropic Skincare, a range of natural organic products not only good for your skin but good for the planet too!!

I regularly update my training with all the treatments that I offer. I could go on with writing about myself but instead I asked my clients to do it for me, hears what some of them had to say…

“Visiting Annette is always a treat. She not only provides a fantastic, meticulous, and professional service she will also laugh with you and make you feel like you’re catching up with an old friend. It makes for a really relaxed atmosphere which isn’t always the case when visiting beauty salons. You don’t just come back with beautiful nails but also a renewed sense of joy.” – A.V 🙂

“You’re lovely and take great care of me with your treatments.” – J.B. Xx

“Annette is wonderful, she has a professional yet friendly way of making you feel at ease. I have never been disappointed in any treatment I have had from her (and I have tried a few!). Annette updates her skills often and actually listens to what you really want from a treatment! I wouldn’t go to anyone else now and highly recommend her services.” – S.R.

“I would 100% recommend Annette, no matter what my strange requests are for nails Annette never fails to find exactly what I want, I have always struggled with contact, Annette is the first person I have been able to relax with, I love my facials, manicures and pedicures, a whole new world has opened up for me. Thank you, Annette.” – H.V.

“Annette, I would describe you as attractive, easy to talk to, confidential, very professional. I always look forward to our time together and can’t wait to see you again.” – A.W.

“Thoughtful, honest, and considerate.” – M.A.

“I would say you always look very fresh even when you have a bad cold, nice complexion etc but most of all You are a true professional, hygiene is second to none. Always updating yourself on the latest ideas, and always able to listen to everything I say or even a moan.” – D.R.

“Well where do I start! You are the scariest person when I have to admit and show you my ravaged nails (done by me) and wait for the look. Other than that, you are lovely, and we talk about everything and nothing. Looking forward to seeing you soon.” – F.S.

“I love coming to have my nails done. It’s always a treat, we have a lovely chat and usually a giggle too whilst you are professional throughout. When I’ve had any cause to come back you’ve repaired the nail without any fuss, and this is my way of saying thanks.” – B.C.

“Annette is the loveliest eyebrow waxer I have ever had (she is the only one I have had but that is beside the point). Not only does she do a great job, always with a smile (don’t know who said resting bitch face… but I think not!) but she also has great patience and fortitude when appointments are forgotten or things run a little late! Everyone needs an Annette in their lives.” – H.N.

“I can trust Annette 100%. She is reliable, honest, flexible, and professional. She always works her magic and makes every appointment into a date!! Thanks Annette! 🥰” – L.S.

“Annette is the best listener in the universe! She also knows how to bring you back to reality with a “short sharp forehead slap” Love Nettie she’s awesome! Oh, and very good at being a Beauty Therapist ❤️” – F.G

“From someone who couldn’t stand having her feet touched – thanks to Annette I now look forward to my regular pedicure where I can relax & enjoy a chat whilst having my feet pampered” Missing seeing you.” – J.D.

“Annette is extremely professional delivering a high standard of a variety of treatments. She is always open to discussing needs & suggesting alternatives which I hadn’t thought of or known about. Above everything I feel totally at ease with her. she has not only been a beauty therapist for me but has given me a listening ear when i have most needed it.” – S.B.

“Professional, knowledgeable, empathetic, friendly, a pleasure to know. Sorely missed in the lockdown. Can’t wait to see you again.” – D.W.

“Annette is friendly, professional and I couldn’t live without my monthly facial! (Apart from having to during lockdown!) It’s a little bit of me time that has helped my problem skin and I no longer have to worry about breakouts. I highly recommend Annette’s service’s” – S.W
