My name is Alison, I qualified as a beauty therapist in 2009 working at spas and salons around Dorset. I have worked at The Beauty Centre since February 2020, in that time I had the privilege to become a part of the most amazing team.

In 2025 Katie and myself had been given the amazing opportunity to buy the salon from Rachel with the dream of keeping the salon friendly and fun with also putting our own touches on the salon.

I am passionate about many beauty treatment such as facials, including microneedling, peels and Microdermabrasion making the clients feel pampered.

I also like waxing and eyelash extensions as it gives am immediate result and I can also have a good catch up with my clients.
