✨ 18 Years in Business Today
– March 1st ✨
18 years ago to today, I took a deep breath and opened my very first salon.
I was proud, excited… and absolutely terrified.
I’ve been in this industry since 1996. Being an employed Beauty Therapist was all I had ever known, all I’d ever loved. But in 2008, I decided to take the plunge and open Beautique Beauty Salon — my first baby in business.
Within 6 months I had employed staff and the salon grew faster than I could have imagined. In 2014 we moved into larger premises because we had simply outgrown our space. It was busy, successful, full of life… and I gave it everything.
Then in 2019, just before the world changed with Covid, I made one of the hardest decisions of my career.
I chose my family.
I closed the larger salon, downsized, and rebranded to Sarah Lynne Aesthetics, focusing on Aesthetics, Skin and Education, my passion. I wanted an easier life, a work-life balance. A life that worked around my children. A life that felt aligned.
In January 2023 I welcomed my third son into the world. Two months later, a prime high street location became available. For the fourth time, I took another leap of faith.
We renovated everything — from floors to ceilings — and in September 2023, we opened the doors to what is now my dream clinic.
And now… I finally feel like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
Not the biggest clinic,
But the most bustiest yet balanced.
The most peaceful.
The most me.
A beautiful clinic.
A business built around my family.
Stability.
Growth.
Gratitude.
18 years self-employed.
Nearly 30 years in the industry.
Every move, every risk, every scary decision brought me here.
To every client who has supported me through every chapter — thank you. You’ve allowed me to build not just a business, but a life I’m proud of 🤍
Here’s to the next chapter ✨
