You might remember a blog post I did a
little while ago on my facial experience with Antonia Burrell. Check out the post here
Well todays the woman behind the business is
the one and only Antonia Burrell. Facialist to the stars, the lady with the
magic hands and someone who inspires me with her drive and determination to
succeed.
I met Antonia for lunch and asked her
some questions about her business, beauty tips and favourite things.

1) How
did you get into the business of beauty?
I started at the age of 19 and as a career
it’s all I have ever done. I used to work as a therapist at the Sanctuary spa
earning £28 a day! I was then promoted to a senior therapist and I realised I
really needed to supplement my income so I also started selling the retail
products. I got to know the products inside and out and was promoted to head of
retail.
I was then headhunted and went to work with
Aveda for 6 years where I won a number of awards for being the best in sales. Following
that I decided to launch my own business. I opened up 3 salons and also started
teaching aromatherapy at the London College of Arts.
