Flawless Tan, Glowing Skin and Perfect Nails! Delighted with the treatments I received from Joanna. My tan came out flawless, particularly around the hands and feet where I might usually have issue. Came out of my facial glowing; Joanna has amazing facial massage technique that got rid of all my puffiness and tired eyes. I was highly impressed by her product knowledge of Dermalogica she truly brewed me the perfect custom facial, mixing and matching for the best results. Rounded off my treatments with The Gel Bottle Manicure, where extra attention was paid to ensure that I got the ultra sparkly look I wanted. 5-Star experience - I will always book in with Joanna!

Calhey
Reception/Management
What is the best part about working at Yuu Beauty?
The best part about my job is seeing everyone walking out of the salon with a smile on their face. I love seeing the transformations whether it being skin, nails or laser hair removal. I love working at Yuu Beauty.
Do you have a favourite product?
I could not live without Dermaquest Essential B5 serum, this is the superhero of skincare, a small but mighty product - really hydrating, it’s like a big drink of water for the skin, my skin is in the best condition since starting to use this and I will never give it up.
What is your best skincare tip?
Never go to bed with your make-up on. Doesn’t matter how tired you are in the evening, always take it off. Your skin will thank you for this.

This has to be the hardest question ever asked!! My 3 children - would have to leave my husband behind!
