Team

Katie

Katie is the owner of Distinction Health and Beauty. Katie has worked in the Beauty industry for twelve years and came straight to work for Distinction from college. Having built up experience and a wealth of knowledge Katie decided to follow her dreams and buy the salon she loved working in. She had already built up an excellent reputation and an ever-increasing client base, so it seemed the right direction to move in. Katie is passionate about recreating the same spa environment she was used to but continuously adding new and more advanced treatments to the treatment list. The success of the salon has well exceeded Katie’s expectations with many clients booking appointments months in advance and travelling from all over Scotland and England to be treated by her. In her first year in business she won the Independent Business of the Year Award in the local community and is striving for more awards and recognition for her salon and dedicated and hardworking staff.

Lorraine

Lorraine is joint assistant manager of the salon with April and is the longest serving member of the Distinction having joined in 2003. As I am sure you can imagine, her experience makes her popular amongst our client and she has built great friendships with them over the last twenty years. She loves giving massage and advanced facials but her favourite treatment is advanced electrolysis. She is the only therapist in the salon who can perform this advanced treatment and the results she gets are amazing. If it is advanced treatments and a great chat you are looking for then Lorraine is your girl.

April

April is Distinctions assistant manager with Lorraine. She enjoys nails and brow lamination but her passion lies with skincare. After having acne for 10 years she went on her own skin journey and decided she wanted to help advise others. She excels in all skin knowledge to help treat and educate her clients about skin types and conditions. She absolutely loves doing facials and if you book in with her you'll see how amazing she is at them. It is safe to say you are in good hands and April will have you relaxed in no time. Her hardworking and bubbly nature means the salon would not be complete without her. April works full time and is very popular so make sure to book in advance to guarantee your appointment.

Demi

After working in another salon, Demi decided she wanted to be in a salon that offers a wider variety of treatments. Her favourite treatment is lash lifts and the results she produces are amazing. Demi is also fantastic at massage - if you have a sore back or neck problems be sure to book in with her. You won’t be left disappointed. Since Demi joined the team, she has fitted in with the girls like she has been here forever. She has a lovely caring nature and is very easy to talk to.

Taylor Jade

TJ as we know her, is the ray of sunshine we didn't know we needed at Distinction. Every time she walks through the door, she lightens the mood of everyone around her. She loves when her day is varied and enjoys doing training to continuously develop her skills. Her favourite treatment of all time is the Hydr02 facial as she loves to gets results for every client with it. Really she is happy for any facials. Nails and eyebrows are a close second. So if its a skin brighten up or a perfect eyebrow shape you are after TJ is the therapist for you. She works full time including evening and every second Saturday.

Jade

Jade works part time. She has moved from a spa where she worked for the past 8 years but decided it was time for a change of scenery. Jade was hired on the spot. After a fantastic massage and facial in her trade test, I knew she was the extra addition Distinction needed. Jade is a holistic therapist, meaning she is an expert in facials, massages, reflexology and head massage. In addition, she does eyebrow threading and will be the only threader in the salon.

Caroline

Being the only sports massage therapist makes Caroline unique within the salon. She loves helping clients with specific injuries and supporting them in reaching their goals. Caroline thoroughly enjoys opportunities to bring different modalities into treatments including medical acupuncture, function cupping, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and kinesiology taping. She also enjoys being able to tailor treatments to help clients with conditions such as TMJ and fibromyalgia. Caroline's unique skills make her a great asset to the team, and as someone who books new training each month you will be guaranteed she will have something to help you.

Ava

A little bit about Ava- I have previously been working in a salon in the West End of Glasgow for the past year while completing my HND in beauty therapy. My favourite treatment to do is a manicure with nail art as I love to be creative and experiment with different colours and designs. I also enjoy doing waxing and brows as I love the instant results. 

Amina

A little bit about Amina- I have previously worked and trained in a 5 star luxury spa. I love offering luxury bespoke massage and facial treatments giving clients a 5 start experience every time. My favourite treatment would be anything skin care as I am really passionate about skin health and delivering result driven facial treatments to my clients. I really enjoy waxing and brow treatments, helping clients to look and feel their best!
