Why that Product or Treatment?
Pinks Boutique Products
Pinks Boutiques from me as a therapist was just the perfect fit for my small home based salon... Being made & Grown/ farmed all in the UK was a big hit for me to help support a local Uk business. I've loved learning about sustainability and how this not only effect my business but also the personal impact it has on my self and my family. I'm a huge advocate that I can't sell or promote a product that's I personally don't believe in - I started personally testing various facial ranges back in 2023 -2024 and after much testing, My skin & scenes fell for Pinks Boutique. This is when I purchased the range and did my in-depth training. I have huge respect and love for the founders Kirstie Sherriff her love, knowledge & passion for her company & Products are just breath taking and a true inspiration.... I've enjoyed expanding my knowledge on all things UK Organic, and watched hours of podcasts and videos helping me to become a better therapist using the best, most purest natural products I can source and that actually work..!
