FASHION+BEAUTY La Touche Beauty A salon of excellence Hot on the heels of being awarded the prestigious Guinot ‘Salon of Excellence’ award for the UK and Ireland, La Touche Beauty is now open six days a week, with three late-night openings until 7.30pm to offer advanced skin care and award-winning treatments to Lindfield and beyond. La Touche Beauty has experienced phenomenal success since moving to Lindfield High Street in 2013, and the success of the salon lies within its unique approach to beauty treatments, which not only ensures customers come away with healthier, clearer and more beautiful skin, but also with the knowledge of how to maintain their newly glowing skin through their daily routine. La Touche owner, Touchell Thaddeus, believes strongly that the role of the salon is to educate as well as to pamper. Touchell has an exceptional track record. In Melbourne, Australia, she trained at the outstanding Elly Lukas Beauty Therapy School, and was awarded the prestigious DUX Award. She went on to work at an award-winning aromatherapy centre, a dead sea spa, and as a dermal therapist alongside one of Australia’s top plastic surgeons. “My career journey started working as a therapist on the other side of the world in 2008,” says Touchell. “I then returned to the UK and traded from one treatment room by myself where La Touche Beauty was born, right here in Lindfield, in the heart of Sussex. Working in such a way, thankfully Guinot took an interest having seen my drive, enthusiasm and belief in their skincare brand, plus my willingness to expand.” After long hours and much hard work during their initial 24 months of trading, La Touche Beauty became Guinot’s 2016 ‘Salon of Excellence’, proudly chosen from 1,500 salons within the UK and Ireland. The salon team is ever-growing and now proudly operates with a team of nine dedicated and committed members. “I am continually grateful to be able to realise my ambition of bringing world-class beauty therapy to my hometown of Lindfield,” adds Touchell. “Our aim is to offer in-depth skin analysis and personalised treatments for men and women - clients are amazed by the La Touche treatments and regularly post to our social media pages praising the ‘age-defying’ results and value for money; our treatments are always delivered with outstanding customer service and attention to detail, and it is our passion and a pleasure to be part of village life.” While there has been the odd struggle and challenge along her business journey to date, Touchell and her team pride themselves on their attention to the finer details, compassionate nature, and genuine interest in making the clients feel like they are their one and only. The La Touche Beauty team are known for their working ethos focusing on customer service, results-driven treatments and tailor-made plans, which are at the very heart of the business. Situated in such a picturesque location, it is a 68 winning recipe and the welcoming atmosphere is felt the minute you step into the salon. If you would like to feel relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated, there is an array of luxury treatments available, so pop in and ask for a complimentary consultation. The salon offers an extensive range of innovative Guinot products and effective, modern treatments including the world-renowned Hydradermie2. Additional treatments now include the new Guinot Hydraderm Cellulaire facial, which bridges the gap between beauty therapy and aesthetic medicine, and the salon also proudly specialises in Iredale makeup, Jessica nail care, electrolysis, various type of massage, plus midwife and paediatrician-approved pregnancy treatments. The team look forward to welcoming you. La Touche Beauty 39 High St Lindfield Haywards Heath RH16 2HJ 01444 484600 www.latouche-beauty.com @latouchebeauty /latouchebeauty
