I set up Silk in New Plymouth against a lot of professional advise. The beauty market was (and still is) a very over saturated one and opening yet another same/same small business was not recommended by anybody. 15 years on Silk is still going strong. Our therapists are experts in their field. We love skin, we love arming our clients with knowledge and care and we love supporting and being a part of our community.In 2019 Charlotte Talks came about. I have built an awesome team at Silk, I know my cheese when it comes to exceptional service and I know how to survive.
