Hi.
My name is Jeanette Burton owner and head therapist at Little Luxuries based in the village of Barton under Needwood. I have been in the hair and beauty business for 30 years in a variety of roles.
On leaving school in 1984 I trained as a hairdresser and for a number of years was operating mobile around the Ashby and Coalville area, after a few years I decided that I wanted to diversify into more skin care and became an Avon representative.
In 1993 I got married and moved into the Burton on Trent area and decided that I wanted something more permanent with a local base to work from and became a Clinique counter manager at Heaven Scent in Burton on Trent, where I worked until my first child was born in 1996.
Whilst on maternity leave I re-evaluated what I wanted to do and enrolled at Burton College to work towards my NVQ level 3 in Aromatherapy Massage and Body Therapy Massage allowing me to work mobile to fit around child care needs later working part time at Revive Tone & Beauty a toning and beauty salon in Newhall. In 2005 I took over ownership of Revive Tone and Beauty and spent a number of years further studying for qualifications in waxing, manicure and pedicure, Cal gel Nails, CACI non surgical face and body treatments, universal body wraps, St Tropez self tanning, spray tanning, all of which allowed me to expand the range of treatments that I could offer to clients.
In 2008 I took on a brand new empty unit at the Barton Turns Marina complex and fitted it out as a beauty salon with shop selling skin bath and body care products and Little Luxuries was born. I have traded as Little Luxuries ever since and have now moved to a smaller salon in a prime location in the centre of the village where I can continue to offer my clients those special treatments or as I like to call them “Your own special little luxury.”
