Welcome to Essential Beauty, I am Louise Wilkinson, owner, therapist and educator at Essential Beauty.

Essential Beauty is based in Shipley, close to Bradford, Bingley, Baildon and Keighley, but also accessible from Leeds, Halifax and surrounding areas in West Yorkshire.

This is a full service salon caring for all clients many beauty needs, as well as being a training centre for other therapists who want to better their skills or join the beauty industry. Courses offered include Tantrick spray tanning, beBeau waxing and Flirties semi permanent eyelash extensions.

I have been in the beauty industry for many years now; I hold the title of Nail Technician of the Year 2008 with The Guild of Nail Technicians.

I have entered many competitions and proudly won in some; I have also worked backstage at London Fashion Week on Natascha Stolles' S/S 09 collection.

I teach in many areas of the industry also, so please feel confident when having any treatment with me.

At Essential Beauty, I offer a wide range of beauty, nail and tanning treatments.

I understand the recession is having an effect on all our lives and due to this there will be no price rises in 2009.

Please note a full consultation will be carried out with every treatment.

Parents or guardians consent is required for all treatments where the client is under 16 years of age.

Apologies but I do not accept payment by card. Cash payments only please.
