About Butterfly YouA salon built around having time for you.
Butterfly You began with one simple thought: if I ever had my own salon, I would do things differently.
Not faster. Not cheaper. Not with clients treated like the next name in the diary.
But with more care, more time and the kind of standard we'd expect if we were the person having the treatment.
That idea became Butterfly You.
Where it startedIt’s always been about you.
After qualifying in Beauty Therapy in 2008, I spent the next few years working in salons and spas.
I learned a huge amount from that experience, but I also became very clear about the kind of salon I wanted to create one day.
I had worked somewhere successful where everything was about keeping the diary moving: get the client in, complete the treatment, get the next one in.
I remember thinking, “If I owned a salon, I'd do it differently.”
I wanted clients to have time to settle in. To be greeted properly. To be listened to. To have a treatment delivered to a high standard without feeling rushed.
And I wanted the salon to feel like somewhere people genuinely looked forward to coming back to.
How Butterfly You grewFrom one small room to the salon we have today.
The business has changed a lot over the years. The reason behind it hasn't.
2012Butterfly You begins
I started the business working alone from a small room at the back of a barbering salon.
Growing the teamFrom one therapist to a team
As more clients found us, I began bringing in therapists who shared the same standards and way of looking after people.
2016A salon of our own
As the business grew, I took over the whole premises and converted it into Butterfly You.
TodayStill built around the client
New treatments, new skills and a bigger team — but the same belief that nobody should feel rushed or treated like a number.
What matters to usThe salon has grown. The principle hasn't.
We don't rush treatments.
Your appointment has been booked for you. We want you to have the time to settle, ask questions and actually enjoy it.
We listen before we recommend.
What you actually want matters more than what we happen to want to sell. If a simpler treatment suits you better, we'll say so.
We don't cut corners.
Products, preparation, training and technique all matter. We won't lower the standard simply to make a treatment quicker or cheaper.
We care about consistency.
Whether it's your first visit or your 200th, the standard of care should still feel familiar.
“The quality, consistency and environment never changes. I've felt valued for years and I still look forward to my treatment.”
— Caroline, Butterfly You clientWhat a visit feels likeWarmly welcomed. Properly looked after.
We want the experience to feel personal without feeling overdone.
That means greeting you warmly, taking an interest in you, remembering the things that matter, asking the right questions and giving your treatment the same attention we'd want if we were the client.
Some clients come for a one-off appointment. Others have been seeing us for years.
Both deserve the same care.
What we will never doSome things aren't negotiable.
We will never deliberately rush a treatment, skimp on quality, cut corners or make you feel like you're inconveniencing us by asking a question.
We're human, and no salon is perfect every single day. But the standard we're working towards is simple: how would we want to be treated if we were the person in the chair?
That question still guides how Butterfly You is run.

Her particular favourites include manicures, lash lifts and facials — treatments where small details can make a visible difference to how someone leaves the salon.

After qualifying in Beauty Therapy in 2008, Becki founded Butterfly You in 2012 and has continued to develop her skills across beauty, holistic treatments and semi-permanent eyebrows.
She has a particular eye for natural-looking results and is known for taking her time over the detail — especially when it comes to brows.

Charlotte
Manager · Beauty & Holistic Therapist
Charlotte has more than 15 years' experience in the beauty industry, with a background spanning salons, spas and professional skincare.
After moving into a retail coordinator role for a world-leading skincare brand, she realised how much she missed the hands-on side of salon life.
She has now been part of Butterfly You for many years and brings experience, professionalism and a calm confidence to both her treatments and her management role.
Why clients stayThe treatment might be what brings you in. The relationship is what keeps you coming back.
We know there are plenty of places you could go for a manicure, massage, facial or brow treatment.
What we hope makes Butterfly You different is the combination of quality, consistency, environment and genuine care.
Clients often tell us the salon feels welcoming and tranquil, that they feel listened to, and that appointments feel more like seeing someone they trust than simply buying a service.
That's the part of Butterfly You that doesn't appear on a treatment menu — but it's probably the part we're most proud of.
“I always look forward to my nail appointment... it's like seeing a good friend.”
— Lucy, Butterfly You clientIn our clients' words“It took me a while to find a decent salon... then I found Becki and her lovely team.”
— Amy, Butterfly You client“Everyone was very welcoming and friendly... I felt so incredibly relaxed afterwards.”
— stacey, Butterfly You clientWe're glad you're here.
However you found usYou might be looking for a therapist you can trust, a treatment you've never tried before, or simply somewhere you'll feel comfortable coming back to.
Have a look around, find what suits you, and when you're ready we'll look after the rest.
