welcome to the facial mentor
'I founded The Facial Mentor to help enrich and empower facialists, skin specialists, solopreneurs and small business owners to create exceptionally bespoke ‘extraordinary’ facial treatments and skin journeys that keep clients returning time after time'

Enquire
Over the years, solopreneurs and small business owners have looked at my business model and its success, and asked to spend time with me and to share my expertise in how I use and layer technical equipment fused with ayruvedic inspiration creating beautiful, advanced facial treatments.
They want to discover how I achieve ‘magical’ results through thoughtful touches and a deep connection with clients. These requests have grown organically over time, which has inspired the creation of The Facial Mentor.

the story
In a world where personalised facial treatments are often promised but rarely delivered...
I created a unique journey for my clients who wanted result-driven facials instinctively blurring the lines of science, advanced equipment and skincare, infusing them with Ayurvedic-inspired touches, uplifting every facial to a beautiful moment.
This concept was born from 5 words scribbled on a piece of paper when I founded my business; ‘It’s never just a facial …’ those words are the heartbeat of everything about my business, transforming every treatment into a beautiful and extraordinary experience, from my signature Autograph Facials to more advanced skin treatments.
The difference
With advancements in result driven treatments, facial excellence no longer stops at the traditional holistic approach. As facial specialists, the science of the skin, equipment, products, and ingredients excites us! Yet, this excitement can lead to investments in technology that are underutilised or fall into disuse due to uncertainty about how to integrate them with other devices for safe, progressive results.
When you have the knowledge and confidence to blend science with holistic practices, that fusion can truly elevate a treatment

why it can help
Just like your treatments standing out, you, your business, your brand, equipment, visions and dreams are unique too. Operating as a solopreneur or small business can be isolating, consuming and confusing.
Gaining experience can take time and is often expensive. Bad investments can leave you feeling like something is missing or you don’t have the confidence to create your own signature treatments that you can charge more for. This is where I can help.

Just wow! Having spent years being in awe of lovely Andrea, today I got to spend the whole day with her and it has been incredible from start to finish. I have been wanting to change my business for some time, but I felt stuck and overwhelmed with all the options.
Andrea really listened and helped me see the potential of utilising everything I already have, showing me some incredible ways to make my treatments ‘extraordinary’, at very little or no cost. Her knowledge and passion combines results with wellness, creating some magical moments on the couch. I can't wait to start implementing everything I have learned, and give my clients an unforgettable experience, as she did for me today. I can't recommend her enough.

I can’t recommend The Facial Mentor enough! Andrea has transformed my beauty business in ways I never thought possible. Her guidance has been invaluable in supporting me to a more skin-focused approach, helping me turn my treatments into an experience for my clients. What sets Andrea apart is her ability in utilising what I already had, showing me how to elevate my services with minimal or no additional cost. Her creativity and deep understanding of the beauty industry have not only saved me money but fired up my passion for what I do. Thanks to Andrea, my business is better than ever, my clients are loving their results and I feel more confident than ever.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting a training session with Andrea, and it was a game-changer for our clinic. Andrea is renowned for delivering treatments that are truly "never just a facial" – an approach that elevates the client experience to new heights. Having her share her expertise and show us how to integrate these elements into our own treatments has been invaluable. Her passion for delivering exceptional care was clear, and the insights she provided will undoubtedly help us continue to provide the best possible experience for our clients. Highly recommended.

I feel so privileged to have helped Andrea on her journey as her very proud mentor, working with her over several years. Andrea has always been exceptional at all she does, but it has been such an exciting journey to watch her excel in taking the concept of ‘Never Just a Facial’ to a whole new level of excellence, making her the ‘Go To’ multi award winning expert facialist, charging her worth and becoming price irrelevant in her clients eyes plus living her dream of over 12 weeks time away from the business. Not only is Andrea one of the most wonderful and caring people that you are likely to ever meet, but her years of experience constantly radiate from her. It is so fabulous to now see Andrea inspiring established and aspiring skin facialist’s on their journey with her next career chapter of incorporating her Facial Mentor programme’s.
I can’t wait to see the results from Andrea sharing her passion even further.
