TRACEY

sKIN Therapist & Makeup artist

Tracey has been in the beauty industry for over 20 years now…. “a lot has changed since I first begun, I started when my eldest girl was 2 years old. I wanted give my daughter a role model to show her you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up! As this is what I wanted to do all my life, to make people happy and feel good about themselves. Two more daughters later, has given me heaps of reasons to keep up with this revolving industry, and to show them naturally how beautiful they are. I am very lucky to also share this with my friends and clients in the salon. It makes me so happy when I see the smile on their faces and I know I have done my job to the best of my ability. I get paid to do what I love! I am looking forward to seeing all my friends, old and new clients in the salon. You will always get 100% on matter what treatment you are having. If I can not help you I will talk to the other team members and make sure you are looked after, as this is my promise to you”

GEORGIE

SKIN therapist

Georgie has been a qualified beauty therapist for 5 years and has loved every moment of it. She loves making people feel relaxed and helping clients reach their skin goals.

She has a passion for explaining her client’s what is happening with their skin and finding ways to help and improve their skin, so they are their most comfortable self in their own skin. I’ve always loved waxing but since starting at Balance Beauty and Massage it’s opened my eyes to the power of my hands and how it can make my clients feel. So, from this body treatments are now definitely my favourits.

My favorite treatment at Balance Beauty and Massage is the rejuvenate package which is 1 hour and 45 mins of pampering. This package involves warm coconut milk drizzled over the body then a sprinkling of crushed sugar rubbed in till the sugar melts to a honey consistency. This is then removed with hot towels and we then moisturize the whole body with coconut butter. This deeply nourishes and repairs the skin. This amazing treatment if finished off with a hydrating facial. It’s a head to toe pampering, how could you not love it!
