Our story
More than twenty years of expertise, with care at its heart.
For 14 years, Zoe’s Retreat has grown alongside its clients—from a much-loved beauty salon into a complete destination for beauty, aesthetics and restorative time.
Welcome to Zoe’s Retreat
Created with care.
Grown with purpose.
Zoe’s Retreat began with a simple belief: a beauty appointment can be so much more than a treatment. It can be the hour that resets your week, the confidence before an important moment or the space where you finally slow down.
Zoe brings more than twenty years of industry experience to the salon she has spent fourteen years shaping. Her approach remains warm, honest and personal: every client is welcomed as an individual, every recommendation is made with care and every detail is considered.
Today, that philosophy brings beauty, advanced skin, aesthetics and restorative experiences together under one roof—each with its own expertise, and all with the same thoughtful approach.
More than a beauty salon
The feeling behind the name
A retreat with character, warmth and a life of its own.
Zoe’s Retreat has a personality all its own: feminine without feeling predictable, luxurious without becoming intimidating and polished without losing the warmth our clients know and love.
Whether you visit for beautifully finished nails, a skin consultation, an aesthetics treatment or uninterrupted time to unwind, your experience should feel considered from the moment you arrive.

Experienced treatment and professional standards, delivered by people who are approachable, friendly and reassuring.

Meet Zoe · Founder of Zoe’s Retreat
The person behind the retreat.
Zoe founded Zoe’s Retreat fourteen years ago with a simple vision: to create a place where clients feel genuinely looked after, listened to and confident in the treatments they receive.
As a mum herself, Zoe understands how busy life can be and how valuable it is to have somewhere to switch off, take time for yourself and feel cared for. She continues to oversee the development of the retreat, with a focus on creating a welcoming, professional and luxurious experience for every client.
Training & professional development
- Level 3 qualification in Beauty Therapy
- City & Guilds Level 3 QCF Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement
- City & Guilds Level 4 unit in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector

“I wanted to create somewhere that feels different—somewhere clients can come for their treatments, but also feel looked after, relaxed and confident in the people caring for them.”
Zoe’s approach
For Zoe, great treatments are about more than the treatment itself. It is about listening to each client, understanding what they want to achieve and ensuring they feel informed, comfortable and cared for throughout their experience.
