Billie Thomas-Mckenzie  - Beauty and Spa Therapist


Billie is a graduate from Elite International School of Beauty and Spa Therapies where she attained her Premiere Diploma in Beauty and Spa Therapy. She also holds a CIBTAC diploma in Beauty and Body Therapy and an ITEC diploma in Beauty Therapy.

“My passion for beauty therapy is largely results driven. I believe everyone is different and everyone has different concerns and needs, so I like to attend to clients individually and build my treatment around what will work best for them. I am big on a healthy mind and wellbeing; therefore I love massage and find the benefits great for stress relief, aches and pains, relaxation and purely to make sure the client leaves feeling as though they are walking on clouds. My specialty is high quality waxing as I am a perfectionist and love seeing results from a good wax.

It’s great to be part of the hibiscus room team as it’s a fantastic work environment and everyone is so supportive and friendly.
