The Skin & Beauty Clinic

About Us

Meet the team!

We opened the ‘The Skin & Beauty Clinic’ in January 2018 by combining Monica’s ‘Skinpathy‘ business and ‘Nicola’s Beauty‘ business under one roof. As a salon team we provide a comprehensive range of Beauty and Skin Treatments, and we each bring our specific skills and expertise. We also hold specialist clinics in Aesthetics and have recently expanded our salon to the upstairs floor where we have space for 2 more treatment rooms, a custom made pedi-couch and and professional make-up station.

Here’s a little info on each of the team…

Nicola has been a beauty therapist for more than 30 years and has trained with the internationally accredited CIBTAC and BABTAC programs, and used to be a beauty therapy trainer. She has completed the ‘Master Level’ Dermalogica training and regularly updates her skills and knowledge. Nicola is a qualified make up artist and has experience in professional bridal and event make up. She loves giving make up lessons and most recently has been working with the British ‘skincare-make up’ brand Delilah. She only chooses the best products for her clients and is a real perfectionist about her work. Nicola is passionate about all aspects of beauty therapy and has been working with beauty apprentices for a number of years and liases with New College Durham. In 2019 Nicola completed the advanced microblading training and is passionate about helping clients achieve their ‘best brows.’

Monica has BSc(Hons) degrees in Biology and in Health Sciences and has worked in the pharmaceutical industry and natural therapy sector. She qualified in Level 3 Electrolysis and Facial Electrics in 2011 and then went on to complete the Level 4 degree module in Laser and Pulsed Light Technologies (2012), Level 4 Advanced Electrolysis Treatments (2016), and Level 5 ‘Laser Safety Officer’ (2019). Since February 2018 she has been accredited with MASCED UK for the early detection and prevention of skin cancer and melanoma and updates her training annually. Monica has developed her own range of natural skincare called ‘De Bella‘ which is named after her family’s heritage from Italy and is currently developing ‘salon brand’ products.

Georgia started training and working with Nicola since she left school in 2016. Georgia is fully qualified to Level 3 and is a true lash extension specialist. She has recently undergone the advanced training to deliver the latest and most up to date techniques. Her mastery allows her to custom choose which types of lash extension and styles will best suit her client’s wishes and needs for a natural but stunning look. Georgia has also trained extensively with Dermalogica, and has been training in laser treatments with Monica. She loves nail art and is extremely passionate and meticulous about her work.

    "I cannot praise Monica highly enough. She understood my skin concerns and has worked through them in a gentle and professional manner. Monica puts the needs of the customer first, ensuring that the treatment is the right one for the person concerned, rather than being motivated by money like some practitioners I have seen in the past. Whilst my skin is still healing, I can already see great improvements and am looking forward to the final result. After trying numerous products and treatments in the past, without success, I wish I\'d visited the Skin and Beauty Clinic sooner. I would not hesitate to recommend!" 30/07/21

  • Rachel
    "After my first laser carbon peel think that my skin is definitely smoother and very soft and not sure whether my imagination or not but less fine wrinkles! Tonight it still feels really well hydrated. Thank you so so much....I feel like I have had a proper treat!" and "24 hrs later I think my skin was definitely looking nicer. The skin over the bridge of my nose was very dry ( it usually is ) but way smoother than normal so definitely made a difference!" 29/02/20
  • Charlotte S.

    "I had the most wonderful facial with Monica. The products she used smelt and felt fabulous, and at one point I think I fell asleep, it was the most relaxing hour ever! My skin honestly GLOWED for days afterwards. Thankyou!" 06/03/19

  • Sue W.

    "Very happy with my appointment with Monica for a skin tag removal. She explained everything thoroughly beforehand and did an excellent job of removing it. I’m very pleased with the results". 25/11/19

  • Kelly R.

    “Most certainly recommended Monica’s services. I've been getting laser treatment for the redness in my skin on my face from Monica. Amazing results and such a lovely lady doing it. Very thankful and happy with the treatment received!” 28/05/19

  • Marie

    “Monica was highly recommended to me by a former GP who had used her services. Since then I have had three separate treatments and I am so happy with the results. I found Monica to be extremely professiona, meticulous in her work and the results delivered exceeded my expectations. I would, without question, recommend Monica to others and have done so already”. 21/02/19

  • Pauline

    "I saw Monica, a lovely lady, for removal of brown spots, skin tags and moles from my face. Felt at ease and confident that she cared and not just trying to get more money. She charged accordingly, treatment wasn’t too painful with very good follow up and no scarring. I am very happy with the outcome and wish I’d had the courage to do it sooner. Wouldn’t hesitate to see her again if I need further treatment". - 29 Dec 2018

  • Kelly C

    “Monica was recommended for removal of small milia and she didn’t disappoint, very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Would definitely recommend and use again. Procedure was painless and there is no scarring at all. Great follow up too.” - 19 Dec 2018

  • Joan C

    After years of receiving a variety of treatments for the warts on my hands, most of which were both costly and painful, Monica has finally come to the rescue.  After the treatment that Monica has provided the warts are disappearing. Whilst not without some pain, the treatment has felt far less invasive and that it was administered in a caring and empathetic way.  I can’t thank Monica enough. After feeling resigned to putting up with them, the warts are mostly gone. If anyone is experiencing similar issues I would recommend Monica.  She provides an effective and more affordable treatment which is provided in a caring and reassuring way. Thank you Monica. - 29/01/18

  • Laura W

    My skin is perfect and results are great as always from all types of hair removal I have had.  You are fantastic at what you do I love coming to see you, you are so professional but a really lovely person and a friend to me. - 04/12/17
