Meet the team

We are a friendly, highly qualified team of therapists dedicated to creating a professional and relaxing experience for every client.

Sherry

Sherry gained her HND in Beauty Therapy in 1997 at Moray College, Scotland. She began offering pamper parties and homemade aromatherapy skincare products from her home, before gaining broad experience and knowledge in a variety of salons and spas. Sherry took over The Retreat in 2004, and since has been key to its success. She qualified as a trainer in July 2017, and then became the Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall Ambassador and Educator for Epiloderm UK in April 2018. In May 2018 she also became a Brand Trainer for Beautiful Brows and Lashes. You can feel assured you are in safe hands with her wealth of experience!
Sherry loves her job, and especially enjoys meeting all of the people who visit The Retreat. Some of them she has known for nearly fifteen years!
Her true passion is quality skincare and advanced facials. She believes there is nothing better than helping a client to achieve the skin they have always wanted.
Outside of work Sherry loves photography, catching up with her son in the USA and the odd gin and tonic! 

Vickie

Becky is a fully qualified Level 3 Beauty Therapist with 14 years of experience. She is professional and passionate about what she does, and offers a very high standard of treatments.

She has worked in various spas and salons, as well as spending two years as a Steiner Beauty Therapist aboard cruise liners travelling to the Eastern and Western Caribbean.

Becky is friendly and bubbly, who loves spending time with her friends, family and two beautiful children. She has also started attending ballet classes again after an 18 year break!

Holly

Lora is self employed within The Retreat Health and Beauty Salon, working for her own business Beau Monde. She qualified in 2012 and started her career with a few part time jobs in the beauty industry, but didn't feel fulfilled until she arrived at The Retreat in 2015.
She likes to do extra courses to keep her skills up to date, and has gained a lot of experience and new skills since joining the team.
Lora loves her job, but is especially passionate about transforming brows with threading, and being creative with nail art designs. Lora is sociable and loves meeting new people, getting to know her clients and helping them to feel better about themselves.
Outside of work, Lora is still obsessed with all things beauty, whether that is following bloggers or receiving treatments. She also loves fashion, shopping and fun family days out. 

Daria

Holly has a Master's degree in Graphic Illustration and Fashion Merchandise Management. She is trained in all areas of facial semi-permanent makeup, as well as multiple other aesthetic treatments. She has worked for herself since she was 17 and now owns Oasa Rosa Aesthetics, which specialises in semi-permanent makeup. Her true passion lies in creating the perfect eyebrow!
Originally from up north, she is now based in Devon and works across South West England.
Outside of work, she loves spending time at home with her family, miniature sausage dog and her patterdale terrier. 

Our Story

The beginning...

New products!

Sherry introduced Environ, Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup and the Advanced Nutrition Programme to The Retreat. They are all still some of our most popular products today!

2010

New nails!

Shellac has transformed the nail industry. In 2010 Sherry introduced this gel polish to The Retreat's treatment menu and ever since our client's have loved it!

2012

A big move!

Eight years after Sherry took over The Retreat, she decided to move to 6 Bond Street. Clients loved the central location and it gave the salon a huge opportunity to grow.

Our lovely Vickie joined The Retreat in July 2016, and since has been very popular with our clients because of her bubbly nature and remarkable talent!

2017

Holly...

The creative Holly began working with The Retreat in 2017, offering our clients specialist semi-permanent makeup with spectacular and effective results!

March 2018

A little luxury...

After six years at 6 Bond Street, Sherry decided her clients deserved a little bit of luxury. Moving to 72 Hendford in March 2018 meant that The Retreat could expand their services and introduce training, all within a beautiful Grade II listed Regency style building.

April 2018

All about Epiloderm...

Sherry became the Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall Ambassador and Educator for Epiloderm UK. Designed by a French Beauty Therapist who saw a gap in the hair removal market, the wax is 100% natural, peelable and moisturising. It is the waxing treatment that takes skincare seriously!
