Beauty Secrets was the vision of Beryl Martin who at the age of 40 decided it was time for her to follow her lifelong dream to become an aesthetician, more commonly known as a beauty therapist.

She successfully completed the advanced International CIDESCO Qualification; an intensive 12 months course and in order to obtain her certificate worked in a salon in Farnham and gained first-hand experience of running a successful beauty business.

A spokesman for the firm said: “Having gained her qualification in 1985 she decided the time had come to start her own business. In an annex to her house in Loxwood, Beryl transformed a former bedroom and sitting room into her first salon space and Beauty Secrets was born. Working alone she built up her client base offering all the treatments her clients wanted, ensuring she always met and exceeded their expectations. Her philosophy was to never say ‘no’ to anyone and to ultimately offer all the treatments under one roof.”

Beryl passed away in 2019 but this mantra is still upheld in the family-run business today, the spokesman added.

Decleor was the first range that Beryl worked with and this association means Beauty Secrets is one of the longest standing Decleor salons in the country.

Having moved to East Street more than 20 years ago the salon also works with body treatment brand Elemis and skincare brand Guinot.

Beauty Secrets has won numerous awards, including the prestigious Crown salon status awarded only to the top 10 per cent of Guinot salons in the country.

The spokesman added: “Beryl’s inspiration and determination has seen Beauty Secrets grow to the impressive multi-award-winning salon group it is today combining the very best of aesthetics with hands-on; machine-led skincare and spa into bespoke treatment packages personally prescribed for individual clients. With three large high street salons in Horsham, Godalming and Hove offering the breadth of treatments not seen elsewhere, Beryl’s legacy continues to flourish under the watchful eye of her daughter Karen and amazing management team, most of whom have worked with us now for over 10 years!

“To celebrate this success, in a year of unprecedented change we are offering our clients the opportunity to come for a VIP treatment to design a bespoke treatment plan personalised for them. Taking the best of the skincare, aesthetics and technologies we work with we are able to design treatments that are results-driven and meet our clients’ needs.”
