WARMINSTER businesswoman Mandy Thomas has just opened her new venture, where she plans to offer hair care, beauty therapy, help with weight loss and holistic treatments all under one roof.

Slim Trim 'n' Beautiful is on George Street, Warminster, after Mandy decided to take the plunge and strike out on her own, having rented a chair at a local hair salon for some time. She plans to run the business by appointments, to give a more personal level of hairdressing without clients having to wait for hours.

She also offers advice on the Cambridge Weight Plan, where the focus is on 1:1 support, with clients weighing weekly and being given 100 per cent support, advice and encouragement throughout their Weightloss journey.

Also working at the new venture is Katrina Williams, of Pampered Perfect, who is moving her own business there to join Slim Trim 'n' Beautiful, offering a wide range of holistic and beauty therapy treatments.

Mandy says: "All three are highly successful businesses with a large client base.

"I have worked in the hairdressing industry for over 28 years. I moved to Hong Kong where I opened a barbers in 1989 and after returning to the UK I worked in salons as well as being mobile until I became manager of the Barber Shop Trio in Warminster.

"This led me to become a lecturer in hairdressing and going on to complete my teacher training and Certificate in Education qualifications. I left the salon in 2009 to become a full time tutor.

"I worked in further education for five years, progressing to a Programme Leader for Hairdressing which also entailed assessing and quality assuring hairdressing qualifications.

"In 2013 I left education and retuned to hairdressing. I am very passionate about the industry I work in and believe that everything should be delivered to a certain standard.

"I enjoy all aspects of hairdressing and love being creative in order to change or maintain a person's image.

"I've also been a Cambridge consultant for over two years, with lots of success stories.

"I'm passionate about Cambridge Weight Plan as it gives fantastic results when followed correctly and is life-changing for many people.

"After losing six-and-a-half stone I love to encourage, inspire and motivate other people to do the same. I love my job."

Mandy is holding an Open Day at Slim Trim 'n' Beautiful tomorrow (Saturday) from 10am-2pm, when clients old and new are invited to drop in, have a coffee and chat and see what Mandy and Katrina can offer them, with no pressure and no obligation to book.
