Her creative edge saw her follow her passion into a career and after achieving her qualifications at Ansdell College in St Anne’s, she took up work at Brooklands Health Spa where she continued to learn and explore different techniques.

After moving to a salon in Grimsargh and with more than 10 years salon experience – Jenny decided the time was right to go out on her own after fulfilling another ambition to become a mum.

Lovingly reshaping her home in Ashton to make way for an in-house salon, Jenny was able to combine her love for her work with her parenting duties.

But inspired to fulfil another lifetime dream, mum-of-two Jenny is now on a mission to help other people find themselves a ‘little me time’ and has just opened her first salon Butterfly Beauty in Longridge.

It is another exciting new chapter in Jenny’s chosen career and one she is relishing. She says this is reflected in the salon’s name.

“The reason I chose the name Butterfly Beauty is because it represents new beginnings, to live in the present and to take each day as it comes.

“I had a really successful year working from home but it had been my dream to have my own salon so I decided to take the plunge and open one.”

Having previously worked 10 years in a salon in Grimsargh, she decided to open closer to her clientele base in the market town and near to the surrounding villages.

The salon sits in Calder Avenue, in the town centre.

Jenny adds: “Butterfly Beauty was born from a desire to provide unsurpassed customer care and high quality treatments.
