Jenni Grace – Proprietor Grace medi-spa
Jenni Grace comes from an F.E. background. She was instrumental in setting up a new beauty department at Fareham College in 1985 and worked there until 1993. Jenni helped to pilot the NVQ initiatives and introduced some of the first holistic training programmes, such as Reflexology.
Jenni Left to concentrate her efforts on her own private training centre – The Grace School, where she felt she could concentrate her skills on offering bespoke training for individuals. The course programmes were many and varied and covered all the beauty areas, holistic, health and sports. In particular Jenni was passionate about advanced beauty and quickly initiated training for red vein and skin tag, sclerotherapy and micro-pigmentation.
Along side the training Jenni ran two commercial businesses – both very busy and successful health and beauty clinics.
In the mid 90’s Jenni decided to take a break from the training and just isolate her efforts on taking one of her businesses to a slightly new level – that of a medi-spa. Working from a very characterful 15th century farmhouse in the country the medi-spa offers a huge variety of services, from hairdressing, full range of beauty, health and holistic therapies through to the medical services: nurse administered injections for ageing, skin peels, leg vein removal, IPL for hair removal and skin rejuvenation etc.
Jenni is delighted to welcome Samantha Pugh to the team at Grace medi-spa and in particular that Samantha will be offering training. Jenni will be pleased to offer her experience and skills with the provision of the advanced beauty side, such as red vein and skin tag.
