Any advice to new businesses in this area? The most impor tant advice I can give is to become part of the community. We have already had an amazing response to our business and a lot of our clients have become friends. We have an open door policy; we are not just open for treatments but if clients feel they just need someone to talk to, or have a cup of coffee, we are always happy to see new and returning faces here at Hidden Jem.

Anything else you’d like our readers to know? We would like to say a huge thank you for all the clients that have supported us already. We have some exciting new treatments coming including the award winning Skin Base Microdermabrasion facial.
