I honestly can’t recommend Emer enough. After just three appointments she has completely changed the way I look at skincare. As someone in my early twenties, I had no idea where to start. She took the time to really understand my skin and put me on a personalised programme. She also taught me what my skin actually needs without ever making me feel pressured to buy products! She’s so genuine and down to earth. I could happily sit and chat with her for hours ☺️ Every facial is such a treat and her clinic is so relaxing. I always leave looking forward to my next appointment! I feel so lucky to have found Emer and I’m so happy to support her business. She already feels like a lifelong friend so I think she’s stuck with me now 🤍

I am so glad I found Emer,her salon is like a piece of heaven,and during my facial I truely felt transported away to another place Unfortunately I had been using the wrong skincare products for the last 2 years and despite regular facials with another salon my skin was not in good condition and was extremely dry and sensitive. The time,honesty,effort that Emer gives you during a consultation and facial is 5 star luxury, no gloves here unlike other salons,her touch is magical,so glad I switched back to Guinot, their products are amazing. Emer is a true professional and has a magnetic personality.There is a warmth in her care of clients and an honesty that is hard to find in this ever changing fast fixing beauty industry.

I had a facial done with Emer and I am so delighted I did! From the space (which is an added teat to take in when you aren’t expecting it) being the cutest, most zen area to wait for and then have your treatment to the actual facial everything was wonderful! If you are an animal lover, the wonderful customer canine Ruby will greet you and then leave you to enjoy your treatment! I felt so safe and confident in Emer’s hands, the time flew! Already booked in for my next facial, cannot wait. 💜

Thank you to Emer for another AMAZING facial today! I cannot recommend her highly enough. I started with Emer nearly 2 years ago when I developed adult onset acne. I wanted someone with specialist expertise and chose Emer due to her reputation, positive testimonials and that she used professional skin care products. And boy, did I choose well! As a result of her experience, my skin has dramatically improved as has my confidence. For me the Guinot facials have been a game changer as has Emer’s skin care prescriptions. I use the word prescription deliberately as she is using her specialist knowledge and extensive training to provide the very best care - something that I knew I could not achieve through self education alone. Not only does she prescribe but she has also educated me as to how to care for my skin. Thank you Emer for not just the visible results, but for also making me feel confident again with my appearance and for becoming a true friend.

Purchased from the online shop at emerald beauty and the service was seamless. My product arrived the following business day and Emer had even sent some samples for me to try of other lovely products. Would definitely recommend purchasing online from emerald beauty!

If you are looking for a one to one beauty and skin specialist, Emer at Emerald Beauty Clinic is the person for you. I have been going to Emer since 2018 and she has educated me so much about my skin type, products that are suited to it and the does and the don'ts of general skin care, she doesn't gatekeep anything! I haven't looked back and I'm so happy I found her. I have regular Guinot facials, not only do they leave your skin glowing but the experience is so relaxing as well. I get all my Guinot Skincare products from Emer and she recommends what products to use seasonally. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I went to Emer to try and feel like I had a clean fresh face again after wearing masks all day everyday for so long (I'm a nurse). The facial was the best I have ever had! My face felt amazing and it was so smooth I felt 10 years younger and i was getting complemented on my fresh glow for weeks after! The treatment was so calming and relaxing that I could just feel the stress melt away. On top of that I learned so much about my skin, what I should be using, how to spot creams that aren't suiting my skin and when and more importantly how to use them. I would and have highly recommend Emer to anyone. She has an amazing skill and expertise and is a gem of a find!

The service I received from Emer yesterday was second to none. The emerald beauty clinic is a professional setting filled with the highest quality range of products. I was met with juice and chocolates on arrival, I felt so special! Emer is so knowledgeable on everything and takes her time to tailor facials and products to give you the best possible outcome. Her products are high-end and prescribed to give you the best possible finish. I wasn’t sure of my skin concerns or products to use and emer managed to figure it all out for me over the span of an hour and a half deep treatment and investigation. She explained everything she used and why I need it. I got an hour of silence, mindfulness and complete serenity to which I even fell asleep. I had a facial, facial massage and hand treatment then she gave me a book on the treatment I received and what it does. I have been to many spas and have never received such care and kindness. She left the mask on my face for 25 mins making sure I got the most out of the product which is something I’ve never received in a spa. The 1-1 treatment is a must and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Emer and Ruby❤️ 💚
