Although Jess’s favourite skincare range is definitely Environ she enjoys all the skincare ranges available at Jamele, with something to suit everyone. Jess loves doing facials - all of them!

“It’s important to me to educate my clients to help them achieve their skin goals. Relaxation treatments are my favourite to give, especially facials and massage. I love it when clients leave a treatment totally relaxed and feeling great”
