Andrea’s decision to start her own business was deeply personal. “The idea of Elitique grew from my passion for empowering women,” she shared. “I wanted to create a space where women could feel celebrated and supported in their journey toward self-love and transformation.” Seeing how societal expectations often erode women’s self-esteem, Andrea set out to build a sanctuary where clients could not only reshape their bodies but also renew their spirits. For her, it’s about more than aesthetics. “It’s about seeing my clients gain the confidence to pursue their dreams and lead happier lives.”

New to Industry

Before embarking on this entrepreneurial journey, Andrea’s career path was worlds apart. She worked as a Safety Advisor, specialising in health, food, and fire safety inspections. While this role honed her attention to detail and organisational skills, it was the desire to create meaningful connections and impact lives that led her to pivot into the beauty industry.

The Right Tools for Transformation

Starting from scratch, Andrea faced the daunting task of finding the right equipment for her studio. “Quality, support, and training were my top priorities,” she shared. “That’s why I chose Sculpt Pro. Their exceptional equipment and ongoing support made the decision effortless.”

With a focus on body sculpting and contouring, Andrea selected the Cryo Quattro and Liposhape Pro to launch Elitique Clinic. The powerful combination of cryolipolysis, radio frequency, and ultrasound cavitation technologies has enabled her to deliver outstanding results and achieve high client satisfaction.

The Beauty & Skincare Awards 2024

Winning the Best Body Contouring award and securing second place for Home Salon of the Year were monumental achievements for Andrea. “I’m overwhelmed with gratitude,” she expressed. “This recognition validates all the love and hard work I’ve poured into this journey. It’s not just about me; it reflects the trust and support of my clients and community.” The Beauty and Skincare Awards panel commended Andrea’s dedication: “Her unwavering commitment to personalised care, evident in her impressive portfolio of transformations, sets a high standard in client satisfaction. Andrea’s passion and meticulous approach make her a worthy winner.”     Overcoming Challenges and Building Community Marketing presented another steep learning curve. “I didn’t even have a personal Instagram account when I started!” she laughed. From creating her website to running Facebook ads, Andrea embraced trial and error, gradually mastering the art of digital marketing. However, the biggest hurdle was establishing her studio in a new town. Having moved to Deal just three years prior, she had no initial client base. Yet, her determination and consistent efforts have seen her studio flourish.   Looking Ahead: Growth and Innovation As for the future, Andrea is excited about continuous growth. “I’m always seeking to improve, staying ahead of industry trends and exploring new partnerships,” she shared. Her vision includes expanding her services, introducing innovative treatments, and fostering deeper connections within the community.   Andrea’s journey is a testament to the power of passion, persistence, and purpose. From her cosy studio in Kent, she is transforming lives, one treatment at a time, proving that dreams—when paired with dedication—can truly come to life.
