Welcome...
My name is Suzanne and I run 'Koutoubia Beauty' (Koo-too-bia). The treatment room takes it's name from a spiritual building I visited whilst in Marrakech. I was amazed by it's beauty and inspired by the sense of calm and peace it created in the middle of a bustling city. The existence of this oasis of quiet contemplation in the midst of a rat race, I hope is reflected in the treatments I offer...
I am a fully qualified and insured beauty therapist. I have 15years experience in the beauty industry starting out as a hairdesigner. I love all aspects of fashion and beauty and like to keep abreast of current trends in treatments and products with ongoing training in all areas of my work...
I believe in an individuate approach to treatments as each client is different and have their own specific requirements. Whether that be a glamorous make-over for a special occasion, a fabulous pedicure ready for holidays, or a relaxing luxury facial and massage, I can design treatments to suit every need...
I only use high quality products that I truly believe in and that I have tried and tested myself, such as DERMALOGICA, OPI, FAKE BAKE, XTREME LASHES and MAC cosmetics, to achieve amazing results...

Dermalogica Skin Care
EHTOS...
Dermalogica is the skin care system researched and developed by The International Dermal Institute. Known worldwide as the "professionals' choice," Dermalogica is founded on the belief that good skin care is not about pampering or luxury...any more than brushing your teeth or washing your hair is!
Call us no-nonsense, but we believe that consumers want results, not frilly packaging or overblown hype. And we've found that consumers and leading skin care professionals alike in over 40 countries agree!
Dermalogica's story begins in 1986, when the founders of The International Dermal Institute (the postgraduate training facility for skin care professionals) decided to do something about the serious lack of results-driven products on the market.
Researched and developed by The International Dermal Institute, Dermalogica shocked the market by refusing to use artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, S.D. alcohol, lanolin or mineral oil – all of which were industry favorites due to their low cost, despite links to numerous skin problems that were well understood. They also went a step further, insisting that all Dermalogica skin care professionals had to meet the highest level of training and expertise, ensuring that consumers could get reliable consultations about their skin concerns without falling prey to the hype and faddism that dominates the skin care industry.
Dermalogica's commitment to professional skin care continues today with its no-nonsense packaging, emphasis on skin care education and dedication to formulating products that deliver results, not ridiculous claims.
Fake Bake Tanning

Self Tanning Technology
Arguably, one of the main topics of conversation with dermatologists and skin cancer specialists worldwide is the dangers of sunbathing and the use of sunbeds.
The media has long campaigned to raise awareness and the rise in popularity of sunless tanners means they are winning that hard earned fight..
Sun worshipers today would rather fake than fry!
In addition to excellent quality products, we realise that this is also an age when only using the most natural products available is top priority for todays' woman and it's top priority for Fake Bake too.
Our research and development experts are dedicated to formulating self tanning products with the best natural ingredients and they continually raise the bar on performance.
Sophisticated processes now mean that DHA (one of the tanning ingredients in which is derived from sugar beets) - is more controllable and predictable than ever before.
So here's the clever bit - our self-tanning products contain both DHA and Erythulose tanning agents. Both are naturally clear in colour and work by "tanning" the melanin cells which lie at the very top layers in your own skin - safely! The higher the levels of melanin you have, the darker your tan will be. Don't worry if you have naturally low levels of melanin though - the tanning agents will gently stimulate the production of melanin and so over the course of a few nights of applying, your tan will deepen and darken if you so desire.
With DHA and Erythulose being naturally colourless - we added a dark brown colour guide to our self tanning products so that you can easily see if you miss a spot. The colour guide is then removed after the tanning agents have developed and voila! your beautiful tan appears.
As conscientious environmentalists, our products contain no harsh preservatives, only natural ingredients and are never tested on animals. Ever!
