Dear Ms Lowe

Application for Senior Spa Therapist

I am applying for the Senior Spa Therapist post at The Regency Spa. I have seven years at Lavender Rooms Salon in Brighton, where I trained as an apprentice and qualified to Level 3 in beauty therapy and body massage.

I see about nine clients a day for facials, waxing, brows and lashes, nails and massage, and many of them book me by name. I consult every new client on skin and allergies, and patch test before every tint. In 2025 I sold about £1,400 of skincare a month, the highest in the salon.

I would like to move into a spa so that I can give more facials and body treatments, and I have trained two apprentices, which I would enjoy doing in a bigger team. I can work weekends and evenings.

My CV is attached. I would be glad to give a trade test at a time that suits you. Thank you for considering my application.

Yours sincerely
Chloe Fenwick
