Meet the Urban beauty squad
Published 10th July 2024
While we're known for massages, did you know we also partner with some of London's best beauty pros? We got to know 10 of our top rated pros over brunch.
In June we invited some of Urban's most highly-rated beauty pros to a London brunch event – all in celebration of their hard work and commitment. We wanted to say thank you in the form of laughter, perfectly-poached eggs and an ice-breaker bingo game.
It also gave them the chance to meet other like-minded beauty therapists who work in the community, share stories and swap tips. Take a look below at some of the highlights and, most importantly, meet the pros we're proud to work with daily.
