A Q&A WITH

VICKI HENDRY OWNER OF
FACE UP FOR BEAUTY,
AESTHETIC SKIN CARE & BEAUTY
SPECIALIST & ENTREPRENEUR

Born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, grew up in Atherstone,
Warwickshire. After 6th Form, studied Hair & Beauty at North
Warwickshire College of Technology and Art.

After qualifying, I realised my options were a) working on
cruise ships for Steiner; b) working for BBC in theatre makeup
dept or c) working on a health farm. This is what Spa’s used
to be called back in the day.

Day Spa’s and City Centre beauty salons hadn’t really
emerged back in the 1980’s and the pay was awful!

So I decided to take a part time, temporary clerical job at
the local district council offices. Roll the clock forward fifteen
years, I’ve graduated and qualified as an accountant, am
married and now living in Derby and have worked for the
NHS, local government and in the private sector as a Group
Finance Director in the construction industry.

Yet I’d always wanted to run my own business and, following
a chance meeting with Yvonne, the owner of Face Up, to
offer some professional business advice, I made a radical
decision to resign from my finance role and join Face Up as
a business partner. Yvonne had taken an absence from the
business due to a serious illness the previous year and was
looking for some professional advice and support.

The plan was I would work behind the scenes bringing my
skills to complement Yvonne’s but very much her remaining
the face of Face Up.

The next four years saw me take on another new role, that of
being a mum to our two daughters. Life indeed had changed
beyond recognition and was very busy!

Face Up had been established in the 1980’s and had gained
an enviable reputation for high quality brands and innovative
treatments. I soon realised I hadn’t lost my interest in the
beauty industry and was excited by how it was changing
and evolving with access to new technology and high quality
products. I began to refresh my skills with lots of training and
began working in the business as well as on the business.

In 2008, Yvonne retired from the business, just a matter of
weeks before the financial markets and banking scandals hit
the headlines and spelled the doom of recession for all. It
was a time not for the faint hearted. I missed her very much
but it was a time for rolling up our sleeves and getting on
with it.

Increased Muscle Strength and Tone
Strong muscles do more than look good. They
protect us from conditions such as arthritis and
back pain. They also assist in preventing falls
in elderly people. Yoga exercises also prevent
cartilage and joint breakdown as well as supplying
protection for your spine.

Weight Reduction
Being overweight is a sign that there are
disproportions in your everyday life and one major
contributor to weight increase is additional stress.
Practising yoga enables you to get a deep sense of
relaxation to your body and your mind, assisting
you to de-stress and permitting you to lose weight
naturally.

Improved Balance
Regularly practicing yoga increases proprioception
and improves balance. People with bad posture
or dysfunctional movement typically have poor
proprioception, which has been connected to
knee problems and back pain. Enhanced balance
can mean less falls. For the elderly, this interprets
into further independence and delayed admission
to a care home or maybe never arriving at one at
all.

Stress Relief
Yoga is known for its ability to ease stress and
promote relaxation. When used alone or along
with other methods of alleviating stress, such as
meditation, yoga can be a powerful way to keep
stress in check.

Improves Self-Esteem
Many people suffer from low self-esteem and if it
is handled negatively, you may pay the price with
poorer health physically, mentally and spiritually.
If you take a positive approach and practice Yoga,
you will eventually sense that you’re worthwhile
or as Yogic philosophy teaches, that you are a
manifestation of the Divine.

If you feel you would like to give Yoga a go, visit
imsavvy.co.uk where you can find some places
around derby that offer Yoga sessions.
