Autumn 2025

14 | LUXlife Magazine ore than a quarter of a century building and managing international teams to deliver flawless experiences within the superyacht industry taught Alice Widdows all there is to know about going above and beyond to leave the customer satisfied. Having served superyacht owners and their guests – including princesses and presidents – in some of the most glamourous destinations worldwide, it is fair to say that Alice today knows luxury experiences like the back of her hand. Alice told us: “I appreciate the importance and privilege of seeing the rich tapestry of life. The diversity of human relationships across countries and cultures. In building happy, inclusive communities and productive teams I am inspired to seek contrasting experiences and perspectives to challenge and improve our collective work.” Simultaneously, Alice, like all women, has been on her own personal health journey over the course of her life, the last 15 years of which have seen her walk the long road to healing from decades of burnout and mental exhaustion. Alice has spent thousands of pounds in search of health, happiness, and harmony over this period, and has been on health and wellness retreats from Mayr to Puerto Rico, picking up tips and tricks as she goes. Wynyard Therapy in many ways is an amalgamation of these experiences, offering its clients the very best in hair, body, and skin treatments sourced from around the world. From its location in the garden village of Wynyard in Country Durham, this salon/skin clinic specialises in everything from eye and brow treatments to advanced facials and medical aesthetics. These services are delivered by a qualified and talented team all fully trained in the latest industry trends and treatments. “Wynyard Therapy is at the forefront of innovation and education with a focus on investment in training, technology, and techniques that go beyond seasonal trends.” Exploring this further, Alice explained: “Our team of employed, experienced professionals include advanced skin practitioners, hair stylists, beauty therapists, and even dentists, all of whom are immensely skilled and passionate about their respective craft.” The result is that every client is greeted with a luxury wellness experience every time they step foot in the salon, something reflected in both the consistent five-star reviews Wynyard Therapy receives as well as its numerous industry awards. Best Beauty Treatments Provider 2025 – North East & LUXlife Client Service Excellence Award 2025 Most figures in the health and beauty industry do not have a background working with superyachts, but then none of them are quite like Alice Widdows. Having spent more than 25 years serving ultra-high-net-worth individuals and working with luxury brands, Alice has come to know the recipe behind excellence, discretion, and results. Today, she brings this dedication and skill to Wynyard Therapy, a hair and beauty salon renowned for its unique SKIN CLUB® subscription service. We caught up with Alice to find out more about her diverse ventures. On top of this, clients also benefit from the use of leading brands across their appointments and treatments, with just some of the labels being favoured across Wynyard Therapy’s portfolio including L’Oreal Professional, Alumier MD, Remi Cachet, and Nouveau Beauty. Champagne from Moet & Chandon is the cherry on top – a reflection of the luxury that every element of this experience both strives for and delivers on. Nowhere is this better seen than through the aforementioned SKIN CLUB, a pioneering and exclusive subscription service that makes high-end skincare accessible to everyone. This membership is available for men and women alike, with its affordable annual price including an initial consultation, a customised skincare plan, advanced facial treatments, a free Alumier MD starter kit (worth £200), and exclusive discounts. More information about SKIN CLUB, including how to sign up, can be found here. Offerings such as SKIN CLUB also allow Wynyard Therapy to contribute to charities like NELD North East Ladies Day, which has been supporting local causes since 1983. A patron of NELD, Alice’s drive to give back to the community is something else that sets her apart as a leader and distinguishes her salon from the competition. Finally, reflecting on the duo of her awards her business has won in this programme, Alice said: “At Wynyard Therapy, we believe in creating elevated experiences with a truly personalised touch – we go above and beyond to make each guest feel special, valued, and that they belong.” It is our pleasure to reward this dedication, championing both its salon and its SKIN CLUB® subscription service for their innovation.
