The Haven Team
Debra
Joint Owner
My name is Debra Bell and I would like to welcome you to The Haven, a small piece of heaven on the tranquil shores of
Scotland's beautiful Loch Lomond. My dream for The Haven began many years ago while living and working in the Far
East. My time spent in Hong Kong expanded my mind in so many different directions and gave me a greater understanding of simplicity and balance and how achieving this in our lives can enrich our everyday existence beyond belief. In
Australia I learned to appreciate our natural bounty and began creating exotic lotions and potions made purely from
Mother Natures treasure chest of herbs and plant life.
In Thailand I discovered Reiki and learned the importance of finding beauty within. Our body is so powerful there is
nothing we cannot achieve - sometimes we just need a helping hand. And finally in Bali I found bliss. Here I was
introduced to the wonder of the Natural Spa. In this tropical
Paradise I found sanctuaries full of wonderful aromas, sounds, sights and sensations- retreats where you would go to
be pampered and pummeled, spaces where your senses are overwhelmed by the elements, where you would switch off and
simply be. With these thoughts, feelings and memories in mind I created The Haven.
Whether you are in need of a pampering body treatment, a luxurious beauty boost or simply wish to switch off and
forget the stresses of everyday life, you'll find exactly what you are looking for here at The Haven. I wish you all
you wish for yourself - relax and enjoy.
Eric
Joint Owner
I am joint owner of the business with my wife Debra. I came on-board ful time 3 years ago and love being part of the team (although being surrounded by women 24 hours a day is not always as exciting as it sounds!!!. (Only joking girls!).
The highlight of my time at The Haven so far has to be when we were announced as winners of the Salon of Year (Scotland and NW) in London last year. The atmosphere was electric and none of us could wipe the smiles from our faces for days afterwards.
Lynn
Salon Manager
There have been many highlights during my time with the Haven with the most memorable being the occasions when I won the UK Facial Therapist of the Year Award at the British Beauty & Spa Awards ceremonies in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Knowing I have make the Hall of Fame in 2010 is breath-taking and something I will always be tremendously proud of.
In 2009 I was promoted to Salon Manager which has expanded my mind in so many different directions and given me challenges and experiences I would could never have dreamt of. Although I continue to work with clients on a daily basic, my focus now includes training and motivating others in the team to continue to offer our exceptional standards in everything we do.
One of my favourite parts of my work now is mentoring new members of staff and helping them to gain the same levels of satisfaction from their work as I continue to do.
Louise
Therapist
I joined The Haven from a local Helensburgh salon in early 2010 and love being part of a great team here at The Haven. I had been a client for many years before so I already knew The Haven well and I’m pleased to say, it is everything I thought it would be. I love doing Massage (particularly Hot Stones) and building up relationships with clients and watching the different regular treatments can make to their lives.
Tracey
Therapist
My name is Tracey and I joined The Haven in April 2011. I am in my 3rd year of an HND in Beauty and Holistic Therapies at Clydebank College.
I work mostly out of the Balloch branch and cannot believe how much I have learned since joining. I love working with Lycon wax and specialise in Hollywood and Brazilian waxing services.
