Cityscape caught up with Rhianne Danielsen, who owns and operates Beauty By Rhianne, on the best thing about working for herself, quirky tips and what sets her apart.

Specialty/favourite facial treatment? Osmosis infusion facial.

How and when did you get into the beauty business? I have been in the beauty industry for 4½ years but have only just recently opened my own salon, 11 months ago. I studied at NASA (National School of Aesthetics). 

What’s the best thing about working for yourself? Being able to take my time and give 100 percent to every client without having to rush. 

What makes you a great facialist? Taking my time and listening to every detail that the client tells me and also including extra little details to make facials more relaxing, such as using hot towels for every step and making each step feel like a facial massage.

One quirky tip for great skin that most people won’t know about? Put two teaspoons into the fridge for 20 minutes and then put the rounded sides under your eyes. This helps to get rid of eye bags, puffiness and dark circles under your eyes. 

Top tip for someone who’s never been to a facialist? Always start with a skin consultation so your therapist has a full understanding of your skin. 

Fave simple self-love treatment? Face masks. I love to put a face mask on and put my feet up and read a book.
