A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER
“I have worked in beauty now for over 35 years having gained numerous qualifications, certificates and credentials across advanced treatments, product lines and alternative therapies.
Laurabella, is for me, the coming together of years of accomplished treatment refinement, persistent investment in technologies, education and staff contentment and a determination to bring something truly unique and wonderful to everyone that walks through our door. Our treatments are unparalleled and the product of years of polishing to achieve perfection. Our staff are highly skilled and uphold our ethos that ‘every client deserves a five-star experience’.
Named after my two daughters: Laura & Annabel; Laurabella encompasses the feeling of unwavering love a mother feels for her daughters. The last 18 years of business have demonstrated we put that same energy and love into what we do.
I truly hope you love the spa as much as I do.”

THE HISTORY OF LAURABELLA
In 2002 Laurabella was a one-room enterprise in the spare bedroom of Emma’s home. Fast forward to 2005, we were in the process of transforming the old Coach House at Strattons Farms into the spa you see today. Built on love, passion and a want to bring something unique and different to the community, Laurabella, The Barn was complete and ready to provide unrivalled quality and services to Hampshire, Berkshire and beyond.

Whilst a lot has changed in the past 19 years, the beauty of our natural surroundings here at Laurabella will remain as spectacular as ever. Overlooking The Downs and encompassed by farmland, Laurabella’s unique placement within the local vernacular has cemented our position as a celebrated individual day spa and salon for years to come.
