about us
The seed that grew into Outhouse Beauty was sown more than 10 years ago in a discreet and historic setting in the heart of West Yorkshire.
Julia Hodgson was newly trained as a beauty therapist when her career turned a corner and she joined the banking world. Fast forward to 2017 and Julia found herself looking for new venture and discovered the answer in her own back garden!
Ironically, an old wash house dating back to the late 1800s was an inspiration to Julia to launch her state of the art laser skin therapy clinic which offers life-changing treatments.
Laser hair removal, is increasingly in demand as the specialised treatment has now become an affordable and practical part of modern life – no longer a luxury reserved for the wealthy.
In recent years, tattoos have gone from subculture to pop culture with surveys revealing more than a fifth of British adults have been ‘inked’ with celebrities and sports personalities blazing the trail of increasingly large ,and often regretted, designs. Nearly half of millennials say they have a tattoo and as a result tattoo removal is a growing industry.
Outhouse Beauty offers treatments to fade or remove tattoos as well as other specialist skin treatments and Julia offers day-time, evening or weekend slots to fit around busy clients who have hectic lives with jobs and family.
Julia spaces out all her appointments to ensure clients can arrive and leave discreetly. She has created a peaceful ambient in the detached and beautifully renovated building to put clients at ease and make them feel comfortable and relaxed.
Julia divides her time between running her business and looking after her two young boys.
