Raising the bar for beauty at Velvet Rose
Claire Baxter, owner of Velvet Rose Galgorm,
on why high standards and excellent service
matter to her as a salon owner.
In a world where beauty is deeply personal, ever-evolving, and powerfully transformative, high standards are not a luxury – they’re a necessity.
At The Velvet Rose, we believe excellence is the foundation of everything we do, which is why we’re proud to be accredited by both the Good Salon Guide and more recently, the British Complementary Medicine Association (BCMA). These recognitions aren’t just badges on the wall, they represent our unwavering commitment to safety, quality, professionalism, and care.
IT’S AN EXPERIENCE
Anyone can offer a treatment. But what sets a truly outstanding salon apart is how people feel before, during, and after their visit. High standards touch every aspect of the experience, from the warmth of the welcome to the cleanliness of the space, from the precision of the service to the emotional well-being of the client. Especially in a setting as intimate as a beauty salon, trust and care matter just as much as the end result.
OUR ACCREDITATIONS MEAN ACCOUNTABILITY
Being accredited by the Good Salon Guide and the BCMA means our team, techniques, and environment are regularly assessed to meet industry-wide benchmarks of quality and professionalism. The BCMA accreditation reflects our commitment to holistic wellness and complementary practices, ensuring we support clients not just on the outside, but emotionally and energetically too. These recognitions give our clients peace of mind, knowing they’re in safe, skilled, and compassionate hands.
TRAINING, HYGIENE, AND INTEGRITY
High standards mean ongoing education. Our team is constantly updating their knowledge, staying ahead of trends while grounding their practice in proven techniques.
We adhere to the strictest hygiene protocols because cleanliness is not negotiable — it’s a sign of respect for our clients and our craft. Integrity guides every decision we make, whether it’s recommending a product that genuinely suits a client or simply listening without judgment.
INCLUSIVE BEAUTY
We believe high standards include how we treat people. Our salon is a space where everyone is welcome — every skin tone, hair type, gender identity, and personal journey. We are committed to learning, growing, and creating a beauty experience that is inclusive, empowering, and safe for all.
WHY IT MATTERS
Upholding high standards raises the bar for the entire industry. It protects clients, empowers professionals, and strengthens reputations. But most of all, it sends a message: that beauty is more than skin deep — it’s about care, connection, and confidence.
At our salon, high standards aren’t just part of what we do — they are who we are. And when you walk through our doors, we promise to deliver not just a service, but a standard you can count on.
