WHEN Amy Hart decided to set up as a beauty therapist, she found the ideal site – right at the bottom of her garden.

In fact, Amy took one look at the games room which sat in the garden of the family home near Solihull and knew it would provide her with a beauty salon with a difference.

With a bit of investment she was able to turn it into The Little Cabin, where she now offers her own list of treatments.

The cabin is self-contained with reception area, showers, bathroom and treatment room all in the countryside setting of the village of Barston.

When she branched out on her own, Amy knew she wanted something different.

“In this country we don’t tend to use cabins as spas,” she says. “It is a bit like being in the middle of a park.”

And she was determined that visitors have a real spa experience.

“When you go to some spas it can be a bit like a conveyor belt with one person straight in after another,” she says. “I have worked in places where you are expected to do a treatment an hour and that just doesn’t give people enough time. Everybody’s body dances a different dance and you can’t treat them all the same.
