Meet the Team

Sue Forbes

Hello everybody, my name is Sue and I am the owner of the Top To Toe Beauty Therapy Clinics in Christchurch, New Zealand.

I have come from a nursing background of more that 30 years, and in looking for a change in direction, I studied for and gained my National Qualification in Beauty Therapy.

After gaining some experience in the beauty industry, I purchased my first clinic in Wairakei Road, Bryndwr, Christchurch. With expanding clientelle, I saw an opportunity, a year later to create a second clinic in the suburb of Avondale, Christchurch. With wonderful results, and obviously fulfilling a need in the local community.

I enjoy all aspects of owning and operating my business and I have been very fortunate to have exceptionally qualified and motivated therapists in my employment , and I value their continual imput on a daily basis. We , at Top To Toe work closely together as a team and offer a quality service to all our clients

We look forward to meeting and treating you in the near future.
