Beauty therapist Alannah Couper hopes to meet more Whanganui men but she's not looking for a date ... sorry lads.
Helping men (and women) to look and feel their best is her intention and she brings nine years of experience working in Melbourne to her hometown.
"I loved Melbourne butI really missed my family so I wanted to bring my talents home and give locals the benefits of my experience," Couper said.
"I came back in November last year and I'm working at the Red Lion where I have been encouraging customers to treat themselves after weeks of being at home."
Couper has set up her Wax Le Bella business in a room at Scarlett Grace Hair and Beauty in Victoria Ave offering wax, lash and brow tints as well as spray tan treatments.
"I'm offering treatments by appointment at this stage but now that we're at level 1, it will be great if I can move to being there fulltime and cater for walk-in clients as well," she said.
"I particularly want to encourage men to treat themselves as around half my clients in Melbourne were men and they feel good after treatments as much as the women do."
Working for a highly successful business owner in the Victorian capital inspired Couper to start her own business back home.
