Meet Yvonne
Skin Health Aesthetician

Hello — I'm Yvonne Mills, founder of Yves Beauty, based at Peterpenny's Hair and Beauty Salon in Putney. My career spans over 35 years across beauty, spa, and aesthetics.
I initially trained as a beauty therapist, working in a range of high-end, central London salons and spas. To further my career, I completed a City & Guilds 7307 Teacher Training qualification, after which I joined Training Solutions (now The Learning Academy) as an educator, delivering one-day beauty workshops — whilst simultaneously lecturing in beauty and spa treatments at the London College of Fashion (LCF).
I eventually became Course Leader at LCF, going on to run the FdSc Beauty and Spa Management course for nearly a decade. I was also given the opportunity to run a short course in aesthetics at LCF — which I thoroughly enjoyed, and which ultimately led me to train as a medical aesthetician. I was then employed in this role by Dr Preema London for over seven and a half years.
Now is the right time to draw on the wealth of experience I've built — delivering bespoke, non-invasive facial treatments that cater to all skin types, at a price point that makes them accessible to a far wider audience.
The treatments I offer deliver immediate benefits — a true glow-up-and-go experience. No downtime, just clean, beautifully hydrated, plumped and smooth skin. I use botanical extracts and science-based, clinically trialled products to promote lasting skin health.
