Forresters Beach Retirement Village

Today is RUOK? Day. You might be surprised to learn that many people underestimate the power of an RUOK? conversation.
“1 in 4 people might hesitate to ask even when they think someone is struggling, that’s why today we are reminding everyone that if someone is on your mind, trust your instinct and start a conversation .”(RUOK? Website)
There is a basket of flowers in the Lakehouse today. Take one, give it to a friend and start a conversation.

Get to know Chloe from Chloe's at Lakeside - Beauty Salon🌸

I’m a proud mum of three and wife to my wonderful husband.

I’ve been working as a beauty therapist for 20 years, and for the past 12 years I’ve had the absolute pleasure of owning and running the beauty salon here at Forresters Beach Retirement Village.💆🏼‍♀️✨

I absolutely love what I do and, most of all, I love the beautiful, loyal clientele I’ve built over the years. It’s also so lovely meeting new ladies and welcoming them into the salon. 🩷

Working here is something I truly cherish. It’s a joy and a privilege to be part of such a beautiful village and community, and I’m so grateful for all the wonderful women who continue to support my little business. ✨

Thank you for allowing me to do what I love every day. 💅🧖‍♀️🩷🌸

Love Chloe ###
