Meet Zoe

Hi, I'm Zoe Lavender —
forever a student.

I began my journey in 2006 with a simple passion: beautiful nails. Twenty years later, that passion has grown into an obsession with education, safety, and raising standards across our industry.

In 2019 I flew to LA to train in Russian Manicure. I've since trained with leading educators in Canada and Europe, spent a year mastering Hard Gel and E-file techniques, and completed advanced pedicure training to bring the very latest methods back to Devon.

I'm also proud to have launched Victoria Quinn — my own professional gel brand — and to have attended Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within in Germany, because personal growth makes me a better educator for you.

  • Award-Winning Nail Technician & Educator

  • Qualified Mentor — I trained to be a better teacher
  • Eco Salon since 2021 — certified, not just claimed

Proud Eco Salon since 2021

Torbay's first salon in the Green Salon Collective. Nail dust, foils and salon waste are responsibly recycled — including nail dust, which as a micro plastic, never breaks down in landfill. Now it's converted to energy and fed back into the national grid. Nothing to landfill.
