History

Established in 1989.

A Petite Retreat is a culmination of 30 years experience in the beauty and spa industry. Jean started her career at Andover Hair and Skin Care in 1983, first as an employee, and then as the owner since 1989. After ten years at the former location on Riverina Road, Jean moved to The Olde Andover Village and completed the transformation from family hair salon to aesthetic and hair care studio. Now after thirteen years, Jean has retired the hair care aspect of her business in order to completely dedicate space for relaxation. With a new name, a new location and a new focus, Jean has again transformed her business.
