Do you know what beauticians and housekeepers have in common? Of course, there are similarities! Several even. Virginie carefully packs away these similarities, every winter, in her U Capu Biancu housekeeper's caddy. As soon as the new season comes around, she brings them out as precious treasures. For those that know Virginie and her careful attention to detail, it's not hard to understand that she originally trained as a beautician.
From beauty tohousekeeping
Virginie spent the first sixteen years of her professional life with a world-renowned beauty brand. Acting first as a beautician (her dream as a little girl), she then very quickly became the assistant manager of a shop. Boosting sales, letting the figures do the talking and motivating her teams. Then came a furious desire for change, with a child she wished to offer a protected environment. One meeting with the U Capu Biancu later, she was transformed into a conscientious maid, then later – after training – a housekeeper taking care of each and every last detail.
Housekeeping: more than a job, it is a matter of high standards
Today, Virginie keeps an eye on everything! Everything in its proper place! Nothing escapes her sharp gaze: not a crease in the sheets, nor a grain of sand, not even a speck of dust. "Guests should be able to feel at home, without having to worry about anything", she says. And so she looks after it all. Scrupulously. She looks after customers' needs and watches over the work of her team.
More than a team, they are afamily
When Virginie speaks about her team, she talks of a family. A family made up of thirteen maids and room attendants, each with their own personality. She recognises the harshness of this work that her family "practices only out of passion". A family she prefers to lead through listening and empathy. Yes, there are certain similarities between the work of a beautician and that of a housekeeper. Taking care of others, for example. Of you. Here at the U Capu Biancu hotel, Virginie will make sure that you feel good in your body, in your head and ... in your room!
