A Dundee beauty salon linked to a troubled national chain has been ordered to pay a former employee over £2,100 in unpaid wages and pension deductions after it was found to have withheld them unlawfully.
Skin HQ was found to have made unauthorised deductions from Rachel Dingwall's wages and has been ordered to repay them in full by an employment tribunal. The company, based in the former DP&L building in East Dock Street, sent her a paycheque after she quit the job in January 2022 but failed to make good on her final earnings.
Skin HQ operated a number of beauty salons across the UK, but closed them down earlier this year amid claims customers were being charged for treatments they were never able to receive. The Dundee branch later rebranded as Skin@ but has since closed down.
