“I am hoping to raise as many funds as we can to support Dane, the partner of Alice and their five beautiful children at this very difficult sad time.

“Alice passed away Monday evening after having the BBL treatment which has gone wrong.

“Alice joined the beauty & Aesthetics industry two years ago and she has been smashing it, doing amazing.

“She cared about her clients, she would always check in to see if they were OK, Alice was a beautiful person inside and out and I feel very lucky to have known her and to have spent time with her in our salon.

“Alice would ask for advice all the time and ask to check if there was anything more she could do to improve her skills but she was just a pure natural and never needed my help but always wanting to be the best at her job and that she was,” the campaign statement reads.
