Alice's partner, Dane Knight, shared a tribute on Facebook, saying: "Want to say a heart felt thank you to all family and friends that were here for us at our time of need, including all of the kind messages sent to my children and myself.
"There [were] some very beautiful messages sent by some of your children that formed a start of a smile from the corner of my kids' mouth."
Alice is understood to have joined the beauty and aesthetics industry two years ago and was an advanced aesthetic practitioner.
A GoFundMe page set up to help raise money for the family by her friend, Abigail Irwin, said: "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."
Ms Irwin added: "Alice was beautiful inside and out with the biggest heart, her family was her world she is leaving behind her partner Dane & 5 beautiful children."
Gloucestershire police said in a statement: "Two people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death of a woman in her 30s in Gloucester.
