Salon in the Spotlight: Laura Lou Treatments, Osmaston, Derbyshire

Aesthetics practitioner & beauty therapist, Laura Louise Higgins, welcomes us into her pretty pink garden salon, Laura Lou Treatments…

Laura Louise Higgins undertook her nail training with a vision to offer intimate one-to-one appointments, where clients could always feel welcome and not rushed. She launched her nail business from her kitchen, but soon outgrew the space and sought a better environment from which to offer treatments. She wasn’t able to take up a salon role around her family commitments, so ordered a log cabin that she could assemble in her garden.

“I decided that the cabin should be pink,” smiles Laura Louise. The Glitterbels fanatic has completed a number of courses with the brand, and wanted to channel its signature look in her own space to create a ‘micro Glitterbels HQ’. “I painted the salon in baby pink and introduced gold blinds and emerald green accessories,” she continues. “I added white wisteria outside, and my training certificates hang in gold frames for clients to see.”

Laura Louise offers gel polish, L&P acrylic, builder gel and full cover tip services using Glitterbels and Nail Order products, and praises the brands’ support. “The cabin is a special place in which my clients and I can dream up designs and enjoy a good natter. I love that I make them feel comfortable and they can enjoy their treatments in a private, quiet location,” she adds. “Looking to the future, I’d like to become an educator and own a second premises to carry out other treatments.”
