Voice’s Salon of the Month is Beau Belle, which is located at the shopping precinct of The Gaer in Newport.

This stylish new salon opened its doors in August 2015, and has already built up a long list of extremely loyal clientele who have been impressed with its high-quality products and services, as well as its excellent customer care and service. This is reputation is due to the expertise and knowledge of owner Kirsty Beard, with the natural talent of beautician Jessie Padfield.

Owner Kirsty has 14 years of experience within the beauty industry, and in 2008 qualified as a teacher, gaining a PGCE qualification. For six years she taught at Coleg Gwent, then finally realised her dream of opening her own salon last summer.

“My experience of working on both sides of the industry has given me an extensive knowledge of the beauty world,” said Kirsty.

“Beau Belle opened its doors with one goal in mind – to offer fabulous beauty services, using high-quality products that are available to all women at affordable prices. We pride ourselves on these principles, with an ethos of being welcoming, professional, and ultimately, a venue where you can relax and let life’s troubles drift away in comfortable surroundings.

“I mentored Jessie since she gained her qualifications at Coleg Gwent, and was impressed with her ability and attitude – she has since been trained in HD Brows, HD MakeUp, and is about to complete her Pro Styler HD status in May.

“I had originally planned for her to be part-time, but her skills as a beautician have become in highdemand, and Jessie is now employed full-time to keep up with the demand.

“Jessie has also just completed a Nouveau LvL Lashes course, becoming a certified Ultimate Lash Technician, and is now able to offer short-term lashes ideal for the weekend, to long-term monthly lash fixes.

“We offer a wide range of beauty treatments here at Beau Belle, which includes CND Shellac pedicures and manicures, LvL Lashes and HD eyebrow shaping and makeup, St Tropez Tanning, and also body waxing.

“Because the beauty world is ever-changing, with new innovations and break-through products available all the time, we at Beau Belle believe in training to offer our customers the very best services.

“With High Definition Brows and Make-Up, and LvL Lashes ticked off the list, I will be continuing my professional development with Nouveau Contour Training – Beau Belle will be offering semi-permanent make-up in late 2016, which will be one of the first salon’s to offer this unique treatment in Newport.

“Jessie and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our wonderful clients who have supported us since day one – the response has been just fantastic. We’re so thankful that the women of Newport love our friendly approach and quality beauty services.

“We look forward to welcoming new clients to our salon too, we guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.”
