A local resident has started up a beauty salon in Washington buildings in Penarth.

Lexie Newman started the business, Moonstone Studio, as a mobile operation in and around the Cardiff area.

As her treatment list has expanded she wanted somewhere static to hold her appointments.

She has chosen a space in Penarth to set up and will be holding a launch party later this month.

Nub News spoke to Ms. Newman about her venture and what she will be offering to the local community.

She said: ''I chose Penarth because it's my home town.

''I love Penarth, I love the people, it's a gorgeous area.

''I'm already going but I'm doing the launch party to promote myself in the area and show people where I am now.

''I do Microblading, hair extensions (in many forms), eyebrow lamination, semi permanent eyelash extensions, and make up for any occasion.

''I offer discounted rates and programmes for those suffering with medical hair loss of any form, I call these my in recovery programme."

The launch party will be held on November 27th from 7 pm -10 pm at 2 Washington Chambers.

Prosecco and cake will be available as well as a 60% off treatment for the first 10 lucky visitors.

The service is appointment only which can be booked via phone or Facebook.
