Visit RTM Blades in Wickham St (Cathedral Village) for modern beard grooming and fresh cuts with traditional service. Unisex barber Dreamboat on Winn Lane is the go-to for buzzcuts and bold colours.
Bold brows, lush lashes and dream makeup looks
A big event calls for the full look - on trend brows (we're told 'untamed' and 'bushy' brows will be trending in 2024), matcha eyes and eyelash extensions. Make me Luxe in Bakery Lane is the go-to place if you need the complete look for a special event. Founder Isabella Pacaudmua will elevate your natural beauty with her incredible professional make-up artistry and up-do skills. A good eyelash perm can be found at Shehnaz Beauty Salon in McWhirters Centre. If you need to get skin deep, head to Me &U Beauty in Warner Street.
