HELLO, AND WELCOME..​

‘Our passion is helping woman to see that they are 'worth it', and that they deserve to be pampered and nourished. Not just for special occasions, but for every day’.

Blushed and Beautiful, formally Bronzed and Beautiful, was born 5 years ago in the garage of my home, when my partner surprised me with a spray tanning machine for my birthday. Little did he know that he had ignited the spark that was to lead to the entrepreneurial journey that I am still enjoying today.

Fast forward seven years, and I now own and operate a beautiful shabby chic/ French provincial styled makeup and hairdressing salon in the heart of Ballina; 25 mins from Byron Bay and hinterland. Stocking the full range of Gorgeous Cosmetics makeup, and the CPR Vita 5 hair care range, we only use cruelty free and vegan products where possible.

Our biggest business achievement to date is winning the Northern Rivers 'Hair & Beauty Business of the Year' award for two years in a row; 2016 and 2017. My personal achievement is winning the 'Entrepreneur of the Year' award for 2015. This tells me two things; my business is on the right track, and our clients know that they are more than just a number to us.

My clients are my canvas. My makeup and hairdressing tools are my instruments. And my passion is creating a unique style that encapsulates the essence that makes you, you..

We hope to see you at our beautiful Hair and Beauty Lounge soon,

Melissa

Kylie T:  Hello. My name is Kylie and I had Blushed Hair and Beauty Lounge do the makeup and hair styling for my wedding on the 8th October 2017. I was impressed by not only the quality of their work, but also the attention to detail that was shown throughout the trial and the actual wedding day. For a bride, knowing that you have professional people you can count on is priceless. I can definitely recommend Blushed - you will not be disappointed.
