Renee Daniels has always loved doing make-up.

“It’s my specialty,” she said. “Before I did a diploma qualification, I taught myself.

“Now it’s my life – so much actually goes into it and I love seeing the customers so happy.”

Renee and her sister Jade Stevens have opened a new business in Lismore - Pretty Please Hair and Beauty.

The salon, with its jade green walls and clean stylish décor has been opened for about two months.

Renee said it’s “tucked away” down a laneway off Carrington Street, next to Dragonfly Coffee Shop.

“We’re located near PlayQuest and The Essential Movement Pilates,” she said.

“But we’d love people to come in and say hello.”

Renee is offering facials, waxing, glam makeup and hair wash and blow dry.

Jade will be cutting hair on Saturdays and her speciality is hair colouring.

“I’m studying hairdressing at TAFE at the moment and when I’m qualified I’ll be cutting hair too,” Renee said.

“I already have a beauty therapist qualification and a Certifcate 2 in salon assisting.

“Make up is my specialty, Jade’s is colouring.”

 Renee said Jade has been a hairdresser for 16 years and came to her one day and said they should open a business together.

“Jade is my inspiration,” Renee said.

“She’s a full-time working mum and she she’s always doing her best to help people.”

“When we opened, we wanted to be available for people by appointment for special occasions.

“We thought there’s a lot of working mums and we wanted to make ourselves available outside of normal opening times - so we are there when we they need us.”

Renee and Jade have been getting customers who want to be pampered before weddings.

School formals are also coming up and the salon is already getting bookings from customers keen to look their best for the end of year celebrations.

“When people have special events on, like weddings, we know they want to look fresh with their hair and make up,” Renee said.

“No-one wants to look dull and deflated for their special day.

“We can schedule them in at a time that best suits them before it starts.”

Pretty Please Hair and Beauty also stock a range of hair and beauty products which are all cruelty free, vegan and Australian made.

“That’s always been very important to both of us,” Renee said.
