At Bellessa Lounge we feel that your experience with us should be one where you leave feeling and looking your very best. We believe that having treatment of any kind is a luxury and that your experience with us should be precious.

Our hair stylists pride themselves on getting to the heart of their client’s requirements and offering advice on styling and products to recreate their work at home. Whether a simple cut and blow-dry or a journey to a new colour or style, your ideas are turned into a reality. Consultations are complimentary so come and discuss your hair inspiration with the team. All of our stylists are also extremely creative when it comes to hairstyles for special events including weddings and school proms where a glamorous updo is required!

The Beauty Therapists at Bellessa Lounge offer many treatments to invigorate through massage and facial therapies. We’re also known to give a little va-va-voom with some bright and zingy nail colours for hands and toes. If you need to be holiday ready then a spray tan might be on the cards for you. We even offer lush lashes and that ‘perfectly arched’ brow.

All of our stylists and therapists are highly trained and keep their knowledge relevant and updated regularly with additional training throughout the year. Book a consultation and come and realise your beauty ambitions! 

When I acquired the salon I had a vision of a place where I would want to come and spend my time and money. Somewhere that was warm and welcoming. I’d spent years being a salon client in many locations all over the country and often felt that there was something missing. At times I even felt self-conscious in the presence of the beautiful people working there; when my hair, nails or skin weren’t at their best. For some time I didn’t visit salons, preferring to use a therapist who worked from home.

However, it wasn’t long before I missed “me time” indulging in light-hearted gossip or soul-bearing to a stylist or therapist who doesn’t judge. That feeling of being ‘you’ and not a ‘parent’, ‘employee’, ‘employer’ or whoever you are day-to-day.

I hope that you all share my vision and that you enjoy the time you spend with us here at Bellessa Lounge.

Charlotte Parker | Salon Owner
I’ve been inspired by the Art Deco movement as well as Industrial Chic. I’m also partial to a healthy dose of the weird and the wonderful, which is apparent in the new salon and our wonderful new brand, ‘Bellessa Lounge’.

Bellessa Lounge is on an evolutionary journey that I hope you enjoy sharing with me and the team as we endeavour to improve facilities and offer new and exciting services and products. We’ll also be launching our online store and the VIP members club over the coming months.

I’m always happy to receive feedback and constructive criticism, so please share your thoughts and suggestions. I also like to support local business services wherever possible and so if you feel your business would be a good fit for Bellessa Lounge then please get in touch at charlotte@bellessalounge.com.

OUR TEAM

Stacey | Beauty Therapist

Stacey loves the Beauty Industry even after 40 years of making her clients feel like a million dollars. She loves chatting to and meeting new clients and along with knowing every day is going to bring different treatments these are just a couple of reasons she’s become such a success in our team.

Since coming to Bellessa Lounge she’s also upskilled and qualified in Builder In a Bottle Manicures along with E-file training and this has motivated her even further.

Stacey is powered by a good cappuccino but holds no truck with the biscuit dunkers of the world and has recently discovered the rabbit hole of social media and the land of nail art and (maybe) she’s become a little obsessed! She is most definitely not a fan of the “Reality Shows” but she’s keeping quiet about that as one of her colleagues is!! Shhh!

If you absolutely had to pin her down to a fave treatment it would more than likely be anything wax related although Gel & BIAB manicures are becoming a passion too, but beware, fluffy jumpers are a big “no, no!”

Tilly | Beauty Therapist

Once met, never forgot!

Tilly is one of our younger members of the team and with that comes boundless energy and a passion for all that she can do. She is qualified in pretty much anything nail related, hands or feet along with Brow and Lash treatments. She is very keen to continue to train in other therapies so watch out for more of her talents to be revealed. She loves a good spray tan and is definitely the one that glows from the outside in the team. Tilly has recently passed her waxing assessments with flying colours and is not available to free you from fuzz on most areas of your body!

She is an expert on Social Media and what’s hot and not, who is on trend and who isn’t, who to follow and who to not and she mostly communicates via TikTok and Instagram reels which keeps us all on our toes.

She has that rare ability to be at ease with all age groups, male or female!

If we had to pin her down to her fave treatments, without even asking it would be Brow Laminations followed by Hyrbrid Tint brows, she gets very excited at the outcomes!

Tina | Senior Stylist

Tina is our longest-servicing employee and is constantly looking for ways to upskill and refresh the services she can offer to her loyal clients along with attracting new clients.

She’s been with the salon through many different names since she was 16, but she’s as fresh as a daisy with her enthusiasm and commitment to doing her best to inform and inspire her clients with what they can achieve with their hair goals.

She has recently trained in tape-in hair extensions and passed her assessments with flying colours (as if we expected any different!).

Tina loves anything colour-related for clients, whether that is a complete change up or maintaining a certain look, she absolutely loves the milk_shake range that we offer as it can bring so much to a client, whilst being kind to hair. She’s renowned for her occasion hair from weddings, to proms to race days to parties.

Tina is warm, and family orientated with two small children and a partner but the team along with her clients is her second family, she’s known for her warmth and humour and always goes the extra mile.

Justine | Salon Manager

Justine was promoted to the manager of the salon in 2021 and her commitment to the clients knows no boundaries, she’s an “of course, we can” manager! We have to tell her to slow down sometimes!

Along with her managerial duties, she is a brilliant mentor for our younger team members and offers advice, support and guidance to them so that they can take full advantage of her many talents and experience within the industry.

Justine believes that perfect brows are an instant lift to anyone’s face, in fact, she believes that “if you can only have one treatment for the rest of your life, brows are the one!” 

Justine’s nail work is also one of her calling cards and she loves to experiment with new colours and new nail art designs.

Justine and her husband are proud fur parents to a pair of felines who live their best lives and when she’s not in the salon she is knee and nail deep in her newest passion of gardening, just know that any work is thirsty work and she may be trying a cocktail or two to keep her motivated!

Amie | Stylist

Amie graduated in the Summer of 2022 and joined us as a recent college graduate, having previously worked for Debenhams in their Beauty Department. Amie also holds a level 3 qualification in Beauty Therapy. After being made redundant Amie retrained to become a Hair Stylist.

Occasion hair (any occasion, she’s not fussy!) is one of her passions along with absolutely anything colour-related. As a curly girl herself, she’s also a bit of an expert on how to take locks and loves passing her self-discovered knowledge on to others.

Amie is mum to two children and has a wedding booked for 2025, so apart from juggling a family she is also full-on wedding planning. Privately a self-confessed gaming nerd, she also keeps herself up to date with any new trends and hair fashions. Since coming back from her maternity leave she’s also immersed herself in the milk_shake range of colours and treatments so that she can offer the best solutions for her clients.

Lottie | Stylist

Lottie joined us in January 2024 and already feels like part of the furniture (in a good way), she graduated in 2022 and is passionate about her career. She definitely loves a balayage but can also be found perming! Like most stylists she loves to colour, any colour, or foil! One of the things she has loved since joining our team has been getting to know our lovely client base, who have more than welcomed her.

Since coming to us she has qualified in nano tip extensions and is creating a loyal following from existing and new clients. We’ve yet to find anything she’s not keen on or won’t turn her hand to, she has an open and friendly manner and has already had some fabulous Google reviews in such a short space of time.

She loves giving people confidence through their hair and is obsessed with following any hair accounts to give her ideas and inspiration to pass on to clients. She’s found her “work Mum” in Tina and they work together like a dream team.

Lily | Beauty Therapist

Lily came to us as a work experience student through Fareham college, she turned out to be so talented that we offered her a position alongside her studies.

She’s qualified in facials, brow and lash tints, Manicure and pedicures with gel products or builder in a bottle, however anyone who has met her or seen her work will know one of her passions is acrylic nails.

She started in her bedroom at the age of 12 and it is testament to her determination and focus that she is such a talent now. We have new clients who have never had acrylic nails before who are completely converted along with existing clients trying this method for the first time and loving them.
