A NEW business venture opening in Stanford-le-Hope this week - offering beauty, cosmetic and personal care.

The opening of a new shop 'Aura Lashes and Asthetics' is the culmination of a dream by owner Taylor Young, who started her business online, and with appointments, five years ago - but now she has her own premises at 23 Turold Road.

"We had the opening on Saturday (28 September) and it was really lovely, with family and friends there to wish me well," said Laura, who adds: "I trained in levels 2 and 3 beauty ten years ago. Six years ago I found my passion for lashes and brows and went into business, and I have also been passing that passions and skills on to students when they trained with me."

AURA will be offering all beauty treatments including lashes, nails and aesthetics!
