Home - Beauteous Eyes

I’m Bernadette, the proud owner of Beauteous Eyes. What started as a fun venture with a special friend in our kitchen – offering makeovers, basic hairstyling, and photography – quickly became a weekend sensation. We had so much fun and were overwhelmed by the response. Eventually, I convinced my husband to help me transform our garage into a beauty salon. Though initially hesitant, he agreed, and in 2016, we began our journey to create something truly special.

We initially focused on mini makeovers, while my friend continued working as a mobile hairstylist. Before long, she joined the salon full-time, and we never anticipated how rewarding this journey would become. We’ve since expanded to include hair, makeup, nails, weddings, workshops, and most importantly, empowering women by helping them rediscover their confidence.

Before COVID, my daughter decided she wanted to pursue a career in the beauty industry. I tried everything to talk her out of it, believing the industry was oversaturated, and suggested she study law instead to become an attorney. After COVID, though, she was more determined than ever that beauty was her future. She did all the necessary research and training to become a qualified Brow Specialist, specialising in Elite brows and colour correction (PMU), Lash Extensions, Facials, makeup, hairstyling, Brazilian blow-outs, and more.

When the day came for my friend to spread her wings and open her own salon, I was heartbroken. I honestly thought my salon might close soon after. But at that moment, my daughter stepped up and helped me find my way. She saved me from drowning and encouraged me to become the best version of myself. Yes, my 21-year-old daughter convinced me to believe in myself again. I never imagined it would turn out like this. We are incredibly grateful for every client that walks through our doors, whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular. Our dream is to one day have a larger salon with more treatment options.

During this time, we were also joined by a talented nail technician facing personal challenges. We gave her an opportunity to join our team, and in a short time, she became a valued part of our family, creating the most beautiful nails I’ve ever seen. She’s creative, passionate, and so skilled. As seasons change and people grow, she eventually felt strong enough to open her own salon.

While it’s always bittersweet when people move on, we believe in supporting growth and embracing new opportunities. When we started looking for a new nail technician to replace her, Bronwyn came to me one day and said, “You’ll have to start doing nails for our clients; there’s such a high demand.” At first, I was hesitant and, as usual, doubted myself. But in the end, I realised if you set your mind to something, you can achieve it. So, I began the necessary training, and soon enough, we’ll offer nail services to our clients again!
