Starting your own business is terrifying. Starting it in beauty — an industry where trust is everything — is even more so. But here I am, with a salon I'm proud of, clients I adore, and a 5.0 rating that makes every early morning and late night worth it.
Where It Started
I've always been drawn to beauty — not just the technical side, but the way it makes people feel. There's something powerful about helping someone see themselves at their best. That feeling is what pushed me to train, qualify, and eventually take the leap into running my own space.
Why Byron Street
I wanted somewhere that felt like a home, not a high-street chain. Byron Street in Loughborough gave me exactly that — a quiet, residential setting where clients could feel relaxed and private. The moment I saw the space, I knew it was right.
The Challenges
Being a solo salon owner means wearing every hat: therapist, receptionist, social media manager, accountant, cleaner. There are days when it's overwhelming. But the freedom to do things my way — to give every client my undivided attention, to never compromise on quality — makes it all worthwhile.
What Lumora Belle Means to Me
Lumora Belle isn't just a business name. It represents light and beauty — the two things I want every client to feel when they leave. Light in their mood, beauty in their confidence.
“I built this salon for every person who's ever felt rushed, overlooked, or like just another appointment. At Lumora Belle, you're the only client in the room — because you are.
— Yasmin
Looking Forward
79 five-star reviews later, I'm still just as passionate as day one. I'm always expanding my skills, training in new techniques, and looking for ways to give my clients even more. This is just the beginning.
Thank you for being part of the Lumora Belle story. Whether you've been coming since day one or you're reading this before your first visit — I'm grateful, and I can't wait to welcome you.
