Lauren Eaton
“Making people feel good is at the heart of what I do.”
Lauren has been part of the nook since 2021, initially offering brow and lash styling services alongside natural makeup. Her passion soon evolved into more holistic offerings as she began her journey with Weleda and trained as a Holistic Esthetician. It was during this time that the nook Retreat was born - a quieter, more intentional space created to support this next step in her practice.
In a fast-paced world where personal needs are often overlooked, Lauren believes that self-care and well-being are essential components of a balanced life. She is dedicated to creating personalised experiences tailored to each client. Whether it be a facial, a relaxing eyebrow or eyelash appointment, or a bespoke makeup lesson, her aim is to make each session a mini retreat - a space where clients can relax, unwind, and leave feeling their best.
