Beauty startup moves into Lingfield Point

The Cosmetics Room, a newly launched beauty clinic, is the latest business to take up space at Lingfield Point in Darlington.

Based at the recently regenerated Beehive, owner Dawn O’Neill believes the business park is the ideal setting for her new venture.

Dawn’s offering includes everything from permanent makeup and tattoo removal to wrinkle relaxing injections, vampire facials and skin peels.

She works alongside Jennie Smith who specialises in cosmetic and beauty therapies such as make-up, HD brows, nails, contouring and spray tans.

Dawn said: “I wanted to train in permanent make-up and paramedical tattooing after reading about people who needed help after chemotherapy or surgery - it literally changed their lives – but I couldn’t afford it initially.

“Then I was made redundant and was able to use my redundancy to train - I believe in fate it was meant to be. Now I’ve been in business for five years and have worked freelance all over the North East but I was tired of the travelling and wanted my own base.

“I chose Lingfield Point as I have clients travelling for three hours for treatments, so my priority was easy access from the A1, A19 and train station and bus service, with free car parking.

“I also hoped that having Jennie as a beautician would provide a service to the people working at Lingfield Point and surrounding businesses.”

Estate Manager Eddie Humphries said: “It is always great to welcome new businesses to the neighbourhood.

“The Cosmetics Room will add more colour to our exceptional facilities such as on site bus service, a café bistro, child care nursery, book swap club and our busy calendar of activities.”
