A LOCAL businesswoman and busy mum is gearing up for her tenth year in the beauty industry.

Louise Mullan, 32, worked at Bliss Beauty when she qualified and then set up on her own at home.

She then moved into Beauty By Louise in a small shop in Grey Place, before moving to a larger premises in the same street between the two spells of Covid.

The busy mum-of-one, who is expecting her second child, says she thinks it great that more women are working for themselves.

Lousie said: "It's the best thing I've ever done. It's more flexible when you run your own business, especially when you are juggling childcare.

"Tonight I'm working to 10pm."

Louise works with Alex Derrick, who has been a great support to her and is now offering other people starting out or with their own client base, an opportunity to set up on their own.

Louise has ample room to rent on a monthly basis, as well as a nail bar, beauty room and make up/lashes/hairdressing station up for grabs.

Her premises also boasts a tanning room and staff room.

Louise lives in Gourock with husband Stephen and ten-month-old son Rhys.

She said: "It's a good opportunity for someone, it's a good location, it's a busy street and lots of parking nearby.

"I am so busy. I am fully booked. So there would be a spill out effect for make-up artists, lash technicians and hairdressers to help clients that I can't take.

"My clients are more like friends. I look forward to seeing them.

"You've got to be a people person working in this business and enjoy working with the public."
