'I want people to know that it is a safe, welcoming place'

Created by Madison Holloway, Starlie Studios is a business that specialises in lash and brow artistry and hair services. Madison recently announced that she will be opening her second site at an address just off Seabourne Road in Southbourne. Opening early this May, the second Starlie Studios site will see the introduction of more services.

At the new site, there will be permanent person supplying hair extensions, new nail services and blow-drys on offer. Madison said: "We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make this space something really special. "Whether it’s lashes, brows, or a fresh blow dry, our goal is to make every client feel beautiful, confident and pampered.



" Before the creation of Starlie Studios Madison worked in banking, which she describes as 'such a difference'. She added that she 'always wanted to do beauty', so she did a course and it 'spiralled' from there. She said: "It's been an absolutely wild journey, but it has been so much fun and I'm so grateful that it's gone that way.

" Madison stated that she's 'beyond excited' to be opening a salon in the area. She said: "I'm from Southbourne, I've always loved Southbourne. "I've always had my heart set on Southbourne, it just didn't work out before now.

" Madison stated that the opening of the Southbourne salon comes after the success of her first salon located in Bournemouth town centre, which opened earlier this year. The main goal for Madison was to create a 'safe ' and 'welcoming environment' where clients can relax. She said: "The motivation that I have behind Starlie Studios is making it more of a safe, comfortable space for people of any age, old and young.

"Anyone can just come in, sit down and actually relax." She added that sometimes it can be daunting walking into a beauty salon, but this isn't the case with her site. Madison added: "I want people to come in and not feel that anxiety of walking in and not knowing what to expect.

"It's always been a goal of mine to make it like that, I want people to know that it is a safe, welcoming place." The second site is set to officially open on May 5 and is located in Cromwell Place, just off Seabourne Road..
