The venue provides a tanning salon and nail technicians, and offers cosmetic services such as facial, eyebrows, and lips services.

Speaking about the business, Lindsey's partner Simon said: "The idea came about after the shop became available and we thought we would give it a go and create something new and create new jobs for the people of St Helens.

"We have invested quite a bit of money in getting this right and we think it will be a really good addition to the area, as there isn't this kind of offering in the immediate area.
