Idle's House of Beauty shortlisted in T&A salon awards

The House of Beauty, found on Town Lane in Idle, has been part of the community for more than a decade.

The beauty salon is now run by Evie Marie Jepson, who has worked her way up from being an apprentice.

When the previous owner, Joanne, wanted to work less hours, she gave Evie first refusal and asked if she would like to take over.

It is a journey that many of her clients have witnessed and been a part of.

Evie said: “She gave me first refusal and because I’d been there so long it was always going to be my next step to go out on my own.

“I like the socialising and everyone sort of leaves feeling a little better and happier. It’s like a therapy session for everybody. Everybody leaves just feeling a bit lighter. Just sat getting your nails done, chatting, you don’t realise how much of a difference it makes. It’s just nice especially at the minute, people have got a lot of worries.

The House of Beauty has been shortlisted for the T&A’s Best Beauty Salon Awards.

Treatments include beauty, nails, tanning, massage, eyelash extensions and more. The salon’s hair stylists - who have more than 50 years of experience between them - offer a variety of services including colouring, cutting, pin-ups and wedding hair.

“You don’t always know how you’re doing, you just carry on.”

Evie is a level two and three qualified beauty therapist who is experienced in semi-permanent lash extensions, nail enhancements, dermaplaning, lash lifting and many other aspects of nails and beauty. 

Other team members include Aimee, a level two qualified apprentice who is getting great feedback on her massages.

Hair stylists Tracy and Angi like to keep up-to-date with “ever-changing trends and fashions” and specialise in wedding hair.

Tracy loves colouring, foiling and restyling. She previously ran a successful business in Baildon for 19 years.
