UNDER THE

SPOTLIGHT

Brook Street is perfect for the ambience she was hoping for. It’s close enough to the centre of town, yet far enough from the hustle and bustle to be a haven of quiet once you open the door. This is just as Kerri likes it, as she wants the salon to be a relaxing, welcoming space for clients. Kerri offers a huge selection of treatments, with nails, brows, lashes & aesthetics being the most popular choices for her clients. With so many people becoming more ‘skin aware’ & taking steps to care for their skin, her facials are also popular. When asked what she likes best about her job, Kerri said that many of her clients have become friends over time and she loves getting to spend time with them,

KERRI LOUISE AESTHETICS

Although the salon only opened a year ago on Brook Street in Ashby, Kerri Louise Aesthetics first started 10 years ago and in fact, Kerri has been working in and around Ashby for 5 years. The salon location on Brook Street is perfect for the ambience she was hoping for. It’s close enough to the centre of town, yet

that many of her clients have become friends over time and she loves getting to spend time with them, discussing her children and the goings-on in their lives. Kerri is always happy to welcome new clients, so why not book in for a bit of a pamper soon? You can find her on Facebook by searching for @KVBEAU.

FREESISTA VINTAGE

Freesista Vintage, was started by owner Amber alongside studying at university back in 2016 & she opened the shop on Mill Lane Mews a little over a year ago. When asked how

she would describe the shop to someone who had never visited, the first word Amber said was ‘colourful’ & the inside of the shop is a treasure trove, bursting with colour & pattern everywhere you look! There is also a relaxed vibe & browsing is absolutely encouraged, so you can take your time to find that special item to really make your day!

Amber loves the creativity offered by owning the shop & she carefully selects every piece to keep the collection of items fresh. She does also buy items in good condition & anything over 20 years old is considered vintage (which made us in the office feel quite old...). In terms of her top selling items, the selection of graphic sweatshirts & t-shirts stocked

upstairs are always good sellers, along with the blouses stocked downstairs. It’s the people that Amber enjoys most about owning the shop & the interactions with people from so many different walks of life. She is also proud of the fact that she is giving the items in her collection another chance to be loved, which feels very refreshing in a world that can so often be about ‘fast fashion’.
