New beauty business keeping lashes long, and skin golden brown Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Mountain towns like Golden have got the outdoor adventure game all taken care of, but you mustn't forget about beauty. At least that's what the owner of the new business Mountain Beauty by Leigh believes. Leigh Roberts opened up her studio, located in the same building as Eleven22, in late 2015. Her services include eyelash extensions, eyelash lift and tint, eyebrow shape tint and wax, and spray tans. "A couple years ago I started to think about getting into this and opening my own business," said Roberts. "And I love getting my eyelashes done." She started pursuing courses and certifications in Kelowna and Edmonton, and decided to set up shop in October, opting for a professional location instead of a home-based business, which you can often see with beauty services. "It's been going really great so far," said Roberts. "The lift and tint is the most popular, and it's a really great way to enhance your own eyelashes. It's my favourite." Although she enjoys making the most out of people's lashes, Roberts is also passionate about another of her services, one that offers a safer and healthier alternative. "I've recently started getting sunspots, and that made me really aware of the potential damage that the sun, and tanning beds, can do to you skin," she said. "The spray tan gives you such a nice even tan, without harming your skin. It's a great option." At the moment Roberts is a one-woman show, so she's offering services by appointment only. However she is very flexible, and willing to work around her clients' schedules whenever possible.
