/X[H 3DFLƉTXH A new hair and beauty supply store has opened in Byron Bay. Byron born beauty therapist Lauren Beaumont and engineer husband Petrus have returned after living in Europe, to support hairdressers and beauty therapists in the Northern Rivers.
Doors open at 5pm for drinks and refreshments in the courtyard, showtime is 6pm sharp! Get your tickets and pre order your wine and cheese platters at www.sprung.org.au. This event is supported by a qualified Auslan interpreter.
They are starting a training facility and education hub so professionals in the area can have a world class training facility, attached to the products they endorse. They'll offer workshops, make-up tutorials, nail tech education, hairdressing refresher courses, and beauty modules.
‘The significance of this project, from a community and visitor perspective, will be felt for generations to come. Reinvigorating the disused corridor for all to use, whilst ensuring it remains in public ownership, is a huge win,’ says Vice President Cameron Arnold.

Eight years ago, a not-for-profit community group, the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, came together with a vision to preserve 130km of neglected rail corridor between Murwillumbah and Casino, and convert it to a car-free pedestrian connection through the region’s spectacular landscapes. Now on the precipice of fruition, from unwavering dedication, and fueled by funding coming from all levels of government such as State, Commonwealth, regional and tourism development, a very healthy 56km is now fully funded with completion slated for 2022.
All of the products Luxe Pacifique sell are from ethical and sustainable companies with strong environmental views, cruelty free and vegan where possible.
