Chic Beauty

What Chic Beauty does

Chic Beauty Newport operates a single-location beauty salon at 1A Caerau Road in Newport, South Wales, United Kingdom. Founded around 2007 and operating for over seven years as of April 2014, the business is owner-operated by Hannah with support from named therapists Sara and Megan, whose collective beauty-industry experience exceeds 30 years. The salon's service portfolio spans CACI non-surgical micro-current facials, Dermalogica facials and body treatments, CND Shellac and Jessica nail services, aromatherapy and hot stone massage, electrolysis and waxing, organic spray tanning, eye and ear treatments, and professional bridal makeup, organized across themed menu pages on a WordPress.com-hosted website plus a Facebook page (chicbeauty.newport).

The core technology in use consists of professional branded treatment equipment and consumables from Dermalogica, Jessica, CND Shellac, Supercover, and CACI; the salon runs no proprietary software, mobile app, customer-facing booking platform, payment API, or third-party integrations. Treatment pricing ranges from £6.50 to £60 per service, with bundled packages including Chic Bride (£110) and Totally Chic (£75), and weekly promotional discounts such as #MONDAYMADNESS (half-price single treatments on Mondays); bookings are taken by phone (01633 214088) or walk-in.

Revenue is generated entirely on a direct-to-consumer, pay-per-service basis — no subscriptions, memberships, or recurring contracts are disclosed. The addressable customer base is segmented into general beauty consumers (primary), brides seeking wedding-day packages, and mature clients pursuing Dermalogica anti-aging skincare treatments. The firmographic employee range is 11–50, although source material documents only three named therapeutic staff plus implicit reception/owner support.
