IN THIS TOGETHER
NEW SOUTH WALES
The Beauty Room
The town of Warren, in New South Wales’ Central West, sits on the Macquarie River and services many of the surrounding wool, cotton, sheep, cattle and broadacre farms. While crippling drought has affected the area in recent years, The Beauty Room has been providing locals with welcome distraction when they need it. Laura Noonan describes her shop, opened in 2012, as a “fresh modern space, providing women with a place to meet and enjoy beauty and retail therapy”. The restored building boasts high ceilings, pure white walls, polished timber and concrete floors. Laura offers waxing, tinting and spray tanning, along with a colourful range of clothing, accessories, homewares and baby products. She admits bags and wallets are her weakness — there’s a stylish option to suit everyone, be it in leather or neoprene. And as if we needed an excuse, it’s great to support our rural communities in tough times, so if you’re not nearby you can shop from home via @thebeautyroomwarren’s Instagram page. 132 Dubbo Street, Warren, 0409 913 137, facebook.com.au/ thebeautyroomwarren
