Humble Beginnings

In the middle of Melbourne’s lockdown during Covid-19, Makeup & Beauty Lounge was born in a small home salon on Military Road, Avondale Heights. What began as a spare bedroom transformation quickly grew into a thriving beauty business. Our founder, Emily Whiteway, has always had a strong passion for beauty and an incredible attention to detail — qualities that have shaped our journey from the very beginning.

Meet Emily – Our Founder

Growing up in Moonee Ponds, Emily began her beauty career at just 15 years old. She trained under some of the best industry leaders before taking a leap of faith to create her own business. With over 10 years of experience, Emily has become a well-known name in Melbourne’s beauty industry, admired for both her expertise and her genuine care for clients.

The Big Move to Moonee Ponds

After two amazing years in her home salon, the business had outgrown its space. Emily searched high and low for the perfect location that would be both welcoming and accessible for her clients. She found it at 276 Union Road, Moonee Ponds. With the help of her family, what was once an office and butcher shop was transformed into the luxurious beauty salon our clients love today.
