CHRISTINE McGuinness has shared glamorous photographs of her emerging from St Helens newest beauty spot, LAUK salon in Rainford.

Last month the Star reported that Catherine Farrell from Windle launched LAUK beauty salon (Lash Artistry UK) in Rainford Village after working in the beauty industry for 15 years and amassing a number of celebrity clients.

As well as being good friends with Tanya Bardsley of Real Housewives of Cheshire fame - and who officially opened the store on April 12 - Catherine is also pals with the likes of Paddy McGuinness' wife Christine.

Sharing the post yesterday via Instagram, Christine McGuinness said: "Raining in Rainford! But I still had the best day @lauk.beauty

"My Fabulous friend and best lash lady has opened up her own place in St Helens @lauk.beauty. They do eyebrows, lashes, nails, waxing, make up...

"Check them out for all your beauty needs! Lockdown is almost over huns!"

The post features four professional photographs outside the salon picturing Christine in a two piece short pink suit and white cami.

Mum-of-two Catherine speaking last month said: "People think I'm crazy to have launched a business, especially a beauty one, in lockdown, but we've used the time to get everything right and make sure everything is as it should be hygiene wise with Covid.

St Helens Star:

Inside the salon

"I'm very fortunate over the years I have built relationships with clients who are celebrities such as some of the Real Housewives, Christine McGuinness and others, I'm very lucky they have been so supportive and hope the community will also back by new business when they have the opportunity to book in with us."

LAUK Beauty Salon is on Church Road, Rainford.
