2019 feature: In August 2026, owner Debbie Kirk announced that Serenity would close, with 3 October 2026 intended as its last day at the Lee Wood Hotel.
When Debbie Kirk first set her sights on running her own beauty salon, her vision for the salon was not only to offer traditional beauty treatments, she also wanted to offer indulgent spa like treatments and holistic therapies.
Holistic approach to improve well-being
Having worked as a beauty therapist since 2001 including working a year in Australia, Debbie wanted to create something different for the beauty salon experience. “When I opened the salon in 2012, I was keen to create a relaxing space where my clients can escape from the pressures and tensions of everyday life.”
In the 2019 interview, Debbie spoke about the pressures of busy lives and the value she placed on making time for relaxation.
At the time of this feature, Serenity was based at the Lee Wood Hotel in Buxton.
In 2019 Debbie described the salon’s beauty treatments, including manicures, pedicures, waxing, make-up and facials.
Make-up for special occasions
In 2019, Debbie used Mii Cosmetics and offered make-up lessons and services for special occasions.
For her skincare range, Debbie chose Sothys Paris after discovering it in Australia. The salon also used Lycon, Jessica, GELeration and Mii products.
