Meet the Team

Leah Lynch

Hi! I’m Leah Lynch, a proud Newburyport local and the founder of Beautique.

I started Beautique with a simple dream: to create a cozy, welcoming space where fun, talented professionals could deliver high-level beauty services to discerning clients—without the pressure of a stuffy or clinical environment. The number one thing we hear from clients (besides how skilled our team is!) is how comfortable and at home they feel in our clean and inviting space.

Beautique has been honored with dozens of industry awards, making us one of the most highly award winning salon and spa in the area! We have SIX Best of the North Shore awards, a Best of Boston, Best of Newburyport, been featured in magazines and on TV, and recognized internationally—especially for our top-notch lash extension services.

As the founder of my own Lash Training Academy, I bring advanced education and hands-on expertise to Beautique. This allows me to train my team at a level most salons simply can’t offer—something that truly sets us apart.

I’m endlessly grateful for the incredible team here at Beautique and for each and every client who walks through our doors. Come see what makes us an award winning salon and spa! 

Check out our reviews on Google and our Home Page, and follow us on Instagram to see our latest work.
Thank you for supporting my dream!

With love,
Leah
