Why The Lab Retreat at Kersey Mill is Suffolk’s Destination for Lashes & Brows

A Hidden Gem in Suffolk’s Countryside

Nestled in the picturesque grounds of Kersey Mill, just outside Ipswich in Suffolk, lies The Lab Retreat — a private beauty studio specialising in bespoke lash extensions, brow treatments, and accredited training courses.

Away from the hustle and bustle of busy high streets, The Lab Retreat offers a unique blend of expertise, relaxation, and results. Whether you’re booking a lash lift, HD brows, or enrolling in a lash training course, this boutique retreat has become Suffolk’s go-to destination for beauty lovers and aspiring professionals alike.

A Private Studio Experience

Unlike traditional high-street salons, The Lab Retreat is a private studio, which means your treatment time is entirely focused on you.

• One-to-one appointments – no waiting areas or distractions.

• Relaxing environment – surrounded by Suffolk countryside in the beautiful setting of Kersey Mill.

• Personalised service – every lash or brow treatment is custom-designed to suit your face shape, lifestyle, and preferences.

Clients often describe their visits as a chance to switch off, recharge, and leave looking and feeling incredible.

Expertise You Can Trust

The Lab Retreat was founded by Hils, a lash and brow artist with over 4 years of hands-on beauty experience and 35+ years as a qualified coach and trainer.

What sets Hils apart is her commitment to delivering bespoke treatments — nothing is “one size fits all.” Every lash length, curl, and style is carefully chosen to flatter your eyes, while brow shaping and colour are tailored to your complexion and features.

And the learning never stops. Through regular masterclasses with leading UK lash and brow specialists, The Lab Retreat stays ahead of industry trends to bring Suffolk clients the latest beauty techniques.
