Our Beauty Box Family

Entrepreneurship tends to attract people with unique minds and strong personalities. Sometimes it’s just an individual following their passion and making dreams reality.

Once upon a time the Beauty Box by Mollie story began. Take a seat, make yourself comfy and we will start to tell you a little about it.

Born in 1999 in Nottingham, little Mollie Mae arrived ready to take on the world and embrace the new Millennium with force and gusto. At the tender age of 4 she moved to France with her family starting the exciting adventure of being an expatriate, finding and forging her life. Not knowing the language, the culture, or where she would call home, this came with many highs, and an equally similar count of lows. Growing up with a bilingual lifestyle created many opportunities. It came with plenty of hurdles and challenges but one thing throughout this time which never faulted was her love for all things girly. Furthermore, she had a growing interest in make-up and general beauty. This love went from strength to strength organically guiding her to become the best she possibly could be in her chosen career: a beautician and cosmetologist extraordinaire.

From school to college to beauty school, this hungry-to-succeed young girl excelled academically and as a person. She has made a number of trips to the UK, Paris, Asia, America and the Middle East in order to source new techniques, understand culture and products, and to satisfy her insatiable passion for the beauty industry. All this travel and experience at such an impressionable time of her life, did nothing but cement the fact that Mollie had a wish for her own beauty brand and a burning desire to build her own empire. It quickly became evident that this process was not going to be a slow burner. So with fire in her belly, a few sleepless nights, much pacing, many calculations and some sacrifices, Beauty Box by Mollie was born in 2016. Mollies desire to elevate her business to a position of excellence had begun.

The formative years were a mix of weddings and special events, providing a mobile beauty service to the people of the Languedoc and beyond. She clocked up plenty of kilometres in the process. There was so much loading and unloading of all the required equipment, but to quote an old English saying: “From little acorns, great oaks are formed“. As her clientele grew so did her visions for BBBM. A little sidestep was made a year in. Mollie had started trading from a modest, compact and bijou treatment room in our family home, to a huge leap ‘for womankind’ in 2018: her very first salon.

The Salon.

This was where a labour of love happened. It was the realisation of all those dreams from years before. It was a tremendous mixture of emotion and hard work culminating in achievements beyond her wildest dreams. Now she has taken on a new, different level. She has shed the comfort blanket and all the family have come together to create just what was needed. Together we have designed and styled interiors. We built, laughed, cried, all while hiding our anxiousness. We went headfirst into the start-up phase of a small business, acting as though it was not too much of a big deal. But for Mollie, just turning 19, this was a mammoth task. It was exciting but apprehension was apparent. She was embraced by the village and couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome and respected as a much-valued member of the community.

Apprehension soon lifted and doubt quickly diminished once her unique product range grew in popularity. Being vegan-friendly, gluten, and cruelty-free as well as hand-made, the results of this have been breath-taking. The creation of the salon has been a life-enhancing experience and a little piece of paradise. Additionally, the practicality of it being placed in a commercial zone it has easy access. On entry to the salon you will be lifted, forgetting all life’s twists and turns becoming enveloped into a cocoon of powder pink utopia, and divine tranquillity. Sheer opulence mixed with a stunning refined interior, reflect the standards that BBBM ambitiously aims to provide every day. You are welcomed by undertones of heavenly scents and quiet attention-absorbing music. It is a great aid to allow mind-wandering and for you to be immersed into total relaxation.
