Our Story

Our Story — Elegance Beauty Lounge

Elegance Beauty Lounge began as Elegance Permanent Beauty Co., founded by licensed esthetician Tyra Lay with a passion for enhancing natural beauty through thoughtful, confidence-building services.

What started as a specialized permanent makeup studio naturally evolved as client trust grew and demand expanded. Over time, Elegance became more — transforming into a full-service beauty lounge where artistry, wellness, and personalized care come together in one refined space.

The Elegance Experience

At Elegance Beauty Lounge, beauty is never one-size-fits-all. We believe in enhancing what already makes each client unique while providing a calm, welcoming environment where comfort and care come first.

Located in Columbus, North Carolina, in the Carolina Foothills, we offer permanent makeup, lash extensions, brow services, nail care, and aesthetic beauty treatments. Every service is thoughtfully tailored to each client’s needs, lifestyle, and long-term beauty goals.

Our team is carefully selected for their expertise, professionalism, and shared commitment to quality. This allows guests to enjoy multiple services in one trusted location while receiving individualized care from skilled specialists.
