Personal and intimate

A home salon setting that clients say beats the traditional salon experience.

Shift workers welcome

Michelle has fitted clients in straight after a night shift.

Kind words

“I’m a lifer.

I have been going to Shell's Beauty Temple now for approximately 1 year for lash extensions, I was considered unlashable as I have very fine short lashes, Shell has managed to produce amazing lashes every time for me and I feel sooooo much better about myself and my eyes, i feel sexy. I have also had pedicures, brow lamination and tint, facial. The service provided by Shell is second to none. A warm, cosy professional salon, the most comfiest salon bed to lie on and Shell plays whatever music you like whilst having your service done. I am a shift worker and Shell has even fitted me in after a night shift, Shell lashed, I slept haha. If you want a personalised service done by a beautiful lady inside and out go to Shell's Beauty Temple. I'm a lifer. 🥰🥰🥰

I absolutely love my lashes and laminated brows! Michelle did an amazing job, and the results exceeded my expectations. She is professional, friendly, and has such an eye for detail. My brows look beautifully shaped, and my lashes are stunning without looking overdone. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for gorgeous, natural-looking results. I'll definitely be back!

Highly recommend!!! I've never had a brow lamination before or a Korean lash lift and felt so safe, validated and listened too, I got what I wanted, especially the more natural side, and love the results. I much prefer the personal and intimate setting with Shell, who goes out of her way to accommodate you.

I have been a regular client of Michelle for over 6 months now - that in it's self says a lot - such a lovely person that reflects her deep passion for beauty to all her clients - we all come out looking and feeling fantastic! It's such a personal experience to be invited into her home beats the traditional salon experience

Shell has been amazing! I have had both lash lift and tints as well as lash extensions done by her and have never been disappointed. For someone that works shift work and weird hours she has always made herself available and been very welcoming. After her services I no longer need to wear mascara and she's introduced me to brow lamination and I couldn't be any happier with the results. I would highly recommend if anyone is looking for a high quality lash tech in Ballarat she's the one to see!

Michelle is not only incredibly talented at what she does, but she's also such a lovely person. My lashes have never looked better, and I always leave feeling pampered and so relaxed. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for flawless lashes and amazing customer care!
