The owner of a women’s clothing shop has called time on her business, saying it has been a “real honour” to serve the community for more than 30 years.

Lisa Milburn started Extreme Beauty & Fashion at the age of 22 in 1992, having previously worked on Accrington Market with her mum.

Located on Water Street, Accrington, Extreme provided fashion at an affordable price for women of all shapes and sizes, with their aim to try and empower women to be as confident as they can.

Extreme was also known for selling brands popular with celebrities, such as Bayliss & Knight, Obi, and Forever Unique.

It was not only clothing where Extreme flourished, also specialising in luxury dermaplaning facials in recent years.

Extreme has also been a big part of the local community over the years, regularly getting involved in special events such as the Christmas light switch-on, the NLTG Halloween Shop Trail and more recently the #AmazingAccrington Winter Writing Trail.

Lisa said: “It has been a real honour to run my business in Accrington town centre for more than three decades.

“During that time I have met so many different people and made friends for life. I would like to say a huge thank you to Aileen, you have been a great friend and help to me along the way.

“I would also like to say a huge thank you to all my customers over the years, and to the fellow local businesses who I have got to know and work alongside.

“I will especially miss working across from Designer Team Hair & Beauty and their owner Andrea Young – Nikki, Gemma, and Susan have been so loyal and supportive for over 30 years.”

Lisa will continue to run her dermaplaning facials and anyone interested and looking to book can message the Extreme Beauty & Fashion Facebook page.
