Sensory & Inclusivity Ethos
Beauty is for everyone - and you belong here.
At The Astral Lounge, we believe beauty should never feel overwhelming - it should feel calm, safe and empowering. Our salon is designed with sensory awareness and inclusivity at its heart, so every guest can fully relax and enjoy their experience - regardless of neurotype, anxiety level or sensory sensitivities.
-
When booking, you’ll see an optional sensory section where you can share your:
• Music preferences (quiet / gentle playlist / silent)
• Communication style (chatty / minimal / non-verbal)
• Any other needs that help you feel comfortable.
-
If you prefer a peaceful, low-stimulation experience, you can choose a silent appointment when booking.
We’ll greet you, check any preferences, then work quietly - no small talk, no pressure.
-
• Fidget toys, sensory squishes and weighted blanket available
• Quiet mode/ okay to talk cards
• Noise cancelling headphones available
• Soft blanket for comfort
-
You’ll always know what to expect:
• Step by step & explanations why if you’d like
• Visual guide of the salon space (available on our website and socials)
-
We are continuously learning to be as inclusive as possible.
If you are neurodivergent, anxious or have sensory needs, please feel safe to let us know.
There is no judgement - only understanding.
