Had my Eyebrow's shaped and nails expertly trimmed and painted by Lucy this week. My nails will look nice for the next 3 weeks which is worth every penny. Always great service at this friendly local beauty salon. Highly recommend this place. More...

Avoid the laser treatment here! They shave your face (area I had mine on) with a plastic BIC razor to ‘smooth the area’ before the ineffective laser treatment! Spent literally thousands on electrolysis over the last few years to get me back to square one. Avoid avoid avoid! More...

What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job is putting a smile on my clients faces. I LOVE being part of so many special occasions and so many wedding mornings.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I’ve always been creative and have loved makeup and wanted to turn my passion into a career. Ive been to Masterclasses and the biggest achievement for me so far was going to one in New York where it was with Mario Dedivanovic and he's the person that really got me wanting to get into this career and inspired me.
Why should our clients choose you?
I’ve done over 250 weddings! All with positive reviews on my hitched account and website! I’m a very calm person and am super organised! I like to really get to know my clients so we both feel super comfortable!
Bridal makeup
Wanting to feel your absolute best on your wedding day? Then im here to make that happen! Can glam big groups too!
Prom makeup
I offer prom makeup which can be styled to fit your needs.
Mini Masterclasses
Wanting to learn how to do your make-up like a Make-up Artist? Well it doesn't matter if you have skills already or none at all I'm happy to teach everything makeup related. If you only wanted to know more about a certain technique or area then I'm happy to teach you whatever you'd want to know as i can adapt it to fit you. I can do Masterclasses 1 to 1 or in groups. Also able to travel to locations aswell as having a studio in Beauty Matters.
Occasion makeup
Fancy having your makeup done for any occasion other than bridal then this service is for you.
