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?
I love how my passion for makeup and travel becomes one. I also enjoy showing my creative side and skills through my work. However the main reason is to be able to put a smile on my clients faces on their special day. Ive also learnt a lot from others in the industry so my skills are a mixture of tips and tricks Ive learnt on my journey to get to where i am now.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My Parents started their own beauty Salon and i just grew up around seeing them enjoy running a business and making their dreams a reality. 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. My goal is to be working for television and film. i wanted to become freelance so i can scheduled my work life around other commitments and be able to be more flexible and able to help my clients arrange to book me for their big day.
Why should our clients choose you?
I would say I'm a very up to date Make-up Artist therefore i know the trends and what's popular now a days. However with my qualification I've also learnt era makeup and so i fit a variety of different clients. I like to make my clients feel relaxed and comfortable with my services. I also like to stress the importance of a trial as i want them to know what they exactly want for their wedding day and any ideas they wish to share. Id rather someone have too many trials then not enough. Also if anything wanted changing from the trials for the actually day then im very much happy to give you another one if not then shout up on the first one and I'll easily sort it to how you'd like it.

Also able to travel to locations aswell as having a studio in Beauty Matters.
