I am a professional, freelance hair & makeup artist based in Glasgow, specialising in Special Effects, TV & Film, Editorial & Bridal.
I am also trained in eyebrow waxing, tinting & brow lamination. Brow lamination is taking the beauty industry by storm - thick fluffy brows which last 6 - 8 weeks.
I am available to travel all over Scotland & throughout the UK.
I have attended The Academy of Makeup in Glasgow, Love Hair Co in Reigate Surrey, KMD Education in Glasgow, The Scottish Beauty Expert Training Academy in Glasgow & Creative Media Skills based at Pinewood Studios London & I have been lucky enough to have been taught by industry professionals Ashley Powell, Sara Hill, Kat Stewart, Sophie Edwards, Kimberley Dewar, Jo Irving & Karen McDougall.
My hair & makeup kit is completely cruelty free/vegan & eco friendly.

Hair.

Occasion.
Do you have a special occasion coming up? Not confident in applying makeup? Why not take the stress out of getting ready. Everyone loves to be pampered. Party makeup is £50.
Beauty.
Brow lamination lifts the hairs from the root & sets them in place meaning the brows appear thicker, fluffier & always stay in place. Results last up to 8 weeks. Please note a patch test must be done 24/48 hours prior to your appointment.
