Sam was fantastic doing my daughter’s prom make up. She was so friendly, listened well to what she wanted and was able to offer very helpful advice and ideas in a non-judgemental way. So important for a teenager! Gave her lots of time and did a brilliant job - she looked stunning! Would highly recommend Sam!

I felt BEAUTIFUL. Had so many lovely compliments too! Would always recommend Sam for anything make up related. She is an expert at her craft. Incredibly talented and just an all round lovely lady. Thank you for making me flawless and fabulous.

Sam is incredible, I called her in a panic at 08:30 in the morning as the original makeup artist I booked couldn’t attend and I had an event that I needed to get ready for that morning. Sam did all she could to accommodate me and by 11 I was feeling a million dollars. Such a lovely bubbly person who made me feel so comfortable, thank you so much Sam.

From the start of my bridal makeup journey right through to the big day Sam has been absolutely incredible! For someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup she put me at ease during my trial and made me feel confident with the look we were going for! She checked in throughout my journey and even after the wedding day she was excited to see photos! She made me and my bridal party feel amazing and confident on the day and couldn’t have gone any better! Our makeup lasted all day with no need to touch up! Her products and service were amazing! So glad I chose you 🧡 thank you so much xx

I can't recommend Sam highly enough! Thank you so much for yesterday. As always, everyone's makeup was absolutely flawless, and mine felt so light and natural that I genuinely forgot I was even wearing it. I'm not someone who usually does "girly" things or wears much makeup, so I was a little nervous, but Sam completely understood what I wanted. She made me feel like the best version of myself without looking or feeling overdone. I felt comfortable, confident, and still completely like me. Thank you again, Sam you have an incredible talent, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone

Amazing service yet again. Keri is so approachable and overall a genuinely kind person! Would definitely recommend especially to anyone that may feel nervous about getting one of Keri’s services done. Keri makes you feel at ease. During my appointment we had a great catch up which was lovely. Not only great service but the results of my service were amazing. I had a lash lift and tint, couldn’t be happier at all. Wouldn’t go anywhere else other than Keri! 10/10!!

Keri is absolutely amazing. I had a really bad experience three years ago and coming to keri she changed everything. She took away my worry and anxiety and made it a truly wonderful experience.

Keri was absolutely amazing upon arrival. So friendly and chatty which was a bonus. Her home salon/studio is so beautifully done, clean and comfortable.
