Meet the Team
I started my professional makeup journey in 2004 after joining Richard Bransons' skincare and cosmetics company Virgin Vie. I had a passion for all things makeup and before social media took off this was a great way for me to learn the basics of skincare and cosmetics.
I quickly grew my customer base and commonly got asked if I did bridal makeup so saw a niche in the market and trained with the company to do bridal makeup and haven't looked back since.
My hair career first started in1995 when I started a local apprenticeship at Joanne's Creative Hair Design.
I have had various roles within local hair salons in Bournemouth, Ringwood and Westbourne expanding my knowledge by attending workshops at TONI&GUY and Wella in London. After having my daughter in 2008 I focussed my skills on my main passion which is wedding hair.
