Just a reminder of policies ☺️
We have had a spate of cancellations and no shows of late and we fully understand that with the cost of living everybody is feeling the pinch.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you can’t make your appointment. We’re not monsters. We do understand that life can throw curveballs but letting us know last minute or not showing up means we have no option but to charge you for your appointment as we have not been given the time to be able to fill it.
We always try to be as accommodating as possible with the appointment times we are able to offer.
A huge thank you to everybody who supports us and our bubble of craziness. We always look forward to meeting new and returning faces ❤️

Don’t leave it until it’s too late before discussing perimenopause or menopause symptoms with your healthcare professional or GP. If you’re not getting the help you need or being told it’s depression, getting older or just to accept it because you are getting older. These are not acceptable responses!
If you feel like something isn’t right, have brain fog, memory issues, are feeling emotional, exhausted or just have no interest in things you enjoyed before, these could all be signs that you are perimenopausal or menopausal and may benefit from blood tests or a diagnosis made on your symptoms. These services are available in clinic if you feel they would help you feel free to ask any questions.

First come first served ☺️

Why Salicylic Acid Deserves a Spot in Your Skincare Routine!
If you struggle with breakouts, blackheads, or dull, uneven skin — salicylic acid might just be your new best friend.
What it does:
• Unclogs pores by gently exfoliating inside them — tackling the cause of blackheads and breakouts.
• Smooths texture for clearer, more refined skin.
• Reduces oiliness without over-drying, keeping your complexion balanced.
• Calms inflammation, making it ideal for acne-prone or congested skin.
Whether you’re using a cleanser, toner, or serum, consistent use of salicylic acid helps keep skin looking fresh, smooth, and radiant.
Pro tip: Always start slowly and use SPF daily — salicylic acid can make your skin a little more sensitive to the sun!
✨ Healthy, glowing skin starts with the right ingredients — and salicylic acid is one of the best.

The Benefits of Azelaic Acid in Skincare
Azelaic acid is a multitasking ingredient loved by dermatologists for its gentle yet effective results. Naturally found in grains and produced by our skin’s own microbiome, it’s suitable for almost all skin types — even sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Key Benefits:
• Fights acne: Helps clear pores, reduce bacteria, and calm inflammation.
• Brightens skin: Fades pigmentation and evens out tone, making it great for post-acne marks or melasma.
• Smooths texture: Promotes gentle exfoliation for a more refined, radiant complexion.
• Reduces redness: Especially helpful for rosacea-prone skin thanks to its soothing properties.
It’s a true all-rounder that can be used morning or night, often alongside other actives for added glow and clarity.
✨ Consistency is key — clearer, brighter skin develops over time!

Wedding ready brows by Sophie 😍
Roxy opted for our HD brow sculpt and lamination to allow her to give the illusion of a fuller brow.
We call this a corrective lamination, Roxy has thin, sparse brows but with the lamination process it essentially chemically straightens the hairs which then allows us to be able to style them to create the illusion.
We always talk you through the process and show you the best way to style them to create your desired effect upon completion ☺️
