About Me

Hello and welcome to my website!

My name is Olivia, but you can call me Liv.

I started my business fresh out of university after studying fashion. The fashion studio was next to the make-up studio at Bournemouth Arts University and I always found myself wandering in there to look at all the special FX work they were doing. After graduating and not feeling a career in fashion anymore I discovered that the university were offering evening courses in make-up. They had a teacher who came in to talk to us all about being a Bridal Make-up artist. I had found my calling! (This was in 2015 - a decade ago!)

I finished my make-up evening course but there wasn’t a qualification at the end and it didn’t go over the hygiene or medical backgrounds clients could have so I enrolled on my Level 2 Beauty Therapy qualification and here I learnt facials, manicures, pedicures, make-up application, waxing and eyebrow tinting. I didn’t enjoy doing nails but I still offer everything else to this day! Since then I’ve expanded into lash extensions, brow lamination and lash lifts.

Bridal Make-up has been my speciality for the last ten years and most of my weekends have been spent at beautiful wedding venues. I have two adorable kids who are both finally at school so the in-salon treatments I’ve only been doing full time for the last 3 years.

I am also married myself, I got married at The Italian Villa in 2022, so this massively helps with me knowing what its like to be a bride and plan a wedding. It was lovely getting to know my bridal clients but I absolutely love how most of my lash clients in the salon become good friends! I love seeing clients regularly and getting to know you all.

I absolutely love doing lashes, after having so many years under my belt of working against time pressures and having to be good but equally as fast in my work - I took to lashes like a duck to water! I love creating all different styles of lashes and tailoring each set to the person. Whether that be their eye shape, overall look, job or beauty budget! I love the lash lifts are also there for the more natural, low maintenance look. And I don’t mean to toot my own horn but I am incredible at brows. My super talent.

I pride myself in offering a professional, friendly service from start to finish. I’m organised, understanding and welcoming. I love making my clients feel their very best and meeting new people!

I'm super easy to talk to and have such a laugh with all my clients. I’m really understanding and down to earth - if you’ve had a bad day and don’t want to chat during your lashes I totally get it, equally if you want cheering up I’m here to make you smile.

I’m super organised and like to think I have a seamless booking process.

To book bridal make-up

I have a brand new fancy quote calculator on my website to cut out all the e-mailing back and forth. If you’re happy with the quote, fill in an enquiry form and if I am free you’ll be sent the details on the deposit and payment details.

The best bit…

You will then receive your online bridal guide written by me with all my tips and tricks that I’ve learnt over the last 10 years doing Bridal Make-up. Every bride that reads this LOVES it! You will then use my easy booking system to book yourself in a bridal trial, and when we meet here we go over every tiny detail of your wedding. I will ensure I have the correct location on my Google Maps to follow, know where to park my car, if there’s a ticket machine and how long it will take me to get there and usually add 45 minutes and sit in my car mega early as I hate being late! It couldn’t be easier.

To book an appointment in the salon

Simply just click here and find an appointment. If you don’t know what to book just drop me a text or call me (07538824621)

The salon is a child free zone so please don’t bring your kids! I have tweezers, hot wax, chemicals, glues and expensive make-up. I am also by a main road and you’ll have your eyes closed so you do the math! I am only offering female only services at this present time but I’ll be sure to announce if I go into male grooming services.
