Her work

Themed sets are where she actually shows off.

Everything here came off her own hands in the studio. Hand-painted, hand-placed, no stickers and no transfers.

The week

Open seven days, and closed for the school run.

Every weekday has a gap in the middle of it. That gap is not a break, it is two children being collected. The rest of the week is built around it, which is why there is a nine o'clock slot before work and a seven o'clock one after it.

Most of the women in this chair are doing the same run. It is the reason the studio opens on a Sunday afternoon.

Train with me

I will teach you to do this properly.

There are a lot of two-day courses that hand out a certificate and leave you unable to build an apex. I would rather take fewer people and have them leave able to work.

One or two students at a time, in this studio, on live models, using the same liquid and powder I put on paying clients every day.

I run this studio on my own, around two children and a school run, which is the same shape as most of my clients' weeks. It is why I open at nine and finish at seven, and why Sunday afternoon is a normal working slot rather than a favour.

The studio is at the back of my house in Stevenage. It is quiet, it is clean, and there is nobody else in the room. Some people talk the whole way through. Some fall asleep. Both are fine.

I also make my own acrylic range, because I got tired of buying products that let me down.

Booking

There is one chair, so the good slots go first.

Evenings and Saturday mornings fill the fastest. For a long appointment, give it a week or two of notice.
