Best Makeup Artists near me in Prettygate, Colchester

I don’t usually leave reviews but when it comes to your face, you want to make sure you choose someone you can trust. I cannot recommend Liv highly enough. She is friendly, chatty, honest, professional, knowledgeable and an extremely lovely. I wouldn’t go anywhere else 🙂 Brooke Reid

Went in for a small treatment. Now I'm back for more and loving it! My eyebrows have changed my face. Love them.

My nails were completely transformed and revived. The nail technician takes the time to really do her best each time I visit. Very pleased and would always recommend her. The only slight downside could be that it can take a bit longer than usual to get extensions but this is because again she takes the care and extra effort to make them perfect.

Honestly amazing, can’t thank you enough for giving me that little confidence boost, can’t wait to come back for my top up!

Gigi’s attention to detail is something I’ve never witnessed from a nail salon before. I was surprised by how much she prepped my nails before painting and designing them, but as she rightfully pointed out it is what should be done to ensure the longevity of the nail! I’ve been to “top rated” salons prior to Touch of Elegance and never received this level of service from any of them. Will happily come back as a customer. Thank you!!

Thank you Laura for an excellent visit today. My eyebrows look great already and I have no discomfort at all even though only done three hours ago ! Thank you for the time you took to make sure they were just what I wanted. The aftercare pack is brilliant and covers everything you may want to know, even a much appreciated teabag 😂. I would recommend anyone in later years with thinning eyebrows to visit Laura.

As always a perfect treatment from Tetyana. What a talented and wide range treatment professional and wonderful lady to talk to. I recommend to everyone.

Fantastic service and attention to detail

Amazing tattoos, Laura is so lovely and chatty too, super friendly will defiantly be back 🤍

As always amazing company and beautiful nails. Lovely lady xx

I was recommended to try Botox to help alleviate the symptoms of TMJ and teeth grinding and wasn't able to be seen for a while under an NHS hospital so felt it best to be seen privately. I tried another local person for a quote and they weren't reliable with getting back to me or pricing and appointments so I decided to ask for recommendations on Facebook, at least two/three people recommended The Aesthetic Touch, specifically Liv so I decided to book an appointment and was given a price and quickly booked in to see the medical prescriber. The clinic was friendly, welcoming and clean.

Laura is very friendly. She asks how you’d usually have your brows and will map them out best fit to you. Left very happy 😊

Livs has gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable about getting aesthetic treatment done. She has relieved any anxiety I have had and made me feel excited and reassured in her expertise.

So happy with my valentines nail! Thank you so much! ❤️
