I’d never go anywhere else now I’ve found Anna 🤩. This pro really knows her stuff and I feel completely at ease and trust her completely. I look forward to my appointments and highly recommend her clinics (Ilkeston and Beeston). Shes a 5 star skincare and aesthetics adviser and practitioner. Just read the reviews ! Says it all 🤷🏻‍♀️

From the start of my bridal makeup journey right through to the big day Sam has been absolutely incredible! For someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup she put me at ease during my trial and made me feel confident with the look we were going for! She checked in throughout my journey and even after the wedding day she was excited to see photos! She made me and my bridal party feel amazing and confident on the day and couldn’t have gone any better! Our makeup lasted all day with no need to touch up! Her products and service were amazing! So glad I chose you 🧡 thank you so much xx

What a wonderful time we had. My granddaughter loved it ... she spent the journey home telling her mother she wasn't doing her make up routine properly! Great learning experience to put a pre-teen on the right track. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.

Sam is amazing. Armed will all my make up and brushes. In my 1-2-1 session Sam walked me through my skin care reigime, foundation, eye make up, blusher, highlighter, lipstick and more besides. Giving tips, advice and excellent guidance on how to apply and some different shades to try. Would definitely recommend. I shall be re-booking in a few months to get some more tips!!

I was extremely happy with the makeup service. Very professional, attentive to detail, and truly focused on understanding exactly what I wanted. The makeup looked beautiful, natural, and lasted perfectly the whole time. Beyond the technical skill, I really appreciated the calm, friendly attitude and the comfortable atmosphere — it makes such a difference. I felt confident and well taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend without hesitation! Thanks Sam XX

I never thought I’d get excited to have needles in my face! I had my second session of microneedling, top up of the aquashine skin booster & my first ever botox session to even out my forehead wrinkles and a cheeky B12 injection today & Anna is a miracle worker - I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my appearance/wellbeing. She is so kind, calm & down to earth, my appointments are always full of the best chats - I’m already looking forward to next month’s treatments! I’m so happy that her business is thriving & she’s getting the love she puts into others! I genuinely wouldn’t go anywhere else x

I’ve been to Anna a few times now, she is friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. Anna also doesn’t give you any false expectations. She is honest and gives the best realistic advice. The salon is beautifully decorated and set out to the highest standards. Anna talks you through your treatment and puts you at ease . You end up chatting away like you have known each other for years. Highly recommended and you will Not be disappointed. All products used are of a high speck. No corners cut whatsoever. Thank you so much Anna for making me feel more confident and more like me again.

Excellent service from start to finish. Anna was warm, welcoming and professional in equal measure. We chatted in detail about my expectations and Anna made suggestions of what we could achieve at today’s appointment. I felt relaxed and in good hands throughout my treatment (a glam package with addition of anti wrinkle injections). No pain at all just a little discomfort which is expected with invasive procedures. The results were instant and I am thrilled. Thank you so much. This lady REALlY knows what’s she’s doing. Salon is spotlessly clean and I highly recommend !! Thank you 🙏

OMG...Anna is the most amazing person and Aesthetics and beauty practioner ever!! I'm so happy she opened in ilkeston it was serendipitous as I was researching non surgical facial treatment and then then poof Anna arrived. My second treatment was today with fillers and a skin treatment I can't spell. From the start Anna has been warm, friendly and dull of great advice and her passion for what she does shines through. I am a trans woman and our goal I to feminise my face subtly and the results are amazing my cheeks and chin are making me look how I feel. See you soon and thankyou Michaela 💗x

Perfect as always! A bit more discomfort than usual with my anti-wrinkle treatment due to being under the weather but Anna, as usual, put me at ease and took my mind off it. Skin boosters to top off Anna’s legendary glow up. A good old chinwag thrown in made the experience worth every penny. I would literally not trust anyone else with my skin. Anna is at the top of her game; the work she does speaks for itself. Thanks again x

Eyebrows and eyeliner semi-permanent makeup. Really pleased with the results and Anna so professional and lovely. Have total trust in her. Wouldn't go to anybody else. Written with thanks and admiration. Xx

Anna is an artist who I have full confidence in

Amazing friendly service again from Anna. Touch up semi permanent treatment as well as the BB glow has left my skin looking and feeling wonderful 🥰

Anna is amazing, I’ve been wanting semi permanent makeup for the last 20 years and now it’s a reality. I’ve got an amazing lip colour, eyebrows and just waiting to book my eyeliner appointment next. There’s so many more different treatments that Anna offers I didn’t even know about and recently asked about the skin boosters as, I have got terrible hyperpigmentation on my face due to medication and the sun. The glossy Aqua skin booster should help with this so, I’m going to also book for this as well. Anna is truly the gift that keeps on giving 🥰

Amazing service yet again. Keri is so approachable and overall a genuinely kind person! Would definitely recommend especially to anyone that may feel nervous about getting one of Keri’s services done. Keri makes you feel at ease. During my appointment we had a great catch up which was lovely. Not only great service but the results of my service were amazing. I had a lash lift and tint, couldn’t be happier at all. Wouldn’t go anywhere else other than Keri! 10/10!!
