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.

In short, there aren’t enough words to describe the transformative experience of being cared for by Sam Cahill. As a professional, she is flawless—mastering her techniques, understanding her client's needs, and creating looks that go beyond makeup. They’re personalized works of art. Her eye for detail and her ability to enhance the unique beauty of each person are unparalleled. But what truly sets her apart is who she is as a person. She radiates warmth, is genuinely dedicated, and always makes me feel confident and at ease.

Sam is a very professional, friendly and proficient make up artist. I felt at ease from the moment I entered her room. Her knowledge is very broad and I was really pleased with the results. I will be returning for an advanced lesson, once I’ve mastered my everyday look. Jules Leadbitter Ilkeston Serenity Holistic Therapies.

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!!
