In 2014, Natalie achieved her non-medical prescribing licence at Edge Hill University, marking the beginning of her move into aesthetics.
Natalie has always believed that a major and important part of her role is to improve patients’ self-esteem and wellbeing. It is this philosophy that has led her to become an expert in aesthetics, specialising in anti-ageing and beautification and using the latest non-surgical cosmetic techniques.

Chelsea started her journey in 2015 when she completed her first makeup qualification. But her real industry love stems from her passion for lashes. Chelsea completed her classic lash training in 2018, a course that encouraged her to later complete her Russian Lashes qualification whilst working evenings and weekends at a professional lash bar. This allowed her to gain valuable experience whilst also building up a loyal and happy list of clients through word of mouth and social media recommendations.
Chelsea is passionate about teaching lash application in the best way possible, always taking pride in her work and aiming to give the client the best possible experience. She is a strong believer that learning theory, styling, and products are just as important as learning techniques.
