Just perfect. I never really wear much makeup but i just wanted my 30th to be a bit more special. Ray (sorry if thats not right) was absolutely amazing! She understood i didnt want anything too heavy but still wanted to look good, and i did!! I felt great! So many compliments and it lasted all day and all night. Really lovely makeup. I'm 1000% going to come back again. Everyone was so lovely and welcoming from start to finish, thankyou again x

Lois is quite simply AMAZING!!
She worked miracles on my brows.
She is meticulous and a perfectionist!
I absolutely love my brows, despite being very nervous about having them done.

I will never go anywhere else.

I genuinely cannot recommend her enough.
Thankyou so much x

I went to The Color Therapy & Lounge this morning to get my hair & makeup done for a wedding, and what a lovely experience I had. From start to finish all the ladies were so attentive & nothing was a problem/issue for them. Unfortunately I didn’t catch the name of the lady who done my hair (long blonde/brown hair curly hair, half up half down) but she was so lovely & attentive and done my hair exactly how I asked, I loved it.
Lois then done my makeup, I showed her a couple of pictures of how I’d like it, then let her take rein & do as she wished, to say I was happy is an understatement. Loved every minute of my experience start to finish & if I’m ever back up north again I will definitely be going there. Highly highly recommend The Color Therapy & Lounge, thank you so much ladies xx
