Hair extensions are becoming ever more popular. No longer are they the exclusive preserve of the rich and famous.

Racoon Hair Extensions can be used to add length, volume, highlights or a real splash of colours. Extensions allow you to do things that just aren't possible with your own hair.

It is the most effective way of adding hair.

Racoon has developed a volume boosting technique that gives more shape to your hair creating a thick, lustrous mane' Add life to your hair, enhance your natural hair colour or explore a different side to your personality.

On the day of your event, I am able to travel to your venue. To secure a booking, a deposit is required.

This will ensure my services for the desired date...

 I only use products of the highest quality; though I am not loyal to any one brand, some of these products include Latonas, Bobbie Brown, Evolve Mac, Napoleon, Proof, and Trucco, for makeup. Wella, Sebastian, Moroccan, Racoon, and GHD products, for hair. I will use a combination of products and techniques that will give the best results. To create a clean, fresh and glamorous look.  A style which is classical yet contemporary, with an individual edge tailored to suit your facial shape and enhance your looks.

Airbrushing - Airbrush foundation is high in coverage, but thin in texture, offering a full coverage application that's dispersed as sheer and evenly as possible. The result is perfect-looking skin achieved with minimal product. The spray the airbrush puts down on the skin registers less on camera than the patterns and lines that brushes and sponges leave behind. These marks may appear invisible to the naked eye, though they are quite noticeable when shown in Hi-Definition close-up or in a High Resolution Digital Photo. While other advantages include longevity and durability the true advantage of airbrush makeup is the beautiful result it produces.

Planning that perfect combination of hair and makeup starts with a trial session; usually takes place in the stylish and relaxed atmosphere of my studio. I recommend you have your trial done when you’re going somewhere special! During the trial, feel free to bring along any magazine photographs or other pictures of the look you desire and members of your bridal party are also welcome to attend the trial. In preparing for your big day, I will take the time to talk with you, to plan your desired look, and most importantly the look that will best suit you. I will do this by taking into account your skin complexion, hair type and any other special personal elements for your day.
