About Me

Katie x

​

I originally studied for 3 years at college to gain qualifications in Hairdressing & Beauty Therapy...but my dream was always to be a Make up Artist.

​

I attended the BBC Make up School, where I learnt the hair and make up skills needed to work in the Film & Television Industry.​ It's very competitive and took a lot of hard work and determination to get a foot in the door! But I spent over 25 years working as a freelance MUA on many popular TV shows and magazine shoots. 

​

I feel very fortunate to have met and worked with some fabulous people in some amazing places. I have some wonderful memories and lovely friendships from this time. But, as with many industries, it can be a very stressful working environment. Long hours, live shows, deadlines, nerves, performance anxieties and exhaustion for those both in front of and behind the camera.

And so my interest in massage and holistic therapies began to grow. I completed a number of courses and gained qualifications in Aromatherapy, Swedish Massage, Accupressure, Myofascial Release and Reiki. Learning more about stress and anxiety and the effect this has on the body and skin.

​

And so back to my Beauty roots!

​

I worked in a couple of local salons for a few years. My confidence grew and my knowledge expanded. I felt the time had come to embark on a new challenge, on my own, and so I opened my place The Beauty Room.  My aim is to offer a wide variety of professional treatments in a friendly, welcoming environment. I strive to keep up to date with new beauty trends and  results driven products and treatments. More recently I trained with Million Dollar Facial and I'm now a certified Platinum Technician and Medi + Stockist. I'm so pleased to be able to now include a range of facial and body treatments that include Dermaplane and Microneedling. I'm all about real results for real people.

​

I look forward to seeing you all in The Beauty Room x
