Deirdre is trained to do both Hair & Makeup - she is the best in the area for Fashion and TV shoots. Her expertise makes her the much sought-after professional expert for locals, returning clients and visitors seeking hair, make-up, spray tans for every kind of event.
Hello, I’m Deirdre.
I’m a bit older - so I have seen it all! Born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1968 and have been doing makeup for 35+ years. I’m also currently studying my Bachelor of Social Work part-time.
I am truly passionate about making people feel their best, relaxed, comfortable, safe and special. A lot of my feedback is that I actually LISTEN to what people want and make them feel safe in my hands.
Being part of someones day and with them creating special memories is humbling. I feel privileged and honoured to be part of people’s special events.
