Cherie

I moved away from home (Scunthorpe) when I was 18 to progress my career in beauty and work in a 5* Health Hydro and Spa. I’ve now been in the industry for 5 years and moved to Edinburgh in May last year. I enjoy cooking, shopping and socialising with friends.

Elizabeth

I have a bubbly personality and never take things too seriously but can still be professional when needed. People are always saying i am an entertainer and like to have a laugh of any kind. Love putting on funny voices and bursting into song anytime, anywhere.

Nicola

I’ve travelled around New Zealand, Australia and Thailand, have also lived in London and New Zealand. I’ve done Nevis swing, buggy jumped, traveled in a helicopter to the Glaziers, rode an elephant, fed baby tigers and been attacked by thai monkeys. I’m pretty good a snowboarding and have partied with Tinie Tempah in London too.

Jenny

I am a mummy to a little boy who is going to be turning one soon. I love nothing more than spending time with him, especially going to our weekly swimming classes. I used to paint a lot when I was younger and have recently taken it back up again as a hobby. I love painting for hours at a time and get completely lost in my art. I am perfectionist when I paint, especially when it comes to nails! I have always loved beauty but my first love is nails and cannot wait to create some beautiful nails for our lovely clients at The Nail Yard.
