Kerry McEwen

Kerry has been in the industry for five years and loves all things beauty. She strives to help clients feel comfortable and well cared for, ensuring they float out of the door looking and feeling their very best. When Kerry isn’t pampering clients, she can be found catching up with her loved ones and playing with her Golden Retriever puppy, Charlie.
Emilee Tilyard
Lash & Brow Technician
Emilee has been transforming the eyes of her clients for four years. Passionate about all things lashes and brows, Emilee takes the utmost care to ensure all of her clients leave feeling confident and happy.

Bridie Rippingham
Beauty Therapist
Although relatively new to the beauty industry, Bridie thrives on delivering excellence to her clients and strives to create a friendly and relaxing experience. Bridie enjoys fitness, health and beauty in her spare time and adores her German Shepard, Stella.
Debbie Sweet
Injectable Nurse
After seeing the positive impact that ’tweakments’ had on her aunt when she needed it the most following a mastectomy, Debbie knew she wanted to help others experience the same boost to their esteem in their time of need. As a busy mum of three, she understands how it can feel to have tired skin, so she loves to create vibrance that restores the feeling of being comfortable in your own skin.
Lara Molloy
Injectable Nurse
Lara had experienced first-hand the life-changing impact that aesthetics can bring after receiving surgery for her cleft lip when she was younger. She’s now on a mission to offer others the same positive impact she experienced. Lara has trained to become a fully-qualified nurse, as well as earning both Juvéderm and Botox certifications.
