Valley Estate

Just like that it's all done..🥹

The stage, the dancing, the costumes, the makeup, the music! I love it all.

A massive thank you!...

To the 2200 people who bought tickets- without an audience there is no show! ✨

To my friends and family who came and watched- having your people amongst the crowd is so very special 🥰

To the entire MTO Crew- Everyone does their part so well, you only have to worry about your own. What an amazing thing you put together. 😍

The cast and orchestra- Dancing, singing and playing instruments- I am in awe of your talent. There is just nothing quite like the joy of dancing and the feeling of live music. 🎶

To the people coming up to me afterwards and saying how much they loved the show- your feedback keeps the post-show blues at bay 🤩

Lastly, my husband- Without your support, doing the things I love would be in the too-hard basket (someone has to pick up the slack!) You really are the best 😘

Firstly- Thanks so much for your support thus far and allowing me to grow my wee business ✨

Secondly- With that growth comes an updated price list. I aim to sit competitively in the current beauty market, whilst still being able to offer my $5 rebooking discount as a little loyalty bonus 🩷

My vision is for more than just an appointment, but a signature experience- which is why I put in extra time, care and thought!
There is definitely more to come, and I look forward to weaving more beauty into Valley Estate.

Note: Price change in effect from September 8th. All appointments that have already been made will be honoured at the current price.

What is it that you do exactly?

⠀
Well, that is the question 😅🤔
And one I've been asked a lot lately! - To be honest I have never really known how to answer....

⠀
I run a Beauty & Creative Studio for women.
I love to hang dried flowers and photos and make the space a super pretty and cozy place to be 😍

⠀
My most regular clientele book with me for eyebrow tints & shapes, lash tints and facial waxing.
These are the only beautician services I offer ✨

⠀
I also take on freelance creative projects.
Some of my favourites have been wedding signage, photography, dance choreography, designing gift cards and hosting a flower workshop collab 🌷
These things are more tailored and happen a little more organically rather than making a booking.

⠀
I love making things by hand and will sometimes create something to sell on my website for a bit ! 💁‍♀️

⠀
Going forward I have a lot of ideas for my business that are always taking up background space, and I hope one day they come to light 💡

⠀
I love all the things ! They make up VALLEY ESTATE 🥰

This took me a good couple of hours to put together 😅
How the time flies when you are absorbed in what you are doing!

Photoshop is such a beast I am constantly looking up how to do things I have already done 100 times.
There's just that much going on in there! Being self taught is probably not very helpful...

Thankyou for all the support even though my presence on here is anything but consistent!

Somehow you still manage to find me and I am grateful 🤍

P.s I stole and tweaked this headshot from MTO!

She has taken some great shots of the upcoming Anniversary show that I am dancing in. Opening night is Fri 7th August at the opera house 🙈
You should definitely come 😘

Just a little sign to say 'you're in the right place' 💚

Tickets are on sale now ✨
I am fairly new to musical theatre- so I feel pretty lucky that I get to be a part of a show celebrating decades of musical greats!!
With a full 24 piece orchestra and many talented Oamaru performers - This is one to watch 💜

A couple of helpful notes for current and future clients 🌸

How gooood are these brows 😍

Just a wee shape and tint is all 💁‍♀️

Scotts Brewery has a beautiful brand new website! Thanks so much for involving me to create some images ✨ Here's a few of my faves...

Gave one of my signs a wee front and back makeover and is out on the street today 💕 Hope everyone has a peaceful weekend xx
