SGR Vintage Hair & Make up

Ever since I was a little girl I have been on the obsessive side when it came to makeup, my parents would only have to leave me alone for 5 minutes with my little sister to come back to find a full baby makeover was in progress. But from the early days of tinkerbell peel off nail varnish and strawberry flavoured lipstick I have taken a very long winding route to get to where I am today ...

Despite my teenage nagging of my parents, I was 'persuaded' to take the academic route out of school and went off to college to take A levels then I was well and truly on the academic treadmill as it was off to Uni to study Chemistry.

After getting a 1st Class degree I thought I had better go off and do a 'proper' job. I then moved to Jersey to train as an accountant. It was here I realised that I didn't want to spend the rest of my working life sat at a desk and I left the week after I qualified. Everyone said I was either crazy or brave or both. I say you're crazier and braver to sit in a job you don't like(?!) Everyone has the power to change their own life and make it what they want it to be.

After leaving Jersey I moved to london to retrain in hair & makeup and started to hone my craft working in theatre and film. And then last year, when I finally moved home to Birmingham, I set up my own business and SGR Vintage Hair & Makeup was born. Bringing vintage hair and makeup styling into your own home for weddings, parties or special occasions. Oh and I also studied for my diploma in Cosmetic Science in there somewhere!
