Lavish by J

My experience ranges from industry standards, having been trained at The Open Study College and The Beauty Academy where I studied and completed my Beauty therapy qualifications, followed by Hairdressing at the highly respected London Hair Academy; to being trained by leading specialists: Ash Kumar, Arpita Karania and Yasmin James. 

Growing up with an Indian background, Henna (Mehndi) was my first creative interest. I absolutely loved playing with it (creating a mess!) and doodling my own Henna designs on numerous scraps of paper I’d find around the house. I bought my first makeup item when I was about 13 years old – Mascara; blue mascara to be precise! (Yes, that phase!) During my teens and throughout my short University life, I began to explore makeup and was amazed at how similar applying makeup was to painting on a canvas. This is where I felt I had found my calling.
