DREAMY LASHES

Welcome to the world of Mimi Studio Pro, where lash extensions are more than just a beauty treatment; they’re a fashion statement. Say goodbye to heavy, fake-looking lashes and hello to dreamy lashes with a fashion edge.

Founded by Mimi Oviawe, Mimi Studio Pro’s team of highly qualified lash artists provide clients with a range of modern and luxurious lash services that cater to all styles, from the everyday to super glam and surreal looks.

Their service begins with a thorough consultation where the therapist analyses the client’s style, eye shape, colour, hair texture, face shape and height to determine the appropriate lash length and style. This ensures a personalized experience and results that are tailored to each client’s unique sense of style.

Mimi Studio Pro offers full sets, infills, lash baths, an lash removals, with prices ranging from £45 to £95, depending on the desired length and volume.

APPRENTICE STAR LAUNCHES SKINCARE

Bianca Miller-Cole, the award-winning serial entrepreneur and best-selling author, has stepped into the beauty world with her first beauty brand, HIAN Skin. The line includes three signature products: Facial Cleansing Wash (£15.99/100ml), Renewal Serum (£38.99/50ml), and Vibrancy Cream (£24.99/30ml), all formulated to plump, refine, and renew the skin in three simple steps.

Each product is packed with active botanicals such as pure neroli and sea buckthorn to target skincare concerns such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines, dark marks and wrinkles, while enhancing skin tone and texture. All HIAN Skin products are made locally in the UK and have been expertly formulated with the help of industry experts.

‘Frustrated by the amount of complicated 10-15 step skincare brands flooding the industry, I wanted to create a simple, effective skincare regime for busy customers who wish to HAVE IT ALL NOW (HIAN). I created this to empower people to feel their best in their own skin,’ says Miller-Cole, who also founded Bianca Miller London, an innovative hosiery brand she launched.
