Makeup Tuition
Feeling confident in your make up choices and application can make the difference between a good make up day, and a GREAT make up day. I love empowering women with skills, tips and tricks that are specific to their skin and needs, so they can master simple or stunning looks every time. It can be as simple as wanting to upgrade your daily look, or maybe wanting to feel your best at a special event.

I've been able to work with some pretty talented people creating magic on film and on shoots. Getting to be a part of the journey from concept to final product excites me.There's nothing quite like set or shoot energy! A down to earth personality and pragmatic approach sees me at home on set bringing your creative vision to life.

Haircuts/Hairdressing
From a young age, Laura dreamed of becoming a hairdresser, but the competitive environment initially led her to pursue other avenues. After several years in the Film and TV industry, she realized that her passion for hairdressing was still calling her. At 32, Laura took a bold step—she saved up and enrolled at Servilles Academy in Auckland to finally chase her creative dreams.
Being the eldest in her class didn't deter her; instead, it fueled her drive. Laura was not just there to make the most of her education; she took on at least five clients a day, showcasing her commitment and determination. With the course presenting its challenges, including battling carpal tunnel syndrome, she persevered and completed her training.
Upon returning to Queenstown, her hard work paid off, landing two film jobs that aligned her passions for hair and the industry she loves. Now, Laura combines her artistic flair and professional experience to offer exceptional hairdressing services, ready to help you look and feel your best.
