personal styling testimonials
This is what just a few people that Shaon has worked with have to say about her & her services:
Since I split from my partner some years ago I have been thoroughly engrossed in my work.
I have never been a great dresser, since I have never had a great passion for it, so the rules of does and don’t, I can safely say are lost on me accept of course when I’m in a boardroom meeting or attending an official black tie do!
I have always gone with comfort clothes as I was never sure what to wear and went with I considered be smart casual. But never really got any compliments or stood out!
So when I was asked by a friend why not try a make over, I must confess I was rather reluctant about exposing myself to this kind of thing… But then I thought had nothing to lose at this point and went for it!
The experience was surprisingly fun and I learned a lot about myself and what worked for me without spending pot loads of money.
Most of all my confidence has been boosted by the look good, feel good factor!

It all started when I moved house and I realised I had acquired a lot of clothing over the years, but that I had great difficulty actually finding things to wear. I had all these items of clothing which I liked, but most of which didn’t go with anything to make an actual outfit. This just led to a cluttered and unusable collection. I’d stopped enjoying getting dressed up or even getting dressed for work.
This was when I called on Shaon who always appeared to look really stylish whatever the occasion and seemed very relaxed about clothing and shopping in general.
Shaon came to my house and went through my entire wardrobe and considered every item of my clothing, asked me loads of questions via a questionairre and then started to put together a plan, personal to me.
What I liked most about this was at no point did she attempt to change anything dramatic about me, but instead just to work with ideas I came up with 
myself taking into consideration colours and styles that I liked. She went on to create a number of outfits I liked from the clothes I already had, matched things together in ways I never imagined would work.
Immediately I appeared to have loads ‘more’ clothes and many more options and yet I’d not spent any money! I was then able, through the consultation process, to go shopping for a small number of essential items that added to what I’d already got.
Shaon actually managed to help me to spend less on clothing as I was now shopping with a clear vision in my mind as to what clothes to buy and what colours to aim for.
Shopping again became fun and I now set aside times to go clothes shopping as part of my routine. I also really enjoyed the service when Shaon shopped with me for a couple of important occasions coming up. She helped me to carefully choose items that complimented each other, complete with accessorising, a skill I’d never managed to get my head around before!
Thanks Shaon, it’s been great fun..!

“I personally would like to see a challenge between Gok Wan and Shaon based on a reasonable budget which is genuinely based on the average salary, not designer prices/outfits.
Although I am aware that the aim was to achieve a competitive comparison between designer outfits and Gok’s budget of £200, realistically a £200 budget on one outfit, for the majority of fashion conscious women, is still far too high, especially during the current economic environment.
Shaon has the passion, ability and experience to deliver an affordable, feel good package, which I know would give Gok a good run for his money"

Shaon has been a great help in making me realise my style and what suits
me 
best; she has an honest and direct approach which is exactly what I like!
She has a great sense of awareness of style versus lifestyle and suggest items that not only looks good but is truly a bargain too; taking away that oh so familiar sense of guilt I always associate with shopping and treating myself to something fabulous!
I would recommend Shaon’s service whole heartily as she has helped me achieve a sense of style and improved my self esteem in the process as I now look stylish and represent myself truly in the way I dress and look.
Thank you Shaon!
Shaon has been able to give me a real boost with advice about my wardrobe. The great thing about Shaon is that she has made me think about myself again. When you are bringing up children you don’t really think much about yourself and how you look, you don’t really have time. So it is great to be told that you can start to look and feel great again and pay attention to yourself. Shaon was able to make me see that I can make much more of the clothes I already have, which means you don’t have to spend a fortune to look good.”

“The pressure was on! I needed to pack enough outfits to carry me through a five day conference in Malaysia – from a very limited working wardrobe and no time or budget to shop for new suits. Shaon helped me assess what could work (and what wouldn’t), and as if by magic she turned a few mismatched pieces into five stylish outfits to carry me through the week! Now I can relax and focus on the job because I know I’ll feel confident and look professional. She also suggested one or two canny new purchases that will make what little I have go a lot further – a big bonus!
Thank you Shaon”

nail care & beauty treatment testimonials
Di said: Just to say, thanks for doing my manicure, my nails look really nice. I look forward to having another manicure soon.
Bunge said: I had the pleasure of a facial and manicure recently. I found the whole process to be most relaxing. At all times Shaon took great care to explain what it was she was doing and checking if I were comfortable. I felt in very capable and caring hands. Thoroughly recommend it as a great way to feel good about yourself, and to have a bit of time being pampered over. The hand massage was an additional treat that I was not expecting but really enjoyed. Thanks Shaon, I’m booking another session, can’t wait!
Asa said: “After rushing around at work all day it was lovely to step into Shaon’s with soothing piano chill out music and lovely scents. She had arranged a cozy area with comfy chairs and all the products lined up. It was reassuring to see that all the tools Shaon is using had been disinfected and that she uses a glass file that also had been cleaned. There is nothing worse than using products that has someone else’d debris! Shaon started the manicure and explained all the different stages of the process; she created an informal environment and put me totally at ease. And the end result was beautiful! The manicure Shaon carried out lasted for over a week of cleaning my house, going to the gym and having an unusually hectic week using my hands a lot. It would have lasted much longer if I wasn’t, I’m sure!
I would recommend Shaon for manicures; she creates a lovely informal environment and is very skillfull in her techniques. I’ll be back for another manicure, pedicures and facials soon!”
Jill said: I've had my eyelashes tinted lots of times before, but never had a skin test before so was impressed with that. And with Shaon's treatment there was no irritation what so ever, which I have experienced previously. All in all I was very happy & have already re-booked for four weeks time.
Rachel said: As someone with fairly light-coloured eyebrows & lashes, I was quite taken aback with the dark brown tints at first! However, I’ve very quickly grown used to them and the extra definition they bring to my eyes/face. I particularly like the way I feel more ‘well-groomed’ even without makeup. As a busy working mum, this is an uplifting & time-saving bonus!
