ABOUT Kiss + Make up

Kiss and Make-up Beauty Salon

Busby, Glasgow +

My journey into the beauty industry started when at age 3 I would make the long trip everyday with my mum as she studied beauty therapy at Clydebank college where I would attend nursery.

I grew up watching her perfect her skills and eventually set up her own business and salon.

After studying prosthetics and beauty at college I soon joined my mum in her established salon in busby. Together, we studied semi permanent makeup and offering this treatment to clients became something I knew i wanted to further my career in.

Sadly in 2014 at age 50 mum passed away from cancer. It was a devastating loss not only did I lose my mum, my best friend but also my business partner. At the time I was 23, and looking back now I can see how much of a burden that was to take on. But I knew I could take on my mums legacy and build it into something I know she would be really proud of.

A shop refit, new branding and 2 kids later, the salon is going from strength to strength with the support of my amazing clients.

This year I look the leap to continue my practice in tattooing and I am now a fully qualified level 4 medical tattoo practitioner.

Being able to help build people’s confidence after illness and various physical traumas is a true privilege.

With our small team Laura, our assistant manager & other therapist Alyssa, we are a very close bunch of girls. We share the best laughs and all love what we do. The salon is a truly amazing story of determination and strong women and we look forward to welcoming you in.
