Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 451 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their welcoming, friendly, and professional demeanor, highlighting the exceptional service from booking to the photoshoot itself. Many people appreciate the talent of the makeup artists, hairdressers, and photographers, who are often described as making them feel comfortable and special, resulting in amazing and cherished photos. The overall user experience is frequently noted as enjoyable, relaxed, and fun, with many feeling well looked after throughout the process. However, some customers experienced disorganization, such as delays and feeling rushed, leading to an incomplete or unsatisfactory experience. A few people also mentioned concerns about hygiene practices during makeup application and the heavy, unnatural makeup looks provided. Additionally, some reviewers felt the styling support was inadequate for diverse hair and skin types, and a small number of people found the sales process for additional photos to be overly insistent.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this photoshoot for my baby’s first birthday. The photographer was amazing—so patient, kind, and great with my baby. He even helped me carry the buggy upstairs, which was such a thoughtful gesture and really appreciated.

The makeup and hair artists were both lovely and made me feel comfortable and confident, and I was so happy with how I looked in the photos. From start to finish, the whole experience was smooth, relaxed, and enjoyable.

I’m so pleased with everything and would happily do it again. Highly recommended!

The perfect gift

A lovely experience for my daughter and me. Staff were friendly and professional. The photographer was excellent and made my daughter feel at ease. Beautiful images!
The only way the experience could be improved would be to have allowed us to choose one of the photos of both of us as one of those included in the package - I don’t understand why we couldn’t when we booked a ‘mother and daughter’ package.

Better than I imagined

I finally had a look that made me feel like me but stunning, would absolutely recommend for dark skin women as all of thire stylist and makeup artist are fully trained or have over 10 years experience.

My feelings are mixed

I enjoyed my time here, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the photographer made the whole process feel easy and relaxed. The photos themselves turned out beautifully, and I felt comfortable throughout the shoot.

That said, I was surprised by the hidden fees, which changed the overall feel of the experience. I was also promised an additional image for leaving a review, but my follow-up emails went unanswered. While the quality of the photos is lovely, the pricing makes it hard to recommend unless you’re prepared to spend quite a bit.

My feelings are mixed: I left feeling both happy and disappointed.

A Great FUN day

Everyone at the Studio made it a FUN day!!! The women who painted my nails, did my hair and my make-up produced a "movie-star" look. The photographer, Bernardo, was a delight and the photos were great! (A bit pricey yet no regrets!)

We had a fab day at Vanity Studios

We had a fab day at Vanity Studios. I didn't know what to expect but everyone was lovely. My 6 year old daughter loved having the glam treatment and even my 11 year old son enjoyed the experience. The photographer gave great direction and managed to catch some beautiful images. There was no hard sell to purchase and the lady was lovely and patient and helped us decide as there were so many great ones to choose from. Finally some family photos where no one is blinking!

Fantastic Experience

First time having my hair and make up done for a shoot and loved it. Really listened to what I wanted and I loved the results. Photographer had lots of ideas for shots that would suit me and also allowed me freedom to do ones I had in mind. Loved all the images and so hard to narrow down but love the portfolio I chose. Would highly recommend.

Five star experience

A birthday package from my husband for myself and mum. We had a ball!! Prosecco on arrival from Kyle. Make up by Nancy and Anna. Mum had her hair styled meticulously by Luca, who made mum feel extra special.

Danny the photographer was great and he took so many wonderful shots and we felt cute posing!! Our motherv/daughter photos are memorable. Angie helped us to meticulously pick from a vast range of glamorous photos. Overall, we had a positive 5 star treatment. Highly recommended.

Great care and customer service from the team at Vanity

I went with my daughter for my first day of retirement and everyone was very welcoming and friendly. You take along your own outfits and the team style your make up and hair under your guidance. I certainly looked very glamorous and happy with my look.
Our photographer welcomed us and it was a relaxed environment. She certainly put us at ease.
Angie took us through our photos and packages and I was delighted with the results

Great day!

Went with my daughter for photos. I was a bit nervous but needn’t have been. The staff were all so lovely and friendly and made us feel totally at ease. The photographer was great too and again made us feel totally relaxed. The viewing of the photos was so much easier than I expected especially given how many lovely photos we had to choose from. My daughter wanted dance photos and she’s so pleased with the results!
