"How to stay healthy and beautiful has been a lifelong quest; mine was the first generation that never wanted to grow old. I’ve discovered that if you drop the ideal and love yourself by taking care of your body, you will enjoy life more because you naturally feel younger and look better.

My business in makeup artistry and Indian head massage has evolved through my life experience. How to take care of you and make the most of your natural beauty is what Pretty Flamingo is about. You arrive stressed, tired, your mind churning…

Relax, and let us give back to you a sense of well-being and comfort.

Holistic skin care for timelessly beautiful skin; ancient Indian head massage to melt away stress; Indian marma point massage to decongest, energise and bring peace of mind; makeup artistry that allows you to effortlessly achieve the look you want; colour analysis to find the makeup colours to bring out the best of you or the ultimate makeup makeover and photographic portraits for style and confidence in knowing that you’re looking good."
