Devastating News

Hello Everyone,

It is with a deeply heavy heart that we share devastating news with you.

On Wednesday 29th July, not far from home, our beautiful and incredibly talented daughter Ava was taken from us in a car accident. Our family is completely heartbroken by this sudden loss.

As we navigate this profound grief and focus on supporting one another, Kate and Stephen will be taking some time away.

The Studio is open and full of colour and light; Dave and Peter will be here to welcome you.

We know many of you have been with us a long, long time and have watched Ava and Finlay grow. We will share details of Ava’s celebration of life in due course and all will be welcome.

So many of you have kindly asked how you can show support. In Ava's honour we will be establishing a memorial fund to celebrate her life and her legacy in hair and makeup in film and television. Details will be shared as soon as possible.

We kindly ask for your patience, understanding, and grace regarding any delayed response times or adjustments to our usual work over the coming weeks.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your ongoing support, warmth and kindness during this unimaginably difficult time.

With our warmest regards

Kate, Stephen and Finlay
