Siobhan opened Blue Beauty Cheshire in 2018 on Meadowsweet Road in Mobberley having grown up in Manchester and moved to the area in 2009.

She started as a makeup artist while working in admin and accounts but always had the desire to work for herself, so she trained in nails and hair extensions enabling her to build a client base.

Siobhan loves creating unusual nails for her clients

Siobhan, who is 37, said: “I wanted to work for myself so I could dictate my own hours and still have social life, take my children to school and choose to work with people I enjoy spending time with.

“I had my son just as a I left school and went to college while raising him, studying hairdressing and Swedish massage.

“I always wanted to be in the beauty industry – it’s something I’ve always been passionate about.

“I am a girly girl and love seeing a transformation, making a woman feel good about herself.”

Siobhan loves creating artistic nails for her clients and adds personal touches to the treatments she offers.

Siobhan said: “My clients like walking around with nails that nobody else has.

“I have always had set prices so that people can express themselves and enjoy having a treatment without any hidden charges.

“I work in a very affluent area and know I could charge a lot more but my clients are more important to me than out pricing them to appear more desirable.

“The best thing about my job is that I get to catch up regularly with the girls that I want to catch up with.

“My clients have become friends - they tell me their life stories and their secrets and they know that I don’t judge them and won’t ever break their trust.”

Siobhan is fully qualified in makeup
