Meet the passionate team behind our beautiful transformations
StoneGroves was founded in 2015 by Sophia Reynolds, a veteran makeup artist with over 15 years of experience in the beauty industry. After working in fashion, film, and bridal sectors, Sophia recognized the need for a makeup service that truly focused on enhancing each client's unique features rather than following generic trends.
What began as a small, one-woman operation has grown into a team of talented professionals united by a shared philosophy: makeup should enhance natural beauty, build confidence, and be tailored to each individual's unique features and style.
Today, StoneGroves is known for creating flawless, photogenic makeup looks for brides, celebrities, models, and everyday clients looking to feel their best for special occasions. Our studio in Bellborough serves as our home base, though we regularly travel throughout the UK for on-location services.
We believe that listening is the foundation of great makeup artistry. Every service begins with a thorough consultation to understand your preferences, concerns, and vision.
We use premium, cruelty-free products carefully selected for their performance, longevity, and skin-friendly formulations. Our kit includes options for sensitive skin and various preferences.
The beauty industry is constantly evolving. Our team regularly participates in advanced training to stay current with the latest techniques, products, and trends.
Beauty comes in all forms. We celebrate diversity and are committed to making all clients feel welcome, respected, and beautiful, regardless of age, skin tone, gender, or style preferences.
