The practitioner
Sarah Ann.
An advanced aesthetics practitioner and semi permanent make up artist, working from her own licensed and insured clinic on Huddersfield Road in Oldham.
In her own words
Natural results, facial balancing and full face rejuvenation.
That line is Sarah Ann's own description of her work, and it is a fair summary of what she does. She is an aesthetics practitioner and a semi permanent make up artist, licensed, insured and emergency trained, and she has built a following of more than four thousand people on the strength of the work itself.
The clinic is on Huddersfield Road in Waterhead. It is her own room, and she runs it consultation led: nothing is treated before it has been assessed in person, and the conservative option is taken where there is a choice.
How she works
Read the face first.
Sarah Ann teaches as much as she treats. Her social media is largely her explaining technique to people who are trying to decide what to do, which is unusual and tells you most of what you need to know about how she practises.
The whole face, not the complaint
The place that looks wrong is frequently not the place that needs treating. The assessment covers the structure of the face before anything is decided.
The pre jowl example
Her most shared point: the biggest mistake with a pre jowl is filling the jowl itself. Supporting what sits in front of and around it is what actually improves the line.
No is an answer
Some faces do not suit some treatments. Tear troughs in particular. Being told no is a sign of a practitioner worth booking.
She answers her own messages
Before and after treatment. If something concerns you, you are talking to the person who treated you, not a booking desk.
Safety
Licensed, insured, emergency trained.
Aesthetics is a lightly regulated industry and a great deal of poor work gets done in it. Sarah Ann's clinic is licensed and insured, she is trained to manage complications, and a meaningful part of her week is spent correcting treatments carried out elsewhere. If you want to see her certificates, ask: they are on the wall.
