Hi, I’m Sharon Irving

Makeup Artist / Skincare Expert

I’m a qualified professional with distinction from the Mary Reid International Spa Academy, and I'm just as passionate about skincare now as I was three decades ago. My preferred skincare products vary throughout the year, and I regularly share my recommendations on Instagram Stories and on our Pinterest board, The MadeUp Team — Get Good Skin. 

I also offer bespoke facials from my Tonic Cabin. These treatments centre around a 25-minute face, neck, and shoulder massage, using lymphatic drainage and deep relaxation techniques to leave the skin lifted, refreshed, and glowing.

You can see my skincare and makeup must-haves on our Instagram or on our blog, Madeup Recommends.

Hi, I’m Monica George

Hairdresser / Hair Stylist

I began my career with the award-winning Charlie Miller salon before joining Paterson SA, where I had the incredible opportunity to work alongside the late, great George Paterson on the artistic team. My journey then took me to Cape Town, South Africa, where I styled hair for countless fashion shows, editorials, and TV series, including America’s Next Top Model. 

Now, back home in Edinburgh, I am proud to be the co-owner of Beehive, a boutique salon in Leith.

We’ve become a favourite among locals for our creative cuts, stunning colours, and relaxed good vibes. 

Book me for a salon appointment at Beehive , for a fresh cut, colour, or complete transformation.
