Enhancing beauty, inspiring confidence since 2019.
Looking for an aesthetics practitioner who’s approachable, professional, reassuring and honest? That’s me.
Aesthetics is my art form. I’ve honed my skills over the past six years, perfecting my technique to deliver the natural-looking results you want, time after time.
No two faces are the same — and neither are two aesthetics practitioners. I tailor every treatment to your individual facial shape, anatomy and needs.
Helping you feel like the best version of yourself is always my main goal.
Because I’m human too. I have my own insecurities and hang-ups, and I understand exactly how you’re feeling.
But I’m also honest. Smaller, subtler tweaks can have the biggest impact, and I pride myself on promoting beautifully natural-looking results.

I’ve been to Kate for years for Derma planing and later for line relaxing injections, which i had wanted to try for a while but was apprehensive, Kate explained the techniques etc and gave me the confidence to book, it was so natural looking, my only regret is not having it done sooner! Kate is friendly, professional and knowledgeable and always makes you feel at ease, ensuring she explains every aspect of the treatment and aftercare. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I honestly can’t recommend Kate enough! I’ve been seeing her for the last 18 months in the lead-up to my wedding, and she has completely transformed my skin and given me so much confidence throughout the whole process.
I had skin boosters and Botox in three areas, and the results were incredible. My skin looked absolutely insane on our wedding day — glowing, fresh and so natural. I had so many comments from people throughout the 18 months, and especially on the wedding day, asking what I’d had done and saying how amazing my skin looked.
Kate is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but she’s also such a lovely person. I’ve always felt completely comfortable and in the safest hands with her, and she takes the time to understand exactly what you want while making sure everything looks natural and suits you.
I genuinely wouldn’t go to anyone else. Kate is honestly the best in the business and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. If you’re considering aesthetics, book with Kate — you won’t regret it! ❤️

I just want to say a huge thank you to Kate for her amazing work! ❤️
For such a long time, I was really scared to get lip filler because I thought it would be extremely painful, and I was also worried about the results looking unnatural. One day, I finally decided to just go for it, and I chose Kate because I loved how natural all of her work looked.
I can honestly say that I am 100% happy with my results! 🥰 My lips healed beautifully and look so natural. Even when I tell people that I have lip filler, they can’t believe it because they look so natural!
Kate, thank you so much for your amazing work, care and attention to detail. You truly know how to bring your clients’ expectations to life. I’m so happy I chose you and would definitely recommend you! ❤️

Came for a top up on lip filler as I had previously had about 1ml with someone different 18 months ago. Had 0.5ml this time after having a consultation on what would be best and I was incredibly happy with the results.
Very professional but also made me feel extremely comfortable at the same time, the results are absolutely amazing, hardly any swelling or bruising and I am so so happy! Will definitely be returning for a top up/ other treatments in the future x

I’ve had lip filler a handful of times with Kate, and is always a great experience. The whole process was quick, comfortable, and professionally done. Kate made me feel completely at ease, explained everything clearly, and listened to exactly the look I was hoping for. She gives honest opinion on how much filler would be too much and when it would look unnatural. The results are the perfect enhancement without looking overdone. I always leave happy with how my lips look.
Can’t recommend enough, thankyou Kate xx

Couldn’t recommend enough! Been looking for a long time for a new lip filler technician and so glad I came across face things first especially finding Kate! As soon as I saw she was a nurse I knew I’d be in good hands. Consultation was great felt right as ease straight away, she checked on me the entire time throughout the appointment, her technique was great I could barley feel much pain compared to when I’ve had my lips done previously I am extremely happy and would recommend to anyway!

Had my first B12 injection with Kate and feel so much better for it. I plan to use FTF for future treatments as their list of services and expertise is extensive. You should only go to qualified nurses for your aesthetic needs and it's something I won't hesitate to do in the future.

Ive had my lips done at Face Things First twice now and always so impressed with the results. The team is so welcoming, and they went above and beyond to accommodate my last minute appointment which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Face Things First to anyone considering any aesthetic treatments as they really do go over and above to get the results you want and make you feel assured every step of the way!

Been going to Kate and Emma for a few years now and always had the best service! Both make you feel welcoming, listen to your wishes/worries on any procedure, always follow up to make sure you’re happy with the service and are available at any time to answer any enquiries. I will never go anywhere else and have recommended all my family and friends too! The new salon is also amazing.

Lovely girls . I was very anxious and hesitant to try any form of cosmetic treatment , being a man and associating it as primarily for women but the girls made me feel comfortable and relaxed. They advised against fillers around my eyes due to me getting puffy eyes ( I'm sure some other places would have seen me coming and just taken my money and sent me on my way ) . I had a chemical peel which was pleasant and not at all like I had read about online , this morning my face is smooth , clean and fresh . After visiting i'm now over the stigma , i will be considering lumi eye as recommend in place of any fillers and I will be visiting regularly for the chemical peel . I would definitely recommend to other men who are reluctant and anxious as I was prior to my visit . See you in a few weeks .

My second time visiting Face Things First this time for Polynucleotide treatment. Would highly recommend Kate and Emma for any treatment. Everything is explained fully and they really put you at ease and recommend the best treatment for your needs and also advise on any further treatments. Super friendly as always and the procedure was next to painless. Looking forward to seeing the results after a few more appointments! Highly recommend

I had my lips dissolved as I had been else where for filler and they ended heavily migrated and lumpy and then had them refilled 2 weeks after. They look unreal now and I love them! All the ladies in the salon are amazing and kind, make you feel very relaxed. How they go about things are so professional! I wouldn’t be going anywhere else now!

They make you feel so comfortable during treatments and my skin feels amazing from the polynucleotides! I’ve noticed a massive difference with my skin since I’ve started coming. Thankyou both so much, can’t wait to come back soon ❤️ xx

Today was my first time having a cosmetic procedure, and I am also scared of needles so I was extremely nervous as this was a huge deal for me! Kate made me feel so comfortable from start to finish and put my mind at ease, always checking I was ok. I am very happy with my first lips and will definitely be back when it’s top up time! Thanks Kate for being so lovely 🖤

I've just finished my treatment. I have just had a non surgical rhinoplasty. Wow! My results are amazing. I now love my nose. I'm not very good with needles, Emma and Kate made me feel really comfortable and calm. They discussed the procedure against themselves, working great as a team, for me to get the best results from my treatment. Your a great duo girls! Thank you again xx

I have been visiting Emma and Kate for over 2 years now. They are the most approachable, reassuring and professional duo ever. I feel so lucky to have them on the doorstep, however I wouldn’t think twice about making the journey even if they were not local. They promote natural enhancements which is what I was looking for, and always ensure the enhancements they make are necessary, and will suit me. I receive so many compliments, and have since had many friends go to the girls for their enhancements too. I would highly recommend Face Things First.

I recently visited Face Things First aesthetics clinic for a lip filler treatment, and let me tell you, it was amazing! Emma and Kate, the qualified nurses, did such a fantastic job. They were super knowledgeable about lip fillers and made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. They took the time to understand what I wanted and gave me great advice on achieving the best results. The clinic itself had a welcoming atmosphere, friendly and professional. I absolutely love how my lips turned out! If you're considering getting lip fillers, I highly recommend Face Things First aesthetics clinic. Emma and Kate will take care of you and give you the perfect pout! 💋💉

I have been having treatments at face things first since Emma & Kate first set up their business.
They are always incredibly professional, kind and friendly and offer excellent information and advice both before deciding on procedures and with the follow up of aftercare. They always listen to my preferences on the Desired look I am aiming for and I have always been 100% happy with the outcome. Emma and Kate have always been really reassuring and put you at ease throughout your appointment too.
I have recommended them to several family members, friends and work colleagues who have all had a great experience too.
Thankyou so much both of you!
Why choose Face Things First?
NURSE-LED & NMC REGISTERED
Led by an NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) registered nurse with extensive clinical experience.
ADVANCED AESTHETICS TRAINING
Advanced training in injectables and medical-grade skincare.
FULLY INSURED PRACTICE
Comprehensive insurance cover for all treatments and the clinic.
Pay for the skill, not the ml.
If you’re considering a non-surgical aesthetics treatment, don’t just put your face in the hands of anyone.
The aesthetics industry is fast-changing and, unfortunately, still not fully regulated. Another practitioner may be cheaper, but they may lack medical training, a detailed understanding of facial anatomy, and the skills required to manage complications safely.
As a registered nurse, I am legally and professionally bound by medical ethics. This means I have a clear duty of care to protect your safety at all times.
Even when carried out by medically trained professionals, injectable treatments will always carry an element of risk. However, at Face Things First, I have the medical knowledge, experience and clinical equipment needed to manage complications promptly, reducing the risk of harm or lasting damage.
At your consultation, I’ll assess your individual concerns and create a bespoke treatment plan tailored to you. I’ll also discuss any potential risks and side effects in full, so you can make a truly informed decision about the treatment you’re considering.
