Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 451 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their welcoming, friendly, and professional demeanor, highlighting the exceptional service from booking to the photoshoot itself. Many people appreciate the talent of the makeup artists, hairdressers, and photographers, who are often described as making them feel comfortable and special, resulting in amazing and cherished photos. The overall user experience is frequently noted as enjoyable, relaxed, and fun, with many feeling well looked after throughout the process. However, some customers experienced disorganization, such as delays and feeling rushed, leading to an incomplete or unsatisfactory experience.

Additionally, some reviewers felt the styling support was inadequate for diverse hair and skin types, and a small number of people found the sales process for additional photos to be overly insistent.

A fantastic photo experience.

The team at Vanity Studios went out of their way to provide a great package for our family. We had a great experience in the photo shoot with Danny as our photographer and were very pleased with the photos we received. It was easy to communicate through the booking process and everything ran very smoothly.

An absolutely wonderful experience!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Vanity Studios for our family photo shoot.
From the moment we arrived, the whole team made us feel welcome and relaxed. The hair and makeup were beautifully done; professional, flattering, and exactly what we’d hoped for and really helped us feel confident in front of the camera.
Our photographer was fantastic and even helped coordinate our outfits, which made such a difference and ensured everything looked cohesive and polished.
Every member of staff was friendly, patient, and highly professional, which made the experience enjoyable for the whole family.
The shoot itself was fun and well organised, and we never felt rushed.
We’re so pleased with the experience and would highly recommend Vanity Studios to anyone looking for a special photo shoot. We have some beautiful photos to cherish forever!

Pressured and and Uncomfortable Sales Experience

I wanted to reiterate my feelings following our phone call regarding this experience. I felt pressured into purchasing the offer at the Spirit of Christmas Fair. The sales approach came across as very pushy, and I felt cornered and trapped into buying the voucher. While you may view this as effective salesmanship, to me it felt misleading and left me feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Additionally, being asked to pay an extra deposit on top of an already purchased voucher does not make sense. In my opinion, the voucher itself should act as the deposit, with the understanding that it would be forfeited in the event of a cancellation or no-show.
Overall, this was a disappointing experience, and unfortunately, I would not recommend your services.

Hi Karine,

We’re sorry to hear that you felt uncomfortable during your interaction with us. That’s never the intention of our team, and we certainly don’t want anyone to feel pressured or cornered.

Regarding the booking deposit, this is separate from the promotional package purchase and secures the studio time allocated for the appointment. It is refunded or credited after the session, provided the booking terms are met. We appreciate that this may not always be clear at the point of purchase, and your feedback is noted.

If you’d be open to discussing this further, we’d be happy to review your experience directly at info@vanitystudios.co.uk.

wonderful and fun experience

I had one of the most wonderful and fun experience. The photoshoot was absolutely amazing with detailed guidance how to make the best of images taken. I could not be happier with my images. Such a nice memory to keep. Each member of the team were amazing in their jobs and very professional. We also had a group photos taken that were absolutely amazing. Thank you very much Vanity studios for the lovely time and experience I and my friends had at your studio.

Enjoyable , relaxing experience

Your patience even when we did not arrive on time, for our appointment was greatly 👏 appreciated.

My daughter, Precious loved the experience as it is something she had always looked forward to doing since she was a little girl.
Getting this opportunity was second to none, when she least expected. Even when unwell, Precious was able to have fun with the camera!

This is what she had to say: "The experience was very enjoyable, the people were nice, encouraging and very supportive".

Thank you all for giving us your time to have a wonderful time!

Amazing experience at Vanity Studios

The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. We had a very friendly welcome when we arrived and given clear instructions. We were offered complimentary drinks on arrival and there was an array of snacks available to choose from. The make up artist and hair stylist were very professional and we had a nice chat while they worked. We were offered numerous top up of drinks and checked on to make sure we were ok. We had the lovely Erica as our photographer who made us feel comfortable and beautiful. She gave great direction for poses and sets. It was a beautiful experience. Then we met the lovely Sienna or Sierra the beautiful lady who showed us our images and made choosing our images fun and easy.

Danny Photoshoot

I went for a shoot with danny for a confidence boost after never having been photographed and it has been so amazing to see the pictures. Danny made me feel very comfortable and i feel quite emotional looking at the images and realising that is me!

What a fantastic experience

What a fantastic experience! We were greeted with refreshments, had our hair styled and nails painted, and were treated to an expert makeover. Our photographer, Matteo, was professional and made the photo shoot fun and memorable for our family. Siobhan spent time showing us the images at the end of the session and helped us select our favourites. Thank you to the team for making our day special.

We had a fantastic experience with Vanity Studios for our family photoshoot. I went with my husband and our 3 month old baby and felt completely at ease from start to finish. The team was incredibly patient, friendly, and professional, which made a huge difference with such a young baby.
We took two family photos (one Christmas-themed and one normal), one baby photo, and one professional photo, and we were really impressed with how each shot turned out. The quality, lighting, and attention to detail were excellent. We’re absolutely delighted with the results and now have beautiful memories captured that we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend Vanity Studios for family and baby photoshoots! We will be back! ❤️

Professional

The process throughout was very professional and easy to follow, which reflected in the quality of photos taken. Overall, I was very impressed. The only downside is that I had to wait an hour due to time being allotted for female hair and makeup for the guest. I updated this over the phone, but this didn't seem to follow through.

The experience was great for my daughter, she enjoyed being pampered. The people were lovely, and they offered you a hot or cold drink , alcohol or non alcoholic, and a snack if you wanted it . The only negative was we were told 11:45 to start at 12 but we was delayed by 1 hour , which was hard as we need to catch the train home at a certain time , and because of this we was slightly rushed when selecting photos .
But overall we we happy 😃

Loved the studio and would recommend any day!

I arrived and the studio was already very clean and well organized. Everyone on set was a joy to work with and made everyone feel confident and comfortable. I received honest feedback on my pictures and left with a great set of shots! I look forward to working with the vanity studios again.
