“Lovely day with special treatment”

Written on: 06/03/2013 by Lak4077 (1 review written)

I paid through groupon for my mother and mother in law to have the makeover and photoshoot. They loved every second and paid £50 each for 5 pictures. We thought that was reasonable considering the pictures were fab. (read more)

“Hair ripped out by gay scruffy stylist”

Written on: 05/03/2013

First time at the salon thought it would be an outstanding first class service. However receptionist was very cold and lost in her chit chat with other staff, rather than greeting New customers. Followed by the stylist who was slobbering and wiping his nose several times with the back Of his hands. He also reacked of cigarettes too. Once he got to the wash basin it felt as though he was tugging at my hair violently. I bit my tongue Rather than speaking out. Stupid me! Then when he took... (read more)

Wow really the manager should have at least compensated this
And called you back how rude. No wonder they aren't doing so well
They seem to go on a lot of the cheap deals/voucher deals

We won't go there. Hope ur hairs grown back. You shouldn't have paid!!!!

“The battle is ongoing”

Written on: 20/11/2012

I attended a lovely day at New ID Studios in October, couldn't fault the day itself. My work collegue also attended a short time after, loved the day aswell! It has since come to light that my work collegue paid HALF the ammount i paid for the photos! We were told no discounts, they tried to use that as an excuse. We were told they couldn't lower it anymore, due to the boss, as an excuse. We were told we couldn't view the photos on a seperate day, my work collegue did, another excuse. I... (read more)

“Happy to recommend New iD”

Written on: 14/11/2012 by bethgervaise (1 review written)

I have to hand it to New ID they certainly do exactly what they say they are going to do and give you a glimpse of just how incredible to you can look. I do not wear a lot of makeup, in fact I wear hardly any so I guess it was never going to be that hard to make me look completely different but I never expected that I could look that incredible even with a great new hair style and some professionally applied makeup. The whole experience of New ID was really thrilling and the time that each... (read more)

“Cure for uninterested Teenagers!”

Written on: 07/11/2012 by naggingmother (1 review written)

I took my daughter to have makeover out of desperation at her making no effort to look nice what so ever, I am not sure what is up with kids these days they either look like tarts or lads that don’t care. I promised her a new outfit and I knew of course that there would be a battle on my hands when I want to buy her something feminine so that was a bit of a trial and taking a daughter mother row into a salon was not on my agenda so I let her chose her own outfit that was not actually...

“double your money”

If you, like me, have been onto the New ID website and thought how cheap the deals are and then balked at the price of the prints and thought no way, do not leave the site. If you go onto the individual makeover page you will find a link that takes you to a page that tells you about putting the money you want to spend on your pictures in deposit with them before you go and if you do that they match the amount and this makes the prints at New ID far more affordable. I has such a great time at... (read more)

Totally loved New ID, had the most amazing time there, did not want to leave and was almost forcibly removed from the photoshoot because I was having so much fun I was pretty determined not to leave! The shoot was incredible. I was really shy to start out but I soon got over that. The very sweet young photographer who looked like she would not say boo to a goose took me in hand and got me doing some really cool poses, she really took control of the situation and I felt totally comfortable...

Written on: 15/10/2012 by hannasworld (1 review written)

New ID certainly did the trick for me. I wanted a new hair style after sporting the same one for about twenty years, I really thought that it was about time for a change. My regular hairdresser has just moved to Germany so I was high and dry wondering who to trust with my long locks. A friend of a friend had been to New ID for a makeover and her hair looked amazing so I decided that rather than just get a new look for my bonce I would go the whole hog and find out about how to get a whole...

I decided to take my daughters to New ID because they are both tom-boys and I really wanted them to have a more feminine looks about them!

I think that I have now officially become a New ID addict. I have just completed my third makeover in four years and I have also had four beauty on the go treatments and two makeup lessons so I think it’s fairly obvious that in my mind this company is great. The reason that I had two makeup lessons is that I wanted one for daytime and one for nighttime and I thought it was important to have separate lessons for both.
