Originally booked into the Westfield studio, which closed down before our session. No-one bothered to re-book this for us, luckily I double checked out appointment to then find this out. When I did manage to re-book it I was met by a very rude and arrogant male member of staff (John Princes Street location) before being dealt with by a female who was a lot friendlier. The day itself was not a wonderful experience. It was OK. The lady that re-booked us was lovely, hairdresser didn't say a... (read more)

Great quality makeover with New ID. The only think you need to know is the prices of the prints that are all on the New ID website but to give you an idea the 5 x 7 print is 50 pounds, the 12 x 16 is 99 pounds and the biggest that is 20 x 24 is 249 pounds. One negative on CD is 100 pounds and a full CD of 20 is 1400 pounds. As you can see from that the images are rather on the pricy side although the actual cost of the makeovers is very low and starts at 20 pounds if you want makeup and a... (read more)

I had such an amazing time at the Birmingham branch of New ID when I went there for a makeover. The voucher was a gift from a friend that I got for looking after her dogs while she went on holiday, I was in two minds to start out with but after I had a look at the website I thought it looked like just what I needed, I have been walking around with the same look for as long as I can remember so as I have a friend in Birmingham so I went to stay there the day before and took advantage of the...

I was trying to figure out what to get my daughters for Christmas when a friend of mine told me that she is getting her kids vouchers to get makeovers. I had a look at New ID online on her advice and thought it was an amazing idea. If you pay before you go for the shots New ID match the amount you put down so I decided to get them each a voucher and put two hundred pounds toward the prints for them that range from fifty pounds to two hundred and forty nine. I then decided that I would go and... (read more)

I went to New ID for my makeover and from the experience I had I think it is fair to say that I rate them pretty highly. The good things are that the makeup is great, I love New ID cosmetics, they last for ages and they come in really cool shades, the way the woman did my makeup was great. She did a chart for me that detailed what she put where, I have brought all of the products that she used on me, to be fair my makeup does look a lot better than it used to but it is not really like she...

I found the deluxe makeover to be very successful at New ID. I went on the recommendation of a friend and after I had read so many positive reviews online about them. One of the few negatives things that I have read about this company is that there is often a lot of time that you are in the salon but not doing anything. After I purchased the voucher online I phoned to make the appointment and asked if they could recommend a day to me where I would not be left hanging around as I can’t... (read more)

I had a deluxe makeover at New ID a few years ago and to be honest it was not that good. The salon was a bit chaotic and I was there for about six and a half hours, nobody told me about the wait time and the hard sell was just awful.

Pretty much everything was perfect when I went to New ID to take part in a makeover and photoshoot. I was told on the phone by the lady that took my booking that it could be very busy as I was going on a Saturday and I could expect to be there for up to six hours and to take food and a book.

My New ID makeover went pretty well. I enjoyed being in the salon, the makeup was great, I was overwhelmed with how well they did my hair and the photoshoot was a really wonderful experience. The down sides to the day were that a large proportion of the time in the salon is spent waiting around for the staff t be available to do your hair, makeup and take your pictures and I had to wait over an hour to see the prints. The value I thought was very good as I only paid fifty pounds for the... (read more)

When I first heard about New ID I thought having a makeover sounded like a lot of fun. Then I checked out their website and to be honest the makeovers as so cheap I thought the quality would be no good. I mean really you can go there and just come away with your free print and no more so they are only getting twenty five pounds out of you to do your hair and makeup, put you in front of a photographer and give you free Bucks Fizz.

Completely agree with the above. Please avoid and spend a little more money on a professional company. Complete waste of time and money, awful photos and horrific make-up.
