JOHN HOFFMAN PHOTOGRAPHY Portfolio Shoot

Our very own award winning stylist, Miss Whitley-Belle attended a portfolio shoot with the prestigious John Hoffman Photography whom specializes in head shoots and actors portfolios from his Nottingham based studio.

It's an exciting time of year as we want with all our fingers, toes and legs crossed to hear if our very own Miss Whitley-Belle has been nominated for a prestigious National Vintage Awards: Vintage Grooming & Styling Award. As great preparation for the Oscarsesque award ceremony for the UK Vintage Glitterati are under way, The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour team asked John Hoffman Photography Miss Whitley-Belle decided to get "Camera Ready" here's a sneak preview of some of the results and we think they look FAB!

Here is what the wonderful John of John Hoffman Photography had to say about working with Miss Whitley Belle:

"I recently had the great pleasure of working with the delightful Miss Whitley Belle from Nottingham's finest - The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour.
Miss Whitley Belle has been twice nominated for the National Vintage Awards for Styling and Grooming. Her passion, knowledge and skill for Vintage Beauty styling makes the Little Vintage Beauty Parlour the place to go in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire region for an authentic vintage beauty experience.
Miss Whitley Belle visited our Nottingham City Centre Studio (we are located upstairs from the Parlour so not too far) for a quick photoshoot in between clients - it was a busy day so we had to work quickly.
As you will see from the couple of images here, not only is this woman THE go-to person for that authentic vintage experience - she is rather beautiful.
There will be more images as soon as Miss Whitley Belle gets the time to drop by again.
So, when you and the women in your life want to treat yourselves to that "special something", then get down to the Little Vintage Beauty Parlour, ask for Miss Whitley Belle, tell her you want the good stuff, and don't forget to mention that John sent you!"

Fighting Teenage Cancer Fabulously

HELPING TO FIGHT CANCER FABULOUSLY

The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour were super privileged to be asked to provide a series of Tea, Cake & Pamper events at the Teenage Cancer Trust Units at Nottingham's City & QMC NHS Hospitals over the past few weeks, providing young ladies with their very own private tea party and vintage inspired makeovers.

Armed with our signature vintage pinnies, styling trolley and a basket of Afternoon Tea goodies, Miss Whitley-Belle and The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour Team set about our fabulous task at hand by greeting small groups of awe inspiring young ladies and their parents all eager for a huge dose of old skool Hollywood style glamour, lovingly served up with a cloud of hairspray, the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack, a  dash of red lipstick and huge homemade scones. 

 

The group of exceptional young ladies greeted us with their huge smiles and positive attitudes as a much needed respite from the day-to-day struggle of their illnesses, round of treatments and medication and have the opportunity to laugh, giggle and talk about make up and their favorite bands as all teenage girls like to do whilst their parents and carers chatted over a good old cup of cha served in an good old china cup and saucer.

"At The Little Vintage Beauty Parlour we don't just apply make-up and style hair, we create memories and  build confidence, helping to make ladies feel wonderful inside makes them feel beautiful on the outside."

 Alarmingly. around seven young people aged between 13 and 24 are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. They ALL need expert treatment and support from the moment they hear the word ‘cancer.’ The Teenage Cancer Trust are the only charity dedicated to making this happen.
