Delxue Makevoer at New ID Studio
I got my fifty pounds voucher for my Deluxe Makeover for fifty pounds. This voucher included the makeover that is hair cut, blow dry and finish, makeup with the awesome New ID cosmetics and of course the photo shoot and the viewing session. On top of that they give you twenty five pounds credit towards the shots that you want to buy, that start at fifty pounds and you also get as many glasses of Bucks Fizz as you want and some View ID software for your computer. I got a 9am appointment and arrived to be offered Bucks Fizz, that I turned down because even I do not start drinking at that time in the morning. I did however had a great cup of coffee and then had my hair done. I was impressed with the style that does suit me, even though It is not what I would have picked for myself. The makeup was the same, looked great, this is why New ID is so good, and its great to see a style consultant rather than just stick to what you would normally pick. Having the photos taken was good fun and the pictures that came about an hour later for viewing were great. I chose six shots of various different sizes. I looked pretty incredible in the shots and would say that New ID does everything that it says on the tin!

New iD
I loved my fashion makeover with New ID, I caught it at a time they were doing a double your money deal that basically means what ever amount you deposit before you go to buy the pictures with they match if you put down two hundred pounds you get to spend four hundred. The pictures are not cheap, although they are inline with what other places are charging, so it is well worth making sure you have put the money down in the first place. The studio is great, the makeover was wonderful and I learnt heaps about makeup application. The photo session was awesome and the picture came out great. Ten out of ten from me on this one! I cant fault the makeover, the staff, the price or the service.

New iD
I had a very nice makeover with this company and would be happy to recommend them to anybody that needs a lift, wants to look and feel good and has half a day to enjoy some serious pampering My day included a consultation, a hair wash, cut and blow dry, professional make-up application, a photo shoot in four different outfits, a private viewing session a free print and free drinks the whole time I was there and it was Bucks Fizz. I only paid twenty five pounds for all this and thought that it was excellent value. It took six weeks for my prints to show up which was a bit of a disappointment but other than that it was very worth while and I very much enjoyed the experience. I will use New ID again in the future if I ever feel the need for another makeover just for the hair cut alone as it was one of the best I have had. The makeup is very reasonably priced as well.

All Smiles at New ID
You cant beat Burlingtons for hair, they have been around for as long as I can remember and I use them, my mum used them and her mum used them too so when my friend told me she was going for a Makeover with New ID and they were in partnership with them I thought it would be a great idea for me to go along too and the mad thing is that when you have a makeover it is cheaper than having your hair done anyway so you end up paying less to get your hair done and on top of that you get free drinks, a free picture, a photo session and your makeup done by a professional makeup artist so when you think about it there is now way that you can go wrong with that, I was really excited about the whole thing and with good reason because while we were there we had a great time, I finally learnt how to do those amazing smoky eyes with makeup, the New ID lady was great and showed me exactly how to do it and I have been doing it ever since, I brought the New ID cosmetics that she used because they were not expensive and they looked great on me when she did it and I didn’t want to risk buying some other stuff that was not as good, plus on the day I had mine done I was still looking just as great about eight hours later, the New ID stuff has some serious staying power I will say that for it and it is a lot better than the stuff that I used to buy that was considerably more expensive. The hair was just as good as it always is, I never have any complaints about Burlingtons and my hair. The photos bit was a hoot, I actually wanted to have one picture of me looking fairly serious but it was so much fun I was laughing and having fun in all of them, I cant remember the last time I had so much fun, the pictures are not cheap but by golly they were worth it , I have fond memories of the day every time I see mine and it reminds me to make a bit of an effort when it comes to going out at night as well, very inspirational

I really Enjoyed New ID
I thought that New ID was very good value for money. My makeover was twenty five pounds, it included dry hair styling, professional makeup, of course the photographic session, a free print and free drinks for the duration of the makeover, and they were alcoholic so I thought that was very cheap. The photos I had to pay extra for but they were only fifty pounds each for the small ones, that sounds like a lot but not when you think what has gone into the makeover or the time you spend with a professional photographer and that is to mention nothing of the amazing quality of them, they were certainly a lot better than I had expected and I looked a lot better in them than I had expected as well, they made me look amazing, I was well impressed. I would find it hard to fault the service and would be more than happy to use them again and I would be very confident in recommending their services.

New ID do great makeovers at a great price
I really enjoyed having a makeover and photo shoot with New ID for many reasons. For one the staff are really friendly and make you feel really welcome I found this particularly great because my normal hairdresser, although really good at cutting hair works in a really snotty salon that I can never wait to get out of! I would like to mention that Burlingtons at New ID did just as good a job and the price of the makeover was literally a quarter of the price that I normally pay for my haircut. The staff give you a full consultation before you start on the makeover so you know exactly what to expect and they know exactly what you expect, this is great and gives you a lot of confidence in the experience and makes it more enjoyable. Quality is a word that applies to just about everything at New ID, the make-up, the hair products, the skill of the photographer and the prints are all amazing. The only down side is that you don’t get your prints on the day you have to order them and they send them to you, this can take several weeks and is about the only thing that is not mentioned on the website so be aware of that if you are going to use the prints as a present as I was. The free drinks are Bucks Fizz, it is OK but they don’t exactly use the best quality champagne to make them but hey, for the price of the makeover I was more than happy. I loved New ID and am happy to give them a recommendation.

New ID do amazing makeovers
I had an absolutely wonderful time at New ID in Birmingham, it was splendid. My day started with a really warm welcome from the receptionists. I had a lovely hair cut from a very friendly stylist who really transformed my hair from sort of hanging around my shoulders looking dowdy to piled on top of my head looking like something out of Hollywood! After that I was taken care off by a lovely lady who had been doing make up for ten years and she told me she still loved doing it, her enthusiasm was amazing and the results were astounding, I could hardly recognize myself with the make up and the hair. I had another bucks fizz and get myself together for the photo shoot, I had no idea what to expect and was feeling very shaky about the whole thing but the girls made me feel great and helped me pick some outfits from the bag of clothes that I brought along. The shoot was awesome and the pictures were great I can’t fault this company.

I loved New ID
I thought the deluxe makeover at New ID was marvelous. The value for money was exceptional and a lot better than I expected. I was not hoping for anything too amazing for the price as like many others I normally spend more than that just having my haircut so I was ready for it to be pretty rubbish. In fact the opposite was true. It was top notch all round. The standard of the hair styling was incredible and I would be very happy to use them to have a hair cut again. The same goes for the makeup. I was very impressed with the New ID home brand cosmetics and purchased several of them. All of the salon staff were incredibly friendly, they were also very professional. I think the experience was a lot of fun, well worth doing and great value. The cost of the photos are a little prohibitive to be honest unless you are fairly wealthy but you are under no obligation to buy more than you want to and you get a free one anyway so it works out great.

A super afternoon at New ID
I had a cracking time at New ID and I think the place deserves some kind of award. I felt and looked a million dollars after the hair dresser and the makeup woman had worked their little miracles on me, it was like so amazing. I am never that good at putting makeup on, I have tried and tried to make myself look the way other girls seem to be able to do in no time at all but I always end up looking silly. What I loved about New ID is they show you how to use the products and then if you go onto their product website each and every product has this unique and really useful little video that comes with it that shows you how to use it, so even if you forget or you get home and look at the little face chart and wonder how on earth you are going to do that again you do not have to worry all you have to do is log to the New ID cosmetic site and it is all there for you. I had an incredibly good time having the photos done and this was not at all what I expected it was way more friendly and laid back than I thought it was going to be and I looked a whole heap better than I expected to look in the photos. I thought I was going to cringe to death in the photo viewing session but actually I swelled up with pride because I looked so amazing. I have to hand it to New ID they really know what they are doing and I had a really incredible time.

My Makeover at New ID
I would definitely recommend New ID. They offer some great makeovers and they come in a full range of prices as do the prints you can buy at the end so you can go along and enjoy no matter what sort of budget you are on. The website is very comprehensive and packed full of all the information you need. The customer service department are very helpful and efficient and the makeover staff are professional and friendly and do a great job of making you look stunning. The salon is great, very clean with a nice atmosphere and the photoshoots are amazing. The prints or CD are not what one would call bargain but they are high quality and good value for money. This is something I would most certainly like to do again.

Great makeover at New ID
I was a bit nervous about going to New ID because I have suffered from severe acne all of my life and hate having my picture taken and when I do have it taken it has to go through about five hours photoshop before I am even happy to put it on my facebook. I got there feeling very self conscious and very unsure of myself. I told the consultant exactly how I felt and she was great about it. She told me that they had lots of different tricks to make my condition look ok in the pictures and as well as that they do a service where they airbrush the shots. I had my hair done first and was very happy with that. My hair is long and in very good condition and I was very happy that they styled it nicely and did not cover it in product that can often make your hair look very dull. I was incredibly impressed with the makeup lady who started off by telling me how to look after my skin in a way that would help my condition and she recommended some great products to me that have really helped a lot so that has given me even more confidence in the company since I left. She did such a great job of my makeup and the consultant was right, the shots hardly showed any of my spots up. I learned such a lot about using makeup to disguise my spots, there was one shot that was really great but the light did show up my skin so I had that one touched up but the rest were fine and that shoes how talented both the makeup artists and the photographer were. The shots are not cheap at New ID but if you are like me and all you have ever wanted is to look good in pictures then this is well worth the money.

New ID
Yesterday I had a makeover with New ID and I thought it was fantastic. It was nothing I would have thought about doing really, I only went because I got the voucher as a gift from my sister who knew I had been feeling down and wanted to cheer me up, and cheer me up it did. I loved every second of being in that amazing salon with all its great atmosphere and all the great products in there and of course the New ID team that put it all together and make it happen for you, it’s almost magical the way it works. I have never exactly been camera shy but with the amazing hair and makeup they did for me I was wild in front of the camera and the shots that came out were on fire. I didn’t think that they were going to be anywhere near as good as they came out I was blinded by them I really was. Even though the prints, or the images in CD are not cheap I do think they are great value for money because the makeover vouchers are so cheap and you get so much out of it. It is not just the hair and the makeup and the free drinks and the photo session, it’s the confidence that it gives you when you see how good you can look. That kind of thing I don’t think you can value in pounds. I came out a new woman and would be happy to recommend New ID to anybody.

Enjoyed the Makeover at New ID
I felt very happy with my makeover at New ID from start to finish. The website caught my eye first off, I thought it was very easy to use and there was a lot of information on it that I found very useful. The booking process was very easy and they sent me an information pack. My booking was efficiently on the phone and I felt a very warm welcome from the New ID receptionist who was lovely. The team made me look and feel fabulous and I was more than a bit impressed with the photos that I saw just less than an hour after I had them taken. It found it very hard to choose between them and also very hard to resist the credit terms that would have meant that I could have brought more of them but I just kept asking myself where I would have put all of the shots. I was offered a disc but the shots are not cheap so I just stuck to the four that I had planned on budgeting for when I made the appointment and also got a free one as part of the makeover deal that I got that included hair and makeup as well as free drinks, both soft and alcoholic and a private viewing session as well as the photographer and the shoot in the private studio. I only paid fifty pounds for the makeover and thought that I got a lot for my money. Can’t really fault New ID. I have not had a makeover anywhere else so I don’t have anything to compare it with but I thought it was jolly good.

So impressed with New ID
I was planning on going for a makeover a few years ago with a friend but when we looked online we found that both of the studios that we were considering were getting very bad reviews so we decided to go and do something else instead. Then a few months ago it came up in conversation again and I had another look and was surprised to find that one company seems to have gone completely and New ID seem to be getting rave reviews so we decided to give it a go and we had the most amazing time. We were blown away by the staff who were ultra cool and really friendly and did us both amazing makeover with great hair and great makeup. The shoot was brilliant we both loved being in front of the camera and we got some really amazing shots. We loved every last second of it and did not have the delay between treatments we read about and there was no hard sell, nothing that was anything less than really good, really friendly and really professional service. I would recommend New ID to anybody its great! If there is any down side at all? the shots are not cheap but the deals are!

A lovely makeover at New ID
I was really nervous about having my makeover with New ID even though it is something that I have wanted to do for a long time. On the day I went I felt really overwhelmed about it all a because I have had the same hair style for years and I have never had my makeup done professionally let alone stand in front of a professional photographer on my own and in front of lots of lights and other people. I was a bit of a nervous wreck by the time I got there but the staff were marvelous. They sat me down and gave me a glass of Bucks Fizz and plenty of time to ask them questions. I met all of the team who were all very nice and very friendly and I felt totally relaxed after about five minutes. It was amazing. The hair dresser was lovely and gave me the most amazing cut, I wish I had done this years ago. The makeup was really interesting and I have brought a new eyeliner from New ID something that I have never really used before but even after one short makeup session there I feel very confident that I know how to use it. The photoshoot was not at all nerve racking and I really enjoyed it and that gave me a lot of confidence. I think new ID has sort of changed my life really. The makeover was fifty pounds, lasted four hours and included a free print.

I really liked New ID
Very good service all round at New ID. I have had makeovers in the past with other companies and this one was by far the best I have had. The makeup and hair products were very impressive and both the staff, the hairstylist, the makeup artists and photographers were really creative and did a lovely job of making me shine! I felt very happy and comfortable with the lovely photographer who really knew his stuff and had flair and imagination instead of just a bunch of boring old portrait shots. I was delighted with the choice of shots to chose from and thought the Bucks Fizz was amazing, I love bubbles. Studio was pretty easy to find thanks to the useful map on the New ID site. The makeup was easy to do by myself again when I got up the next day thanks to the useful face chart and the affordability of the products. I was very happy with my wonderful Makeover at New ID

Great hair styling and makeup at New ID
New iD were a totally mystery to me when my sister presented me with a voucher, I had never really heard of makeovers other than the ones on the TV so had a good look at their website and then could hardly wait to go along. The before and after picture alone convinced me that I should have done this years ago. I went along at 1pm and they right away gave me a glass of bubbly, I was in heaven. They then proceeded to do my hair like it has never been done before, they made it look amazing and full of waves that lasted the rest of the day. I hate having straight hair. The makeup was a miracle, it really was, it took years off me and I loved it so much I brought most of the cosmetics they used that day as well and they are not at all expensive. Both the girl that did the makeup and the girl that did my hair were really lovely, chatty and friendly and very conscientious as well. The girl that took my pictures was just as nice and very soon got me to throw away the nervousness that I felt when I first went in. it was such a pleasure working with her. I would not even stop to think about recommending New ID they have a really fabulous set up!

Two guys at New ID
Me and my mate went along and had a makeover. Our wives had been and had one and never stopped going on about it and also never stopped banging on about how great they look in the pictures that they now have all over our respective houses. We thought we would go along for the crack and replace their pictures with ours when they were away for the weekend. We did not expect to have a good time or enjoy it anywhere near as much as we did. This place is a blast. We both loved the girls that work there, they were great fun and loved the reason we were there but in the end we were taking it pretty seriously. The hair cuts we both got were amazing and we will be going back there for sure. We loved the makeup they did for us, and guys you cannot tell that you are wearing any in the shots, you can take my word for that. We were a right couple of posers in the shoot that was really cleverly done in the small space that they have there with backgrounds and props that made each shot look really different. We brought way more shots that we planned on doing and surprised the living daylights out of our wives when we got back. This is a man friendly place and great fun as well as great value for money and great quality.

Deluxe Makeover at New ID
The deluxe package at New ID is really good value for money. I brought the voucher online for only fifty pounds. It includes twenty five pounds towards the prints, so that is half the cost of the deal already back, you get free Bucks Fizz, if you drink enough of that you have almost paid it off already and of course you get a professional hair cut and style, your makeup done, a private photoshoot with a professional photographer and a private viewing session afterwards it is amazing. This is one of the best value things I have ever done. The prints at the end of it or the images on a CD are not quite as affordable but they are really amazing. I had every intention of buying one of the amazing photo frames but was so impressed with the pictures I spend my entire budget on those too. I want to say a bit thank you to the staff at New iD who made me look and feel totally incredible and they gave me a really memorable experience.

It really is a miracle
Whoever decided to state that makeovers are like miracles on the New Id website was not joking. I honestly went along thinking I would get an average hair cut, some makeup put on and some photos that didn’t look much different than I have already! The voucher I got for New ID was a gift and I was not going to go but curiosity got the better of me and I found myself booking in at New ID. I got a great welcome and then sat with a consultant/style consultant that spent a long time with me working out what kind of new hair style to go for and what sort of makeup would suit the four outfits that I took. I had not intended to go for a radically new haircut but that is what I did and it has taken years of me and looks better and healthier than it has every looked before and is probably the only real style I have ever had. I am so glad that I trusted them. The makeup was amazing as well, I have never felt so glamorous right until most of it ended up running down my face at the floods of tears that I was in when I saw the resulting pictures. These tears were of tears of joy, I have never been more amazed at how I looked and the next big surprise I got was the fact that I virtually maxed out my credit card on the incredible prints that are due to turn up in a few weeks. My ego has gone through the roof by going to New ID and my only regret is that I did not do it so much sooner.

Makeover with New ID makeover and photoshoot studio
I very much enjoyed being at New ID makeover studio even though I was convinced I would not like it. I went along with my daughter who purchased the voucher online and got a two for one deal directly off the New ID website. She was going to go with a friend who had to cancel at the last minute so I went along with her instead, very reluctantly I might add. I really did not want to get my hair cut by anybody other than the girl in our village that I have been using for years and was not at all happy that Sally, my daughter was determined that I should go for a new style. I really liked the girl that did our welcome consultation and she showed me some pictures of possible styles and there was one I liked so with a very deep breath I let them cut my hair and thankfully I was delighted at the result. I would use them again for to have a hair cut if I did not have such loyalty to my current hairdresser. I am not one for a lot of makeup so found the amount you have to have on here for the cameras rather daunting but thankfully in the shots you could not tell how much I had on at all and it worked out perfectly, in fact it has given me a bit of an interested in using makeup and being a very busy woman with little such time for these things that is really saying something. I did not think I would want a lot of prints and if find it a bit vane to have pictures of oneself all over the walls but for some reason I have eight coming to me in the post. New ID is really rather good and I am glad that I went!

Make me beautiful, New ID!
My sister went to New ID and she raved and raved about it, I have never heard her go on so much about anything in my entire life! I really thought there was something wrong with her, I mean how good can this makeover really be, anyway then the pictures turned up, it took about six weeks to get them, I was starting to think that she was making it all up! They were the most amazing pictures I have ever seen of her and even I could not stop looking at them or talking about them, there was no way I was going to sit back and not go myself, so I got online found a good deal and found myself in front of the New ID team saying hey, I wannna huge slice of this action, make me up and lets get ready to go! My sister is a lot better looking than me anyway, she is always the one that gets all of the attention and as a youngster I found men that wanted me right up until they met her, I got used to being the ugly duckling so I was not expecting my pictures to look anywhere near as great as hers but I wanted to at least have a go, but I kid you not I looked stunning in the pictures, I really could hardly believe that it was me, I have never looked anywhere near that good and I would have not been ashamed to put one of my pictures on the wall next to hers. That was five weeks ago, I am sure that my pictures are going to get here soon, I cant wait to see them, I have been totally transformed by New ID, I now have a much better idea of how to use makeup and I cant wait to see how great my prints are and I want to highly recommend this amazing experience!

Two friends at New ID
My friend and I totlaly loved New ID. We got a two for one deal on the fifty pounds deluxe deal and that made it really affordable. At the time you got a free branded print with every deal but I think now they give you twenty five pounds towards the cost of the prints that you chose at the end of the experience. We went few months ago, I have been meaning to write this review for ages. We were a bit concerned about how heavy the makeup would be put on as we have read a few other reviews that say it goes on real thick. We wanted to go to a party directly after the shoot so we took along a lot of makeup remover and our own makeup in case but there was really no need, yes it was a bit more heavy than it would normally have done but it was fine to go out with and we both really loved the way that they did our makeup and our hair as well. We had such blast in the shoot and had some portrait shots done that were quite serious and then some fun shots both alone and together. The whole thing was a really amazing experience and I would love to go back and do it all again, I am sure that at some point in the future we will do just that.

New ID
I liked my makeover with New ID. I was really impressed with the hairdressing. My hairdresser has just retired and that was how I found out about New ID in the first place. I was online looking for a new place to go and was reading reviews about other hairdressers and then found New ID. I was surprised to find that the mid range package was less than I normally paid for a haircut and style anyway so thought why not. As it turned out it was every bit as good as my old stylist did and I got the makeup and of course the shoot and the viewing session to boot. Of course on top of that you also get Bucks Fizz to drink and a bit of a rush to the old ego when you see how great they have just made you look. I was sure I was going to be a bag of nerves in the shoot but even that was really laid back and relaxing and it got some really amazing shots from it. Make sure you have taken a look on the New ID site so you know what you are up to in terms of the price of the prints before you go and make sure you take a good look at the frames they have some really nice ones that almost missed and like the cosmetics they are pretty affordable.

Incredible pictures from New ID
I really enjoyed my makeover and photoshoot experience with new id/burlingtons. I spent just over four hours, but I can honestly say it was so much fun it just flew by. The studio is clean and very pleasant and there is so much going on. I found the people watching aspect of seeing others have a makeover almost as enjoyable as watching myself transform from dull housewife into a super model of sorts! I went on a Friday and it was busy but I didn’t have to wait more than about fifteen minutes for any of the treatments, despite having read a lot of reviews that moan about the waiting times the posters have had to endure between treatments. The pictures are not that cheap as prints or on a CD but like the makeovers there are a lot of different deals to choose from so you can spend as much or as little as you can afford really. I would highly recommend New ID to anybody really I had a super time and would go again but probably would not buy quite as many photos next time, I have four up on the walls and have no idea where to put the other three! I just could not resist them so be prepared!
