Bulldog products use amazing natural ingredients, are certified by Cruelty Free International, and are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Sherrille Riley, Founder/Director of Nails & Brows Beauty Mayfair Boutique: as a beauty therapist with more than 20 years’ experience of working in high end beauty spas under her belt, Sherille realised that there was a gap in the market for a quality haven for women to tend to these very important beauty treatments. She decided to merge the two industries and in 2014 launched Nails and Brows in exclusive Mayfair.
