Hi, my name is Sam Hendry, Owner of Samuse Studio located at 111 union street. A fire started in a shop below where my studio is based which quickly spread into the buildings above causing catastrophic damage. I set up Samuse Studio in January 2024 from all my own savings and invested my life into creating this space. I have now lost everything, my kit which I spent years building up and was expensive as I tried to offer my clients the best makeup products possible on the market, makeup brushes, kit that I have owned since I started makeup. My chairs, my mirrors, my tables, work tops, and personal items too. Everything. I have lost everything in a blink of an eye due to this catastrophe and I need to start from scratch. Any help from anyone that has the ability to do so will go towards replacing my kit and finding a new space to work from and the furnishings to help with this.

I can’t believe this has happened, I am heartbroken for everyone involved and thinking of everyone that has also lost their business and livelihood.
