Crew Listing


Description

I have just transitioned in March 2024 to a freelance hair/wig and make-up artist career.

I felt it was time to explore the film world. I worked on Bridgerton season 3 as a Crowd daily, and absolutely loved it.

I have worked at the Royal opera house the previous 23 years, ful time, as the hair and make-up manager for new productions. Overseeing any new opera, ballet going on main stage and The Linbury theatre. From meeting the designers and deciding the looks, to budgeting shows, prototyping, to overseeing the rehearsal process until opening night.

My strength is in both hair and make-up, with a specific passion for period wig dressing and hairstyling.


Special Interests

I have a very special interest in period hairstyling and period wig dressing as well as period make-up.

I have been teaching these skills at different schools.

I am the author of A practical guide to wig making and wig dressing, which came out in 2018.
