Crew Listing


Description

I am a well-rounded, freelance hair and makeup artist based in Manchester with over 10 years experience, from television and film, to theatre, commercials, music videos, fashion, red carpet and bridal. In film, I have worked both on main teams and in the crowd room and excel in period productions due to my specialities with wig dressing and styling and executing authentic period makeup looks. I am also a Level 3 qualified barber and am highly trained in textured hair. I often work in managerial positions on theatre shows and as a makeup designer on shorts and indie films where I have the opportunity to oversee a project from prep and research to finish. I pride myself on the quality of my work and am constantly up-skilling and training to remain as up-to-date as possible in industry knowledge and techniques.
