Television Work
I have worked in the hair and makeup industry for 20 years, accumulating a wealth of experience alongside many well-known industry names. I have collaborated with the Charles Worthington Hair Salon at The Dorchester hotel, celebrity stylist Guy Kremer in Winchester, and Martin Maxey in Mayfair.
In addition to running my own successful hair salon, my work has been featured in magazines such as Red, OK, and Marie Claire. I have also worked on fashion shows for leading designers like Amanda Wakeley, Giorgio Armani, Betty Jackson, John Rocha, Red or Dead, and at London Fashion Week.
My television work includes using the latest airbrush makeup techniques required for High Definition television. Keeping up to date with the latest trends, styles, and techniques in hair and makeup is crucial, as looks can change dramatically from season to season. I am always eager to improve my skills and stay current with the latest in fashion, catwalk, bridal, and editorial looks through training at Beauty Base London School of Hair and Makeup, internationally acclaimed school of freelance fashion London Muse, and one-to-one intensive training with world-leading makeup artist Maggie Hunt.
All of these experiences have provided me with the professionalism, experience, and creativity needed to create any look for my clients, whether it be high fashion for the catwalk or demure glamour for brides.
I’ve been fortunate to work in my wonderful industry for 25 years, and during this period, I have accumulated a wealth of experience working alongside many renowned industry names—many of whom have been my work idols! Continuous learning and updating my skills alongside other talented professionals is essential to me in this ever-changing field.
