I have already had some work experience within theatre (Her Majesty’s Theatre and Chichester Festival Theatre) and experience in making prosthetics and ‘on set’ hair and makeup for a number of short films, musc videos and events. Key Skills:

Recent snaps from bridal trials and on the day hair when I remember to take pics, seems I've been doing a lot more glam than gore of late 😄 Also loving all the recent updos I've been asked to do!

A trial is so important for getting an idea of exactly what you would like for the final look on your special day and it's the first chance for a lot of brides to have that feeling glam moment before it all comes together on the day with the dress 🥰
