After having qualified Internationally as a Makeup Artist, specializing in FX Prosthetics and Body Painting at the South African Hair and Make-up Design college Face to Face in 1998, I joined the Film industry based in Johannesburg. A year later I decided to branch out to the UK.

I further accomplished my passion in hairdressing and completed an intern-ship with Tony & Guy as a qualified hairdresser.

Soon after I was presented with an opportunity that drew me into working as a Makeup artist for Beauty Consultants Bureau – UK. Working with their top brands, Estee Lauder, Elizabeth Arden, Clarins Paris, Helena Rubinstein, Chanel, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Revlon, Mac, and Benefit in store.

Taking a refreshing change I decided to work in London’s West End, working on one of the most famous stage productions, ‘Les Misérables’.

There I had been contracted as the lead actors personal make-up artist and hair stylist for 6 months. I also trained under the traditional English theatre wig department making, dressing and setting 14th century period wig replicas. The replicas included beards, side burns, moustaches, and so forth for full production casts. Since then theatrical wigging, weaves and human hair extensions have become a favourite part of my work.
