HAIR

We have the most experienced Hair Stylist as part of our team.

Theresa has worked in London, Scotland, Australia and is now back in Central Otago. She has worked with a multitude of diverse hair types. Being a cutting and colourist specialist she brings with her an amazing skill set and her mantra is “there is nothing she cannot do”.

Beachy waves, Hollywood curls, low messy buns, plaits, braids, hair extensions, blow waves, wig work - she’s a master!

Having also worked for fashion shows and weddings for over 35+ years she can do anything you wish. She doesn’t just GHD curl styles, she is traditionally trained and uses rollers/setting techniques/pinning and all sorts of other genius old school methodologies that will have your style looking perfect and lasting the duration of your event.

Helicopter and dance floor ready. We often have clients who say their hair lasts till the next day!

MAKE UP

We are here to make you you look your absolute best! From a wedding day bride through to a client promoting their product or stills for editorial shots. We have you covered and catered for. We are trained in all areas of makeup.

Listening to our Clients is our forte. Understanding a brief and sticking to it.

From TV/Film, Catwalk, Photographic and Editorial shoots through to wedding and special occasion makeup. I know, understand and am trained in the correct techniques required for the specific Central Otago lighting and colours found here during all seasons. From cool winter hues to brighter sun in summer, I adapt my makeup techniques and application methods to suit the job.
