Stylist Forum Meet and Greet
Hi, Everyone! I am a MUA in Atlanta, GA and I am also a FT Cosmetology Instructor with 10 years experience in the hair industry. I am currently a regional artist with Laura Mercier and I love every minute of it. I am currently looking for a few people to hang with and collaborate with some ideas since I am new to the area. I am originally from Columbus, but I have just moved here from VA. Sooo.. if there are any newbies out looking to seek hairstyling and makeup tips, holla back. Also looking to work with some of the experience MUA/Hairstylists as well. lol Teresas Jan 27 06 11:47 am Link Hey everyone! My name is Erin and I just joined recently and am overwhelmed with the outpour of information. I moved to new york via D.C. via L.A. via Seattle via Oregon. (I know ton of moves) Anyway I have only recently in the past year started to focus my career toward hair and make up. I was a teacher and for the past 11 years been bartending/serving. I now live in NYC and will begin the Aveda Cosmetology program to get my license. (i know i don't need it, but just in case i want to later work in a salon). I am incredibly interested in learning as much as I can from anyone who is willing to teach me or give advice. I really want to learn to Airbrush and FX. Anyone who needs an assistant I am interested. Thanks for all your advice and information. Erin Jan 31 06 09:06 pm Link Hi everyone! My name is Dayna, and I'm from Richmond VA. I am a makeup artist/beginning stylist. I have worked in makeup for 2 years now at MAC, where I am also the current store manager. I have been fortunate enough to meet a local photographer who is helping me build a beautiful portfolio. He shoots mainly bridal looks and has added me on to his "bridal package", so I get to have some semi-steady freelance opportunities. I am also working with a local aspiring talent, Del. I am his makeup artist and stylist. As he works on getting a demo CD I sit patiently and plan his look. We are planning on his fame to strike this year. It's very exciting, and who knows? But regardless of the putcome, his team has become like family and it is a great experience. Too bad we can't have a meet-up -- But if anyone is ever in the VA area, contact me! I never want to pass up an opportunity to meet someone new and learn a new trick of the trade! Feb 01 06 08:52 am Link Hi MMer's My name is Nikki. I just recently started a small stylis firm. I am just starting out. I have a degree in fine arts and my major was fashion design. I moved to NY about 8 months ago and I couldn't find any work beigng a designer. So I chose to act on my other first talent next to designing and that is being a stylist, so I could incorporate my designs, but i'm having a problem with that to. Any ideas for me anyone?

I have experience in Film, Television, Print and Music Video. I attended MUD, but mainly for character make-up. I am so happy we finally have our own forum. It will no doubt be the best. Rachel Feb 02 06 09:48 pm Link Hello, all! My name is Tony Mandile. I've been working as a special makeup FX artist here in New Jersey for 10 years now. I got my start with View Askew Productions on smaller Kevin Smith-produced films like "A Better Place" and "Big Helium Dog" and things began to snowball from there. In 2002, I had the privelage of creating some of the makeup FX for Fox Searchlight's "Broken Lizard's Club Dread". I've had the privelage of working with some cool people in the past like Bill Paxton, Jason Lee and Alice Cooper. My shop can now handle all foam latex prosthetic work, arylic dentures, props of all kinds and pneumatic and cable-controlled puppetry. My friend Maren turned me onto this site and I look forward to the day where I may get to work with one or more of you. Please check me out at www.anatomyfx.com Feb 06 06 12:16 am Link Wow...we are getting some serious talent on this thread and in this forum! Hopefully we can keep it growing strong. It is a pleasure to "meet" all of you! Feb 06 06 12:19 am Link Hey, i love your work and i recently started body painting too. I heard that there;s a finishing gun that works great with doing a whole body quick. Is that true and if so where can i get one? Feb 06 06 12:28 am Link Finishing gun, as in spray gun? You can use just about any HVLP (High Vloume Low Pressure) bursh, but overspray can get to be an issue...and personally the one I have doesn't work very reliably. I'm still looking for one I can use...but let's not hijack the thread...email me if you have any questions or ideas. ~Rich Feb 06 06 01:36 am Link Hi Everyone, My name is Belinda, I'm a makeup artist and hair stylist - I graduated in September 05 in London so I'm still a new girl and testing as much as I can getting my portfolio together. I've always loved makeup and dressing up - watching old hollywood movies as a child watching the credits to see if I could guess who had done the makeup and hair and costumes! I wasn't able to go to college and pursue what I wanted, so my previous careers I've been working in software telecommunications as a project manager, project advisor and process analyst, then moved into retail management and then decided if I don't do it now I never will - so gave up my job, spent my savings and am being supported by the best husband in the world while I follow my dreams, my passion... at last! I've always been a makeup addict much to the amusement of my friends and family and now they are glad I'm letting my suppressed energy and creativity out somewhere! This forum is fab and it's nice to know there are lots of cosmetic junkies out there too! It's great reading what you have to say and looking at what you all do -thank you for sharing!
