I am a licensed cosmetologist in California, and graduated with honors and was in the first 100 people in the country to be on the Dean's List at Paul Mitchell the School. I've worked for several photographers, fashion shows, and films, and can do a wide variety of styles.

I often tell photographers that I'm a hairstylist that does makeup. I don't consider myself a true makeup artist because a trained MUA will be better that I will, but I do have a full kit and would do a better job than the model if an MUA is not available, and I do good six makeup.

At this point I have 2 schedules to work around, but I will accept TFP/TFCD if I feel the project would contribute to my portfolio. I can rearrange my schedule around paid work, which always gets priority. For any TFP/TFCD shoots I do, I charge a $10 kit fee. If I am doing makeup, there is a $20 kit fee, or all supplies must be provided. THIS IS NON NEGOTIABLE as hair products/makeup are expensive. This is a very reasonable rate, which the model or the photographer can cover easily.

All that being said, I am very easy to work with. I can get along with anyone, and I hate drama. I'm always on time or early to shoots, and if I have a schedule to go off of, I will stay as long as requested for touch ups or new styles.
