Browse the work, then tell us about your day.
Credits
The brands and networks whose productions we have staffed. Real credits, not implied ones — and confidential Fortune 500 work is available to discuss directly with your team.
Additional Fortune 500 and agency work is covered by confidentiality and can be discussed directly. Certificates of insurance, W-9, and vendor onboarding paperwork are handled as a matter of course.
Disciplines
Six ways we help you look your best — each with its own pace and standard, so you always get a team that fits the job, not a one-size-fits-all artist.
Broadcast spots, digital campaigns, and branded content. A key artist owns the look and holds it across setups; additional artists keep the day on schedule. Continuity is the deliverable — face nine has to match face one, and hour eleven has to match hour one.
Headshot days, executive portraits, keynote and panel prep, earnings and press readiness. The person in the chair is not a model and does not want to look made up. The work has to read as a good day, not as makeup.
Fashion and beauty editorial, lookbooks, magazine features. Concept-led work where the brief is a reference deck rather than a spec, and the artist is expected to contribute to the look rather than execute someone else's.
On-air talent, anchor and contributor touch-ups, livestream, press conference and green room. Lighting is unforgiving and there is no second take, so the standard is different from print and the pace is different from set.
Glam bars, pop-ups, product launches, convention booths, influencer events. Activation beauty is a throughput problem as much as a beauty problem — a queue of guests, a public branded environment, and a clock.
The market we started in and still run at production standard. Sized to headcount, timed backward from first look, and staffed so the last person out of the chair is not the one holding up photographs.
The Portfolio
Filter by the kind of work you are actually booking — including before and after hair and makeup transformations. A bride and a festival activation are both hair and makeup and they have almost nothing else in common, so it is worth seeing the right ones.
Nothing in that category yet — try another filter.
More work, including confidential brand and Fortune 500 productions, can be shown directly on request.

We staff six disciplines: commercial and advertising, corporate and executive, editorial, broadcast, experiential and brand activation, and weddings and private events. Each has its own standard, pace, and staffing model — an artist who is excellent on a magazine set is not automatically the right call for a four-hundred-guest activation.
