Los Angeles hairstylist | The Beachwaver Collaboration

As a Los Angeles hairstylist, I collaborated with The Beachwaver. The Beachwaver is a female-founded company, they feel they have a responsibility and an obligation to develop products that are free of negative energy. With a dedicated focus on research and development, they continually innovating new products. They have an opportunity and a responsibility to make a positive impact and they are grateful for that every day.

The Beachwaver products are:

I love my job as a hairstylist and makeup artist and I enjoy working with a wide range of different looks and styles that my clients request. As a Los Angeles hairstylist, I mostly work on beauty, fashion, commercials, television, film, and movies.

Hair and makeup are a vitally important part of the filmmaking process, even if it’s not always obvious. Hairstylists and makeup artists help the director tell stories about characters and help the cinematographer make their vision a reality. As a hairstylist, I style the actors’ hair in whatever manner is required for the character.

I had an amazing time collaborating with The Beachwaver as a Los Angeles hairstylist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them for the future. As Hollywood pushes to become more diverse, as an expert makeup artist and hairstylist I’m more in demand than ever in order to properly prepare actors of diverse skin colors and hairstyles to be camera-ready. Thankfully to companies like The Beachwaver, my kit is fully stocked with the best hair products. They sent me their S1 ceramic rotating curling iron that provides easy, quality waves in minutes.

Los Angeles Hair Stylist | DevaCurl Partnership

As a Los Angeles hair stylist, I partnered with DevaCurl, salon-quality hair tools, and styling products that deliver healthy, naturally gorgeous, frizz-free curls.

About DevaCurl: DevaCurl started in New York City in 1994 as a salon specializing in curly hair. The salon became so popular that it launched a product line that is free of harsh ingredients and specifically designed for curly hair. The first Devachan salon was founded by Lorraine Massey and Dennis Da Silva in 1994 in New York City. Massey, a hairstylist, developed the “Curly Girl Method” and authored the book “Curly Girl: The Handbook” as guidelines for naturally curly hair care.

As a Los Angeles hair stylist, I’m in charge of the entire hair department, and I report directly to the production team and clients. I always love to try new products, DevaCurl sent me various amazing texture/volumizing sprays, dry shampoo, hair masks, and conditioners.

Curly Hair Tips and Tricks for Perfect Curls:

Always comb your hair from the bottom up.
Get regular trims to avoid split ends.
Use product “cocktailing” to define and hydrate curls.
Incorporate a conditioning treatment into your regimen.

The reason why I love DevaCurl products is that they have the best treatment for everyone. Curls with low porosity require lightweight products and heat treatments to look their best, while curls with high porosity need butters, oils, and proteins to keep them moisturized and healthy.

I had an excellent time collaborating with DevaCurl as a Los Angeles hair stylist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with him for the future.

Los Angeles Makeup Artist | COOLA Suncare Collaboration

As a Los Angeles makeup artist, I collaborated with COOLA, a wide range of organic and healthy sunscreen & skincare essentials. Sunscreen is the most important skincare product you can ever use.

A Broad Spectrum or Full Spectrum sunscreen protects your skin from the damaging exposure of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. There are two types of ultraviolet (UV) light, UVA and UVB.

UVA rays penetrate into the skin’s dermis prematurely aging the skin causing it to wrinkle and develop brown age spots.
UVB rays can burn the skin, they vary in intensity depending on the season, location, and time of day.

Using sunscreen daily, even when it is cloudy or raining, dramatically decreases your risk of developing skin cancer, keeps you looking young, and keeps your skin tone even. Even if you don’t burn easily, wearing sunscreen is still important.

COOLA is passionate about creating beautiful product experiences that embody a happy, healthy lifestyle. They believe that clean beauty should feel as good as it is healthy, which is why they’re on a quest to develop organic products you’ll love wearing every day.

Thankfully with many years of experience, I have my makeup kit fully equipped for every project. With the support of COOLA, I can have my suncare products fully stocked. Their products are great, I love to use them!

I had a wonderful time collaborating with COOLA, as a Los Angeles makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them in the future. Working with an excellent suncare brand such as COOLA is truly improved my abilities to provide the best for my clients.

Traveling Hair and Makeup Artist | Portrait Session in Croatia with Domagoj Horak

As a traveling hair and makeup artist, I’ve had the opportunity to work with fashion/portrait photographer Domagoj Horak on a portrait shoot session in Zadar, Croatia. Domagoj Horak is a Croatia-based photographer/videographer. He has a passion for design and digital marketing as well.

Domagoj Horak captured me in a Croatia traveling story while I visited the country. A good portrait draws attention to the model. This is normally achieved through some combination of a shallow depth of field, composition, color, and lighting. You should be able to look at a good portrait and know something about them. The best portrait artists can tell a whole story in a single image.

As a commercial makeup artist, I did my own hair and makeup. Dark Swan Of Denmark sent me an amazing set of lash collection so I used their lashes on this photoshoot session. For foundation, I used Paris Berlin and for eye shadows, I used the MAC Cosmetics palette. I wanted to keep my hair and makeup natural-looking and having a glowing skin tone. Natural makeup will enhance your features. It’s a simple approach that focuses on a few key areas – skin, eyes, and lips – and brings out your best in a subtle way. Natural makeup will never go out of fashion.

I had a great time collaborating with fashion / portrait photographer Domagoj Horak as a traveling hair and makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with him for the future.

Los Angeles COVID-19 Safe Makeup Artist | Aiden Health

As a Los Angeles COVID-19 safe makeup artist, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Aiden Health on a branded shoot in Los Angeles, California. I styled and did hair and make on 2 talents during this branded photo production. The wardrobe direction given by the client and photographer focused on PPE gears. For hair and makeup styles, we decided to go with camera-ready, natural looks.

About Aiden Health: They manufacture PPE products, including masks, gowns, gloves, and sanitizers. Across pricing, product quality, and shipping, they are committed to ensuring you always have the information you need. Aiden Health is led by a team of experts in healthcare, technology, and logistics.

A couple of tips and tricks to keep a safe environment on set:

I purchase cheap disposable brushes that are designated to one actor or model each and, at the end of the shoot, the brushes are thrown out. I want to ensure all of my clients that I take your health and safety seriously.
Sometimes I would ask the talents/models to bring their own brushes
I will be wearing the required PPE gear
Due to the social distancing guidelines, we can not let more than 2 people into the workspace unless we can maintain social distancing
20 seconds of handwashing at a clean and sanitized sink will be required for both of us before we begin the makeup session
I clean and sanitize all equipment used
Hand sanitizer will be ready and available for your entire makeup session

As a COVID-19 safe makeup artist in Los Angeles, I completed all the safety certifications including the Safe Sets International and Barbicide courses.

Safe Sets International‘s program is designed to communicate the most current health and safety information relevant to our community of filmmakers, producers, crew, and industry professionals.

Barbicide‘s online program is designed to present the most current information that is pertinent to the Professional Beauty Professional.

With the creative industries experiencing a huge amount of change during this difficult climate, it can be tricky for professionals to understand what it means to be ‘safe’ on set. As a professional makeup artist and hairstylist, my number one priority is to ensure safety on set during Covid-19.

A couple of tips and tricks in prior to the shoot:

I ensure that I have a plan for all talent that will require makeup, this way I know exactly what to bring to set
I communicated with all talents via email and confirmed their hair and makeup looks
Sanitized everything and whenever is possible I placed makeup in sample containers

Dennis Gross, M.D., is a board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon who has been in practice for 25 years. Creator of award-winning Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™, inspired by the skincare concerns of patients at his NYC practice. PETA appreciated and recognized Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare’s commitment to remaining cruelty-free.

The brand has sent me their amazing Dr. Dennis Gross Extra Strength Alpha Beta Peel product.

I enjoy using this peel product on my shoots since it is cleaning up beautifully my models/actor’s skin before I apply the makeup.

Thankfully with many years of experience, I have my makeup kit fully equipped for every project. With the support of Dr. Dennis Gross, I can have my skincare products fully stocked. Their products are great, I love to use them on my shoots.
