My father-in-law thinks the bulk of my job is simply turning other peoples' hair red to match my own (which in truth is never simply 'red' but ranges from fiery vixen to a lush, make-the-princesses-jealous pink). While he is missing the whole part where I use my expertise in styling, makeup, cut and color to create unique and worthwhile looks for everything from film projects and editorial photoshoots to fashion shows, weddings and TV interviews, what I think he is picking up on is that every time someone leaves my chair, there is a certain new spunk they carry with them. So thank you, Joe, I agree. The result of my job may be a look fit to shoot, but the goal has always been to share the power that comes from creatively expressing oneself. Being a hair and makeup artist is about creating and growing relationships. Cultivating a space where clients can learn what styles and products work for them. Excited to dive deeper into these ideals with the Beautytap community!
