I recently did hair and makeup for a fashion shoot with photographer Kathy Matthews. We shot the images at Studio 20e, home of Simon Green Photography. It was as always a fun shoot and here are a few images from the day. Kathy has used them for a magazine that she has designed called Fuel.

New Hair Style

suzanna — Tue, 17 May 2011 09:35:46 +0000

One of the dangers of taking a hairdressing course is that there is always someone on hand to cut your hair when the whim takes you So after several years of growing my hair I finally gave in and had it all chopped off. I actually had it cut twice in less than a week. I now have a lovely fresh short hairstyle that will be much easier to maintain. The next step will be some exciting colours. I will post a picture when the transformation is complete.

On Saturday 18th June 2011 at the Ritz in Penzance Bedlam will run it’s first metal & rock night

Bedlam is the name for regular music events starting in the darkest, dampest corner of Cornwall and travelling to other venues. We will be taking the best bands we come across with us, with the aim of showing everyone the quality of Cornish Rock and Metal music.
The first event will feature some fantastic bands including Broken, Ex Inferis, Beryllium, Kaideka and Devils Creek with the amazing Hi-on Maiden headlining plus a rock and metal DJ, dancers, drinks specials and a fantastic atmosphere .

The event will be open to age 16+ as we are well aware that there are plenty of amazing young musicians and music fans out there who usually get left out.
The Bedlam events are all about supporting local bands and giving them something to aspire to by bringing bigger bands into the area.
Bedlam is also about providing great live music to the people of Cornwall.

Tickets are on sale now from www.thesoundofbedlam.com
Also available from Steckfensters, The Big Dance Company and Music Box, all in Penzance

Tickets are £8, a bargain for a night of utterly fabulous music and entertainment

Doors open at 7pm

Bridal Makeup

suzanna — Tue, 10 May 2011 10:16:26 +0000

I have had a busy weekend this week with bridal makeup trials. On saturday I travelled to the beautiful Rosemullion Hotel in Falmouth for hair and makeup trials for Sara & Abi. They are having their civil ceremony in July. As my first hair clients I was a little nervous but they both put me at ease and the resulting styles were simple yet beautiful. It complemented their makeup a treat.

While in falmouth I popped along to see my dear friend Lily of Pretty Things From Pickle, she was attending the Lemon Popsicle Vintage Fair at the methodist church in Falmouth. Although the start of the day was a bit wet…it actually poured down all morning! The afternoon saw beautiful sunshine so a good end to the day.

Sunday was an early start, I was in the studio for 08.30 to do a makeup trial for Harriet, also getting married in July. A completely different look for Harriet, a little stronger than Saturday’s makeup but just as stunning, even if I do say so myself

I am really looking forward to both weddings. I will get to work with my lovely husband, Simon at Sara & Abi’s wedding as he is their wedding photographer!

Fun Hairstyling for sweet themed shoot

suzanna — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:59:26 +0000

On Thursday last week I spent the day with photographer Chrisitna Draper and makeup artist Sally Orchard and two very brave models to create a sweet inspired photoshoot. Along with lots and lots of hairspray and some very yummy props we created some very vibrant images.

I spent nearly two hours styling one models very long hair into a huge mane of frizzy loveliness. The other model had a more modern funky hairstyle. Both were then passed onto Sally who transformed them with some awesome makeup. It did feel a little strange watching someone else do the makeup, but it was great to watch Sally work.

Christina then managed to photograph the girls despite being on crutches after a major hip operation!

I can’t wait for the next collaboration :)

Hair Competition Win

suzanna — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 15:31:37 +0000

On Wednesday 16th February I travelled to Truro College with several other students from Penwith College for the Cornish Skills day. There were competitions in nails, beauty, complimentary therapies and hairdressing. Over 180 students from across Truro and Penwith took part in the day, culminating in a catwalk show and awards presentation.

I was entered into the Level 1 Hairdressing category with the theme of ‘clubbing’. It was a very nerve racking morning but i took a deep breath and concentrated on styling my models(Lily Pickles) hair into a modern clubbing inspired ‘do’.
There were some important judges scrutinising my and the other candidates work, one being the award winning hair stylist Steve Smart, (the one i most wanted to impress).

Once we had finished our looks we had the four hour agonising wait until after the catwalk show to find out if we had achieved enough marks to get a medal.
Our category was the first to be announced and when the 2nd place went to my colleague from Penwith I thought “ok we have won something” but didn’t think I had managed to win. So it took a few seconds for it to sink in that the name they were calling for the first place was mine!

It felt really good to know all the hard work had paid off. I want to thank all my tutors at Penwith College for their encouragement and Lily my model for being patient while I backbrushed her hair to death. I can’t wait till the next one

Wish Me Luck

suzanna — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 10:20:45 +0000

As many of you may know I am currently undergoing training in hairdressing to be able to offer this service. I am really enjoying this and can not wait to be able to do hair for weddings and photoshoots etc
There is a competition being held at Truro College tomorrow and part of it is for Level 1 Hairdressing, which is what I am doing at the moment, so I thought it might be fun to enter!

So tomorrow morning I will be going up to Truro College with my model Lily Pickles and lots of other entrants from Penwith College to take part in this competition. My category is ‘Clubbing’ so Lily will be sporting an appropriate hair do for this category. I will also be styling Lily and doing makeup to complete the look..that bit I am not worried about

I am getting very nervous now but excited at the same time. I want to wish everyone that is entering good luck.
There is a catwalk show in the evening if anyone wants to come along, tickets are available from Truro College.

I will let you all know what happens.
