My 2 day Intensive Hair Master Class with Melanie Meik taken by Anouska














Bridal, Classic,Vintage, and Retro /Fashion were all themes on our agenda for Anouska's 2 day One to One Intensive Hair Master Class with one of the M.A.C.H team and trainer Melanie Meik.

The second day covered all the looks you see above. From my essential hair prep routine - sectioning and blow drying with a root boost spray, Anouska was guided through the step by step flawless guidance, tuition and coaching with Melanie, who brought out the best in Anouska - her confidence soured throughout day 1 all ready for day 2 which she had clear views on what she wanted to have shot.
Melanie and myself were on hand to guide her with the day, but we were very much impressed with her professionalism and approach to the shoot. Timings were getting faster and the results impeccable.

Make up was incorporated into the shoot day to complete the looks. Both interior shots are done in a variety of lighting to demonstrate how make up and hair can differ, the artist then alters the make up accordingly, and learns how to also do this whilst on set, and to time. The photographer will love you!!
We then also take the same make up out side to see the difference, and then into full light where the last shots were done for the retro/fashion section.
The importance of getting your client out of various make up looks is as important as the initial application!
We have some unique tricks and techniques.

Photography and genius Glen Mitchell was on hand again for the shoot and provided yet more jaw dropping tricks and lighting techniques to produce a set of high quality commercial images for Anouska's portfolio - essential to any Make up & Hair Artist.

In Anouska's own words 'I'm delighted with my 2 days, Mel was an incredible teacher and helped my confidence enormously, I can't believe how much we've covered and that I've learnt, I'm so happy'
