About me
I am an experienced wigs assistant, head of wardrobe, and wigs swing for many large scale productions. Based in the North West I have been part of various productions performed both nationally and internationally on tour. I have recently transitioned from wardrobe to wigs full time to follow my passion there.My current position is as wigs assistant on the Sister Act UK and Ireland tour 22-23. I am part of a three person department where my duties involve setting, dressing out, blocking, washing and general maintenance of wigs.
I am confident in styling and maintaining hair of different textures, including afro-textured hair.
I have experience in covering other wig plots, and deputising the department when the Wigs deputy is off, supervising the deputy assistant and taking on different responsibilities.
I am a qualified make-up artist, confident in application of many styles, following face charts and design specifications, skin type analysis and excellent sanitisation and hygiene of products.
I am experienced in all aspects of wig maintenance and application. I am familiar and confident with all hair styling tools and a wealth of styling techniques including finger waving and pin curl sets. I have experience with both human hair and synthetic lace front wigs and closures, and their application and maintenance.
I am also confident in all aspects of costume maintenance, hand sewing, machine sewing and overlocking, mending, outsourcing and making. I am confident in running and assisting the wardrobe department having worked internationally in large scale touring theatre and on some of the biggest touring musical productions in the UK. I am a very experienced wardrobe assistant and have dressed some of the most costume heavy musicals currently in production.
