Hello, Im Leanne. I have over 14yrs experience of hair and make-up.
I supose i knew from when i was very young that i wanted to do peoples hair and make-up, like when you say "when i grow up in gonna be a teacher,shop keeper or doctor" i was always the make-up lady!!
My 1st real job invoving hair and make-up was at a photographic make over studio in Bath. It was always so busy but i remember thinking that it wasnt like work cos i enjoyed it so much. It was brilliant and I got good at looking at people and just knowing what would look good for them hair and make-up wise.
Next I worked for Chanel in Jollys, Bath.Again, I Loved the whole make-up thing and would get carried away talking to customers about the new ranges that came in.Whilst working for Chanel,I had my 1st daughter.I returned to Jollys after maternity leave and worked for Benefit and Lancome, I then fell prgnant with my 2nd daughter.
After a short break, I found a job in a hair salon in the centre of Bath, It was a good move as it was like having a refresher in hairdressing. I enjoyed working there and met some lovely people.Surprise surprise,whilst working there I fell pregnant with my 3rd daughter, I returned after maternity leave but left shortly after to be with old work collegues at another highly sucessful salon.
I always look forward to the trials as I look at the brides to be in the same way I did when I worked for the make over company. Most of the time the brides have a clear idea of what they want the end result to be, this can help. Other times,brides dont have a clue where to start and I enjoy bouncing ideas around and seeing their faces when they see the results.
Overall, I love being part of someones big day and helping the bride look and feel extra special on such a precious occasion.
