Gill East Hair and Make-Up

Just a little bit about me…. I love my job. I love making people feel and look amazing and I love great wedding hair and great wedding make-up. I feel very lucky to be in the position that I am where I can be part of a bride’s special day by making her look even more beautiful than she already is. I work mainly with brides for their wedding day but have done a substantial amount of commercial work for various clients including lifestyle magazines Vantage and Epicurean Life, I’ve worked at The Brits, Britain’s Next Top Model, The Ministry of Sound, Dazed & Confused and TKMaxx. I’ve been doing hair and make-up for over 12 years now, training in hairdressing initially at Carshalton College in Surrey, and make-up with renowned artist Louise Constad at her Beauty School in London. Both seem like a long time ago now! I enjoy testing new products, styles or looks when I think of new things and am looking to learn new tips and tricks. If my schedule allows it I’ll always try to attend regular hair styling training, MAC make-up Masterclasses or even assisting other artists to keep me up to date on the latest trends and techniques. I like to pride myself on the fact that I’m a pretty approachable person that is always friendly, calm under pressure and a complete perfectionist who works hard to get the job done and on time! As well as enjoying a fairly active lifestyle outside of making people look beautiful, I have my other job which is my absolute love – being mum to my two gorgeous boys Finn and Woody. (It’s them that keep me active really).
