The Bite Magazine

hrough their combined years of experience

working as freelance hair and make-up artists,

founders Serena Loos, Micky Kastly and Remy

Morris created Face Addict Hair Junkie. The hair and

make-up collective’s ethos is “we are all beautiful, unique

and individual” and when you look at how passionate

they are for all things hair and make-up, you can clearly

see the energetic, creative and fun way in which they

approach their chosen art. Their passion, drive and

experience capture your attention and you can’t help

but admire their achievements and enthusiasm. For

such a young company, they already have an impressive

list of clients and sponsorship from major brands such

TIGI, Ellis Faas and MAC which reflects their unique,

eccentric style and attitude.

To mark the official launch of their company, FAHJ

held an event at the King’s Head in east

London, in an elegant, moody room

with a lion’s head protruding from

the wall while cute coconut

cupcakes with red lips

greeted guests of

the press

event.

As we explored the venue, we could feel the wild

creative elements of the event start to overcome us

with hanging chandeliers, large polar bear and retro-

red velvet drinking booths. A set of stairs led us into

an intimate setting and as we waited in anticipation, a

chimpanzee with a machine gun was an indication of

what was to come on stage that night. The performance

started with a sophisticated act, which soon switched

into an outlandish wild striptease that caught the

audience by surprise. After the first performance ended,

chilling sounds were played by a DJ cave-woman during

the interval so we decided to go for a little wander.

At every corner we turned, there seemed to be quirkier

animal heads.

We entered the hair and make-up room where models

were being styled by the FAHJ ladies in preparation for

the next performance.The theme of the autumn/winter

presentation was ‘Torrential Rain/Hell Fire’ which led

into an Electric Runway show. With a ‘Pop-Up’ studio

on location, this was the place for quick hair and make-

up fixes or

FAHJing

as it is now known. To close the

show, the Pink Candy Floss ladies so sophisticatedly

flexible, caressed each other with gold glitter, with

some sexual and sensual slow stretches. We were

certainly seduced by this performance; the make-up

was amazing at an inspiring launch of

a well organised team of
