training with the prestigious Toni&Guy.
After winning junior competitions
specifically in hair colour, Remy continued
her career as head colour technician at MJM
Hair Design. Always experimenting
with colour, Remy started to learn
basic skills in make-up, looking at
her favourite fashion magazines for
inspiration and creating different
techniques on herself before
testing out on her sisters. Realising
her new passion, she enrolled onto
London’s famous make-up school
Greasepaint and graduated in
2004.
Remy has done a number of
different projects working
with legendary photographers
such as Marc Le Bon for
GQ magazine, on TV shows
such as Who Wants to be A
Millionaire and This Morning,
and designing hair and make-
up for music videos directed
by award-winning Stuart
Birchall. Remy has also worked for
a number of cosmetic brands such
as Laura Mercier, Ellis Faas, Chanel
and Benefit cosmetics, learning
management skills as well as creative
ones.
Remy’s passion for make-up also recently
paved the way for her to teach teenagers
that had been excluded from school. She
has helped them achieve their NVQ in hair
and beauty, so that they are able to
get into college and get a good start
in their chosen careers. The birth
of Face Addict Hair Junkie has been
one of her most exciting projects yet,
taking her on an incredible journey
of learning new skills and meeting
fantastic, talented people of whom she
gets inspiration from every day.
Her passion is sharing knowledge
of make-up, but making it simple for
others to learn and her vision for Face
Addict Hair junkie is that they will run
their own successful hair and make-up
academy.
