Sarah Smerdon Hair and Makeup Professional UK-based Makeup Artist, Hairdresser and Barber
TV • Film • Beauty Giving someone a boost of confidence in how they look and feel is very rewarding.

My name is Sarah and I’m a freelance makeup artist, hairdresser and barber based in Bristol, UK. I graduated from Bath Academy of Media Makeup where I professionally trained in makeup for TV and film, under the creative direction of Oscar-winning Makeup Designer Peter Swords King. Since completing my training, I have experienced many different aspects of the industry including TV, film, theatre, f

ashion, editorial and bridal. I have worked in the hair and makeup department of TV dramas, feature films, a children's television series, a popular TV gameshow and an international TV news channel. In 2019, I qualified in Women's Hairdressing (NVQ 2) and attended the London School of Barbering, graduating with distinction. In 2020, I was accepted onto the industry-recognised ScreenSkills scheme for high-end TV production. In 2023, I completed my advanced qualification (NVQ 3) in Women’s Hairdressing whilst gaining experience working in a hair salon. I now continue to work on TV and film productions as well as photoshoots, assisting at weddings and with private hair and makeup clients. With a background in art and design, I enjoy expressing my creativity through my work. I have a good knowledge of skincare having previously trained and worked in beauty and holistic therapies for many years. I have always been amazed at the power of hair and makeup to totally transform a look, create a character or simply enhance natural beauty. I love to meet new people, explore new places and learn new skills. I feel very fortunate that my career, so far, has enabled me to do all of these, both in the UK and abroad, providing me with some exciting and varied opportunities, whilst doing what I love.

Jellyfish inspired my latest photoshoot for a hairdressing assignment.

They are masters in going with the flow and trusting their instincts. They live a simplified life, focused purely on survival. At first impressions, they seem featureless and we associate them with pain. But they have a hidden strength, a beauty in their movement in the water and they add to the mystery of the sea.

Thanks to this amazing group of ladies for helping me bring my jellyfish to life ❤️
