ABOUT

ANNIE LITTLE
HAIR ARTS

For as long as I can remember I have had an interest in hair. It probably started when I got a Girls World toy for Christmas. Since then either in the background of my life, or in the foreground at work there has been hair.  

 

Annie Little Hair Arts embraces me as an artist and gives me the scope to explore the different elements I enjoy. Experiencing hair (and makeup) in a variety of contexts is something I have always done and I am making my way back to regular exploring. If I am not at work I am usually writing, reading, visiting, researching, thinking, commenting, doing, educating, mentoring and talking about hair. 

​​

My formal training began over 25 years ago at the College of North East London. I have studied at the London College of Fashion, the University of the Arts, London and the London School of Barbering.  I left these places with;

​

- HND BTEC in Theatrical & Media Makeup

- City & Guilds in Wig-making

- NVQ II Hairdressing 

- NVQ 3 Barbering

- MA in Fashion Entrepreneurship

 

I have worked for creative companies like Madame Tussauds, Alex Rouse Wig Co, Makeup Forever, Theatre Calgary & Alberta Theatre Projects. 

​

I currently work in Film & TV in the hair and makeup department. ​

​

Most recently I founded BLCKSTR, workshops supporting HMUA in film & tv working with textured hair and makeup.

BLCKSTR

 

Working with Textured Hair &
Makeup for Medium to Deep Skin Tones

I founded BLCKSTR to answer the call around diversity and equality at the makeup mirror.

I created hair and makeup workshops to support hair and makeup artists working in film and TV to become more familiar with, feel more confident about and have more practice in working with the hair and makeup of people of colour.  

I work in collaboration with  artists and organisations to deliver  workshops around the country, abroad, and online - for groups and individuals.
