I’m so excited for this episode. We are covering a subject I wish I could have heard myself when I first started out I’m my hairdressing career. Because today I’m talking with International Celebrity Hair and Make-Up artist, Kevin Fortune, on how to work in the art of Session Hair Styling Across Fashion, Red Carpet, Film & TV. As the co-founder of the Kevin Fortune Hair Styling Academy in London’s West End, he seriously knows his stuff when it comes to the genre of hair and make-up. He teaches Make-Up Artists, Hairstylists and Hairdresser from around the world on it, and today he will be sharing that wealth of experience with us all, too. Its gold!

With over twenty years of industry experience, Kevin continues to stay at the top of the game as a leading Hair and Make-Up artist. He works regularly in the worlds of Music to Live Entertainment TV, Fashion Editorials and Personal Stylist to many A- List Artists, and regularly travels all over the world working on location photoshoots. He also counts a number of international high-profile personalities as his regular clients.

So the big focus of todays conversation is Kevin’s story to how he has carved out a hugely successful career as a leading Hair and Make-up artist. And in this converstaion too, we get to the heart of how to develop and elevate your hair styling career, skills and artistry whether for session work, photoshoots or simply your everyday commercial work standing behind the salon chair. Kevin has much to cover, so make sure to take notes. Enjoy!!
