CAMILLA

Founding Hair and Make Up Artist and CEO

Camilla is the founding hair and makeup artist at CJC and her career began 14 years ago after study design for performance at Central Saint Martins and then going onto study TV, Film and Theatre Hair and Makeup at Greasepaint Makeup School in Ealing (now Iver at Pinewood.) 

 

She has worked with celebrities and TV personalities, and her corporate clients include MTV, Wahl, Pot Noodle, Elonex, Investec, Lee Cooper, Claridge’s, Fortnum and Mason, Louis Vuitton, Warner Brother’s Studio Tour, Rimmel, and Google.

She’s  gained a wealth of industry experience from working on short films, music videos, features, and commercials, to beauty, editorials, and fashion events.

 

While she spent the early years of her career in the film and photographic industry she found her true calling as a hair and makeup artist to be working with her clients on some of the most important days of their lives, ensuring that they not only look, but feel, amazing.

In 2012 she took a step back from the TV and Film industry to set up her own bridal hair and makeup company to offer a bespoke hair and makeup design service that made each client feel like the star that they truly are.

She’s been featured in newspapers, industry editorials, and women’s glossy magazines, and has received recognition, nominations, and won awards for her work from winning the hitched.co.uk 2012 Breakthrough award in Hair and Makeup Styling to national finalist for the Professional Beauty Awards 2018 as Best Make-Up Artist and regional finalist for the South East of England in The Wedding Industry Awards in 2019.  

Camilla oversees everything within the CJC Hair & Makeup agency and was awarded the Guides For Brides Customer Service Award in 2022.

She takes on a select few hair and makeup clients herself alongside her confidence coaching and speaking work, her aim always to build true confidence and beauty from the inside out, not the outside in,

Camilla is dedicated to creating a confidence so radiant it shines unbelievably bright from within every client she works with.

Words cannot fairly express how wonderful Camilla is. Having to plan a marriage in Covid times wasn’t easy & I honestly think without her I wouldn’t have been able to do it. Not only is she truly gifted at what she does- I mean out of this world amazing (everyone commented on my make up & hair) but she went above & beyond to help me – showing such kindness & support that I will forever be grateful for.

There are a few people in life who just truly shine & Camilla is without a doubt one of them. I highly recommend her for not only her amazing skills but her warm, kind & supportive manner. She really helped me to feel beautiful both inside & out.

Camilla did my hair and make up on my wedding day, she was excellent! I loved how calm and collective she was and didn’t rush anything.
We didn’t get to do the trial, so I told her exactly what I wanted and showed her some photos, and the final result was better than what I expected. Thank you Camilla for making me feel so pretty on my big day!!!
I highly recommend Camilla, if you are looking for someone to do your hair/makeup for any special occasion I wouldn’t look elsewhere.

A massive thank you to Camilla and her team, they were just so wonderful not only on the wedding day but throughout the whole processes.

From contacting them a year before the wedding they have all been so incredible. On the wedding day they brought amazing vibes and made myself and the bridesmaids look fabulous for the big day.

I would 1000000% recommend them for your big day

CJC Hair and makeup are literally the best at what they do! I felt from the first initial contact that Camilla knew what she was doing, calm and confident approach, and made me feel at ease straight away.

I didn’t even look at any other make up artists and I knew she was the right person for the job. She was the first supplier I confirmed for the wedding over a year in advance.

I am very particular about my make up and hair, and so it was a big decision to choose!

Camilla was absolutely outstanding, as well as the rest of her team. We had personalised hamper, and it came just at the right time when the stresses of a wedding were closing in!

I have had so many compliments on my make up and how beautiful my hair was, and it lasted until 6am!!!! I felt like a real like princess, and had the outfit and make up and hair to match!

Can not recommend Camilla and her team enough! Absolute SUPER STARS!!!

Camilla and Beth had no easy job doing the makeup of all 7 bridesmaids, my mum and my own bridal hair and makeup! But they made us all feel at ease, relaxed and Beth even helped us film a tik tok transition after lots of takes (Thank you!).

We all felt and looked beautiful and I can’t recommend Camilla and her team enough for your wedding day.

She was kind enough to give me a signed copy of her book, which I can’t wait to read now I have lots of time not planning my wedding! Thank you CJC Hair & Makeup xxxx

I had an amazing time at my 1-1 make-up and hair tutorial. Camilla is so lovely, showed me how to put make-up on specifically for my face (contouring, different shades of products, eyebrows, eye shadows eyeliner, highlighter, etc.), let me try it myself and guided me through it so that I can do it on my own later.
We also tried a couple of hairstyles and Camille recommended some products that I was interested in.
I’m super happy with my tutorial, once Halloween is back on I will come for some epic makeover.

Camilla is not your average wedding hairdresser – she is exceptional. I was immediately comfortable in her company, and her experience and passion was obvious from the outset. On my wedding day she was calm, professional and friendly. She goes above and beyond what you expect – for example fixing mistakes made by other hairdressers on the day (mother of the bride). My hair looked perfect, and stayed in place all day and night.
