PROFILE:

NAME:

Dom Seeley

TITLE:

Session Stylist / World Freelance Hair artist / Celebrity Hairstylist

DAY IN THE LIFE:

I always start my day with Instagram! I work on a broad range of projects from session styling work to freelance work and then I also have my private clients as well for colour, styling and extensions. A typical day could involve working on a client’s colour in the morning and then preparing to fly to Paris that evening for a show and then back in the UK for a shoot the next day. My work is everywhere and it’s quite nice to mix it up between freelance and salon.

NAME:

Morgan Haile

TITLE:

Co-owner of the Morgan Taylor nail polish brand

DAY IN THE LIFE:

When I’m in LA and I’m in the office I do a little bit of everything. I do some digital marketing, talk to our PR team, work on some of the other brands promotions and events. I work with magazines giving interviews as well as talking to some of our vendors about product development and also colour development. More recently Taylor and I have gotten more involved in the seasonal collections as well coming up with colours that will be out for 2019 and how to make them innovative.

INSPIRATIONS:

My dad, in business and personally I always go to him for my big decisions. He started off from a humble beginning, and he decided to really make something of himself. He has a lot of success, but he has always remembered where he came from.
