Hiya! I'm Genn Shaughnessy
I'm a Non-Union, Free-Agent Stylist with 20+ years of production experience working primarily in TV & Film, Commercials and Marketing Campaigns. I provide Makeup, Hair and Wardrobe Styling services for various types of productions & special events.
My passion is traveling and working on international projects especially those involving Ireland, Scotland and the UK. My family is from Ireland and in my free time I research our family history, study Irish & Scottish Gaelic and the History of the UK, especially Haunted Castles, Witches and Folklore. I love a good ghost story!
HAVE PASSPORT; WILL TRAVEL
I specialize in soft glam and natural makeup, but my absolute favorite is Rock n Roll Glam. I have a special place in my heart for musicians for we'd be lost without them. It's not something I get to do all the time do to the nature of my work. However, regardless of my personal preferences, I always meet the needs of my client and look forward to curating your special project.
