SAMMY JO | MAKE-UP ARTIST " I qualified as a hair stylist in 2009, but never fancied working in a salon. I am huge film fan, and have always wanted to work in film in one capacity or another.

My eyes were opened to the possibilities of hair and make-up in film back in 2001, with the release of 'The Fellowship of the Ring' and the astounding work of WETA in New Zealand.

Years later, when I began to feel as if the pursuit of the film career was no more than a failing dream, my local college started a course in special FX make-up.

Since I began my course, I have worked at London Fashion week, where I was head of hair department. I have also worked on a promo for an upcoming TV series and I am currently working on a feature film in Ramsgate, UK. The goal is to keep working in film and TV and on the occasional photoshoots where possible" - Sammy Jo
