Michelle Lee
Who We Are...In Hollywood, everyone knows it's not what you know, but who you know. Launched in 2008 by celebrity makeup artist Michelle Lee, the Hair and Makeup Artist Network is already becoming known as the place for freelance hair and makeup artists to GET KNOWN.
The Hair and Makeup Artist Network is the first comprehensive resource center exclusively for the hair and makeup professional. In addition to providing business support services for self-employed artists, the Network grants its members access to group health care plans, business seminars, job postings, production listings, artistry workshops, and networking events.
Since its inception The Hair and Makeup Artist Network has already partnered with some of the beauty industry's biggest names. Some heavy-hitters who recently taught workshops include: Cloutier Agency, Celestine Agency, Local 706, Smashbox, Paul Mitchell, Make Up For Ever, Emmy Winner Fred Blau, and Department Heads from "Boston Legal" and "Monster's Ball."
The Network was born from the experience Michelle Lee had upon starting her own Hollywood career in the mid-nineties. "I couldn't get anyone to talk to me or help me," says Lee. "I couldn't help but think there has to be an easier way to do this. It shouldn't be this difficult to get work."

"I'm in India heading a huge Hollywood/Bollywood movie shooting all around the US and India thanks to a referral from The Hair & Makeup Artist Network." -Member, Robin Slater
"The Hair and Makeup Artist network has been a great catalyst for inspiration and support within this rewarding, yet demanding industry. I look forward to working with this group as I grow within my dream career, sharing goals, tips, ideas and success!" -Member, Erika Diehl of Glamour Lush Makeup & Hair Artistry.
"I found this network purely by accident, or was it?? I started reading about all the resources and education available to members and I thought, "This is too good to be true." There is a saying, "When the student is ready the teacher will appear." I'd been feeling really stuck and lacking the resources to take my makeup career to the next level and the network is providing me with the right tools to pull it all together, not to mention the friends I am making with the same interests. It's an all around win-win situation. I am very happy I joined this Network."
-Member, Gail Sher
"I met a friend though the Hair & Makeup Artist Network who recommended me for a job and on THAT job I met another makeup artist who I have gotten work from. It's a great place to network and meet other artists. The other thing that sold me are the classes. Continuing education is important to me and I attend classes whenever I can." -Member, Felvi Hernando
