The school based in London was established in 2008 and whatever your arena, you’ll certainly come off the better after attending their courses.

Modern Vintage is a trend that is apparently here to stay and with the rapid increase in popularity of vintage styles in recent years, in movies, as well as on the street; any makeup or hair stylist worth their salt is going to want to learn all the old secrets as well as how to apply that “modern twist” to their efforts.

From modernising the 1920s flapper smokey eye look, to modernising the perennial 1950s cat eyes makeup and enhanced lips look. Adding modern touches to old favourites like the 1940s wartime Victory Rolls to a twist and shaking of the classic 1960s Beehive hairdo.
