Cathy, a Belfast native raised by a hairstylist mother, discovered her love for style early on. Growing up, she would watch with fascination as her granny applied eyeliner and lipstick without a mirror, and pop whatever shade she used on her lips on her cheeks to bring together an effortless look.
That fascination led Cathy to leave school at a young age to work in a salon in Belfast, and later London where she was a popular salon stylist. She jumped ship to music PR for a while, booking DJs and bands in the east London club scene. Fuelled by inspiration for what hair and make-up can evolve into when not confined to the salon, Cathy joined the tour of international music superstar, Adele, as her hair and make-up artist. Since then, Cathy has worked her way up through the industry, assisting hair legends such as Malcolm Edwards and James Pecis, working on show teams from New York, to London, Milan and Paris.
Cathy is now an in-demand stylist, working for culture-defining brands as well as house hold name fashion houses. Bringing her own unique style to every job she does.
