About Me

My photo
Queensferry/Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
Hi Everyone!!, I've been a hairdresser for 26 years, I wanted to be in the industry since a child when I first saw behind the scenes of a photo shoot on MTV. Not happy at just being stuck behind a salon chair I went to study the art of make-up artistry for film and TV and qualified as a pro make-up artist in 2001. I hold an HND in Make-up Artistry, HNC in Hairdressing and Salon Org, HND in Trichology. I also teach make-up artistry part time. I love anything to do with art and recently won an award for my talents as a body painter. I also have a keen passion for photography. www.tracykane.co.uk

8th November '09

Busy Busy Week all round. Monday I was working on a shoot for pin up photographer and friend Brian Lawson in Bent Brae studio on Monday with a gorgeous model called Fredau. Then I got to model. I really can't wait to do more. Yay.

I was teaching on Wednesday. I really do love it.

Tonight I'm just back from my first period film where I was creating bruises and a burst lip on a lovely actress called Frankie. It was called 'The Tenament Ghost' filmed in the Tenament House. Buccleuch Street. Glasgow. I'd recommend going to see it. It's not been touched for 80 years. Amazing Place.

I was really touched to hear about the history from Catherine. The director was the nicest director I've met. Good days x x

It was a pleasure to work with celebrity hairdresser and artistic creative Stephen Glendinning on Sunday He has clients such as Kimberly Stewart, Jade Jagger and the rest! We worked together on a model. I carried out the make-up for him and it was a pure pleasure! 

Michael Barnes was also very professional and also forthcoming explaining to me about his fantastic avant garde do's. He also has a wide list of celebrity clients such as well? Who do you leave out? Very informative an was also a pleasure to carry out make-up for him. The piece he used on "Lily Cole was out of this world!" Michael's "outside the box" viewpoint has enabled him to pioneer revolutionary photographic and hairstyling techniques.

and last but not least....Yves Bubert was great and very entertaining. Loved his edward scissorhand technique!

I was really happy to be invited back to Adam Smith College in Kirkcaldy in order to give a demo of my work to the second year hairdressing students.  I was once a student there many years ago and it was an honor to be invited for the third time this year. The staff and students all made my day! X X
