In this strangest of strange years, instead of February being Awards Month, everything is pushed back to April – and awaited with bated breath. While the BAFTA and Academy Awards both give a nod to the best hair and make-up, they’re nowhere near as comprehensive as The Make-Up Artist and Hairstylists Guild Awards.
Chartered in 1937, the Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Guild (IATSE, Local 706) dates back to in the Golden Age of Hollywood. Today’s diverse membership includes over 2,400 artists in the entertainment industry worldwide. Local 706 members are make-up artists and hair stylists who have created the looks for Hollywood’s most memorable characters and stars of stage, screen, television and now the Internet. The wide-ranging domains of these artists include feature films and television, commercials; live network television, all types of theatrical productions and Disneyland theme parks.
