Susan Cole


Hair & Makeup Designer

With Designer credits on hit series ‘Marcella’ (ITV/Netflix) and ‘Whitstable Pearl’ (Acorn TV) and the 2022 feature ‘Rogue Agent’, Susan’s rise through the ranks of the makeup and hair department has been assured. She trained as a stylist and a colour technician working with actors and on wigs alike, and then as a wig specialist and period hairdresser, working out of the legendary Ray Marsden Studio and then at the Christine Blundell Makeup Academy. With maturity as well as previous experience of acting on her side, producers and directors alike have proved that she makes a great choice as Designer.

‘Susan is a delight to work with. She’s immensely talented and brings a great energy. She has a 'can do' attitude that has helped us work around some tricky requests re: blood/ SFX/prosthetics. Her enthusiasm permeates through her crew who are also great. I look forward to the next time we work together.’
