Laura Schalker


Hair & Makeup Designer

Laura’s rise through the ranks of the hair and makeup department can be attributed to nothing less than a combination of hard work, skill, and an ability to manage and supervise her team effectively and diligently. Her skills cover the whole range, from hair cutting and styling, to wigs, modern and period makeup and prosthetics. Based in London, she’s happy to go where the work takes her.
