At Body & Soul, we create luxury intimate portraiture for everyday women in East London, most of whom have never done a shoot before.

We’ve already guided over 1,900 women through this experience. For many, it’s been the most important, confidence‑shifting thing they did that year.

Our mission is to help women see themselves as powerful, worthy and beautiful in real life and on camera.

If you want to be part of a tight in‑studio team and push your styling craft to a world‑class standard, keep reading.

Your Mission

As our in‑studio Hair & Makeup Artist, you design camera‑ready hair & makeup that feels like the best version of her, hold a calm, safe space from the moment she walks in, and stay on set for the entire shoot. You manage the details (flyaways, shine, wardrobe, subtle posing tweaks) so sessions run on time and she feels supported, confident and truly seen from first brush stroke to final frame.

What You Will Do

• Create high‑quality, camera‑ready hair & makeup that enhances each woman’s natural beauty and matches the Body & Soul aesthetic

• Start and finish every look on time, keeping 2‑hour sessions running to the minute

• Stay on set and fully engaged for the entire shoot: manage flyaways, shine, wardrobe tweaks, subtle posing adjustments and overall vibe so she feels supported throughout

• Capture and upload simple behind‑the‑scenes content on your phone that showcases our transformation process without disrupting guests or timing

• Welcome guests with warmth and professionalism so they feel safe, seen and celebrated

• Maintain an immaculate, calm, organised station and follow strict hygiene and sanitation standards

• Learn and embody our signature look library and guest experience standards

• Collaborate closely with photographers and Guest Experience so studio days run smoothly

• Within your first 90 days, ramp from supervised support to independently running full styling days and on‑set assistance while hitting our timing, guest‑feedback and BTS standards

How We’ll Know You’re Winning

• Guests are ready for the photographer on time, without rushing

• Guests consistently leave glowing feedback about you by name (we aim for a 5‑star experience as standard)

• You grab quick behind‑the‑scenes clips for most shoots without slowing the day down

• Your station is spotless, stocked and calm every time we walk past

• You independently run full styling days on our busiest days while protecting guest experience and team wellbeing

This Role Is For You If…

• You love being busy, moving and on your feet all day

• You get genuine satisfaction from hitting tight timings and following checklists

• You care deeply about women feeling powerful and beautiful in their own skin

• You want to go all‑in on your craft, even if that means long, intense days rather than “perfect balance”

• You like clear standards, honest feedback and being held to numbers on timing, quality and guest experience

• You thrive in a high‑standard, direct, team‑first environment

Requirements

• Professional hair & makeup experience with portfolio (soft glam / natural focus is essential)

• Comfortable styling and supporting 3 guests per day, on your feet most of the time

• Strong hygiene standards and kit / product care

• Confident capturing simple BTS content on a phone

• Weekend availability (this role includes regular weekend shifts)

Training, Growth and Perks

• Structured 90‑day ramp with clear timing, guest‑feedback and BTS milestones, plus weekly coaching from your Studio Manager

• Clear progression: a defined HMUA ladder with pay rises tied to your results, behaviour and craft level, not politics or tenure

• Performance bonus: monthly bonus on top of base once fully ramped, based on your timing, guest feedback and BTS coverage

• Perks: team holidays and getaways, staff artwork perks, plus a high‑standard in‑studio team that genuinely wants you to win

Our guests are women, often shooting nude or semi‑nude, and you’ll be part of an all‑female studio floor team for their comfort and safety.
