Sijia Axford

My name is Sijia Axford. I am a Hair & Makeup Junior.

I am very friendly, hardworking, and work well within in a team. I am also good at working under pressure, very patient and care about other people. I have worked within both the main team and the crowd room, and have loved working in both environments. I’m very organised, good with the paper work, have good experience of looking after all the fittings, continuity, the timesheets dealing with the accounts…

One of my main strengths is hair. I self-taught wig making during the period of time that I studied at IVER Makeup Academy, and also know how to make facial hairs, such as moustache, side burns, and beard. I have a good understanding of setting, dressing of the wigs, too. I am also very confident with barbering.

I hold a clean UK driving licence, and have my own car, so happy to travel where ever the work based at.
I would love to be able to work with you if there is an opportunity in the future.
