What A Stylist Actually Does with Kate Lauren Harper
Recently week I sat down with Sydney-based stylist Kate Lauren Harper for a refreshingly honest conversation about what stylists really do and what that means for us as hair and makeup artists on set.
If you have ever wondered what the stylist is actually doing while you are in kit, or how to build a better working relationship with styling, this episode is for you.
We cover:
- What a stylist actually does, from brief to final look
- How mood boards, client decks, and feedback rounds shape the whole shoot
- Why timelines and budgets are never as simple as they seem
- The unspoken etiquette of working on set
- How the stylist x hair and makeup relationship works (and when it does not)
- Kate's path from Wollongong to lead stylist, including the ecomm grind that built her skills
- Why boundaries matter more than you think, for stylists and for us
