Hello, I'm Paul Xavier, a hair and make up artist based in London, you don't know me, or maybe you do? Either way, welcome to my site and my life.
First there were dinosaurs, and then there was me. As you can see I've been around for many a-long year, painting, primping and burying my hands in glitter and hairspray. Scouser born and bred but don't hold that against me. Was a chef to start with but hated every minute of it, then one fine day I went to have my hair cut and heard the calling and I thought I MUST cut hair and paint faces. And the rest is history.
I'm a versatile artist, turning my hands to anything that is required. I work in a variety of projects from TV/film, magazines, photoshoots, stage shows, catwalk shows, corporate events. I've worked with every rock band you care to mention. My hairstyling techniques range from classic period styles to contemporary fashion work.
There's a non-exhaustive list of projects I've been a part of to be found on the CV section of this website, along with some sample images of various work I have done.
