Born into a family of hairdressers in Manchester, at age 14 Hayley Atherton was already working on Saturdays in her parent’s salon. After completing her GNVQ in hairdressing, traveling the world and then undertaking further study to achieve her ITEC in fashion, theatre, media make-up, she landed her first full time gig on The Tribe in New Zealand. From there she worked on many productions in New Zealand before moving to Western Australia in 2007. Hayley had her first break as a designer on Stone Bros, before working on a wide range of productions across Australia. She has over 35 film credits and her design credits include, Stone Bros, The Circuit 2, Lockie Leonard, Paper Planes, A few Less Men, Hounds of Love, The Naked Wanderer, Go Karts, The Heights, RAMS and I Met a Girl. #apdg #hairandmakeupdesigner #hayleyatherton_mkupandhair #stonebros #thecircut2 #lockielenard #paperplanes #afewlessmen #houndsoflove #thenakedwanderermovie #gokarts #theheights #rams #imetagirlmovie
