Tess Brunelle - Stylist/MUA
Since the age of 13 I’ve always sported unique haircuts with bright hair colors paired with any makeup I could get my hands on. Because of this, my love of hair and makeup has only grown over the years. I soon discovered that most stylists were hesitant towards my want for shorter, colorful hair and I, like most middle schoolers, started coloring my hair myself. By the eighth grade I was introduced to the option of Bristol Plymouth and instantly jumped at the opportunity to study cosmetology. I’ve been doing makeup for as long as I could hold a brush and recently placed first in the Nation for Esthetics at SkillsUSA.
I started at Gwen Mireille as an assistant my senior year and quickly began soaking up any and all knowledge I could whilst working towards getting behind the chair. I am dedicated to my craft and am continually pursuing new educational opportunities. I love this industry as it is ever changing and there is always something new to learn. My goal is to create a space for fearless self expression. Although I love working on highlights and natural coloring, I thrive off vivid colors and cuts that can range anywhere from full heads of neon to strips of pastel color.
Outside of work you can usually find me walking around a Target or at any concert I can get into. At home I’m often chipping away at some sort of diy project whilst wrangling foster kittens. I am a self proclaimed crazy cat lady and am always up for an adventure. Creativity tends to follow me in every aspect of life and I’d love to make your fearless hair dreams, no matter how “out of the box” they may seem, a reality.
