Alissa Shores and Meredith Johns

Beauty – Austin

Alissa and Meredith met 10 years ago on a film set and became instant friends. Since then, they have collaborated on a multitude of projects in the film, TV, print and commercial industries. Meredith Johns is an Emmy-nominated makeup and FX makeup artist as well as owner of Hawgfly Productions, Inc. In 2003, she began her professional film career and discovered the world of FX makeup. She loves making creatures, hair/art/makeup pieces and has traveled the world with her projects. Her favorite part of her craft is the constant challenge. She particularly enjoys incorporating innovative technologies and techniques into her designs. Alissa Shores has been in the industry for over a decade. She graduated from Baldwin's Beauty School in December of 2005. Then jumped head first into feature films in 2008 when she became the key hairstylist on the movie "Tree of Life" directed by Terrence Malick. After 9 years of traveling and working on TV series and movies, Alissa decided to invest more time behind the chair and less time behind the camera. Today she is a haircutting specialist at Deep Roots Salon ATX. Her passion is creating hairstyles and haircuts that make people look and feel their best. She often misses set life, but doesn't miss the 16hr days!
