As Head of Department for the "Cocktails" music video, I was responsible for overseeing all hair and makeup elements on set. I worked closely with the director to create and execute the looks for the lead female and male characters, ensuring their styling aligned with the tone and aesthetic of the video. In addition, I managed the hair and glam makeup for 15–20 extras, coordinating quick turnarounds while maintaining consistency and quality across all looks. This role required strong leadership, time management, and a sharp eye for detail to bring the creative vision to life.
