What you'll bring to the team

Welcome to Madame Tussauds London. A place where celebrities never have a bad hair day. And that’s where you come in.

We are on the lookout for a Studio Technician - Hair Finishing Artist to join our creative Studio team. This is your chance to work behind the scenes of the ultimate fame experience, shaping, styling and perfecting the hair of the world’s most recognisable faces.

This is hands on, high impact artistry. You’ll be working up close with our figures every day, making sure hair is clean, sharp and camera ready. Silhouettes spot on. Details dialled up. Nothing rushed, nothing overlooked. Guests might not know your name, but they will feel your work.

One day you’re maintaining a flawless A list look. The next you’re prepping a figure for PR, marketing or a headline making launch. It’s immersive. It’s creative. It’s never boring. And no two days are ever the same.

You’ll collaborate closely with fellow artists across hair, colouring, wardrobe, sculpting and theming. You’ll take part in walk rounds, critiques and live feedback. You’ll keep standards sky high and help us deliver that wow moment, every single time.

This is a fixed term, site-based role at Madame Tussauds London. You’ll work 40 hours across 5 days out of 7, including weekends, bank holidays and peak periods. Fame waits for no one, and neither do our guests.
