There is an angel among us. No, she doesn’t have a halo
or sprout wings or have a shimmering glow surrounding her like
we see in movies and on television, instead she is a talented
hair and makeup stylist for film and television. I invite you
to meet Angel Radefeld. Yes, Angel is her real name (in case
you were wondering). She was given that name because she was
born on Christmas Day. This mid-western transplant has been
doing Hollywood hair and makeup for five years.
If you think Angel started carving her career path for Hollywood
success as a "Girl Friday," you’re sadly mistaken.
She started as her own boss at just four-years-old, when Angel
styled her grandmother’s wigs. Angel’s helpful grandfather
made it easy for her to reach the wigs by actually wearing them
as she began to perfect her craft. As a 1993 graduate from Lawrence
Beauty Academy in Lawrence, Kansas, Angel has been making her
mark all over the big and small screen. She is currently working
on "The District" (aired on CBS) and has belted-out
other projects including the soon to be released "Leprechaun
6" (starring Tangi Miller), "Beethoven 5" (starring
Faith Ford), "Going Greek" (Susan Ward), E! Network’s
"Talk Soup," "Daily News" and "True
Hollywood Story," Style Network’s "Looks For
Less" and "Glow" (starring Lynda Lopez) as well
as a plethora of music videos and commercials (including Pepsi
starring Britney Spears).
The guardian Angel of hair and makeup has received extensive
training over the years to perfect her craft from Toni and Guy
(Texas), Aveda (Minneapolis), Pivot Point (Kansas City, MO),
Redken (Chicago), L’Oreal (Chicago) and Sexy Hair Concepts
(Los Angeles).
Where
does Angel see herself five years from now? "I want to
help educate and be a mentor for up-and-coming stylists and
still be working in Hollywood," she says. "I’m
determined to make it happen." During her time away from
the sets, she enjoys hiking and yoga.
