Tiffany Cooksey

Tiffany Cooksey is a Master Hairstylist and Makeup Artist currently based in SW Portland, OR. Shortly after beginning her hair and makeup career over a decade ago, Tiffany’s passion for hair and beauty led her to networking within the industry. She soon found herself working with agency represented models in her hometown of Chicago, where she first began building her editorial and beauty portfolio. Within two and a half years of her start behind the chair in the salon, Tiffany earned not only three in-salon promotions, she also accepted and held a position with the national Design Team, (formerly Salon Artistic Team), at Ulta Beauty in November 2014 thru December 2016; her passion and determination are a force!

Within this position, Tiffany found herself on set at photoshoots and backstage at New York Fashion Week for four consecutive seasons alongside her teammates, under mentors at both Redken and Cutler Salon. Working during the F/W 2015, S/S 2016, F/W 2016, and S/S 2017 seasons, Tiffany had the opportunity to execute hairstyles for Tadashi Shoji (2x), Taoray Wang (2x), BABYGHOST (2x), FTL Moda (2x), Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief, Dion Lee, Franco LaCosta, Claudia Li, Noon by Noor, Paola Hernandez, Rachel Antonoff, Tanya Taylor, Morgan Le Fay, Morgan Lane, and KITH's debut of  KITHLAND, as well as doing makeup for the WWD Magic Trade Show in Las Vegas in February 2015. Tiffany and many of her peers at Ulta Beauty have also worked backstage for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for their annual The Walk student-designed runway show from 2013-2015. Tiffany and her Design Team teammates collaborated on Salon Trend Collections, marketing photoshoots, events, and facilitated education from the latest collections which benefitted Ulta Beauty's 6,000 designers in the field by keeping them and their guests On Trend. During her time with the Artistic Team, Tiffany still continued to work behind the chair. Despite the team's busy travel schedule, Tiffany maintained a loyal and expanding clientele, and even became a Redken Certified Haircolorist and a Certified Hair Extension Specialist with easihair pro along the way.

While being a model herself, Tiffany has walked in fashion shows, shot with celebrity photographers, and found herself published in editorial and glam publications. She has been an extra in The Break-Up (2006), was selected as a Top 35 semifinalist out of 15,000 women on Cycle 10 of America's Next Top Model (2008), as well as making the Top 10 of Project Runway spinoff Models of the Runway Casting Challenge (2009). She later signed with Lily's Talent Agency in July 2016 and has since enjoyed the ability to be back on both sides of the camera.

Tiffany's experience in front of the camera early on garnered her an appreciation of all those behind the camera, as well as a rich understanding of photo composition, fueling her desire to be part of the creative process and lend her seasoned directing skills. Her well-rounded artistic capabilities, focus, attention to detail -- whether in styling, hair color or makeup -- and driven personality are only a few of many of Tiffany's great qualities.

While thoroughness, openness, patience, the ability to educate her clients, and having an incredible work ethic are some of her keys to the aforementioned successes she's had within such a short time in this industry, it is the level of professionalism and humbleness that make Tiffany a great choice for any of your beauty needs.
