Australian-born Sean James brings global perspective and decades of experience to every look he creates. A four-time Local 706 Guild Award nominee for both Hair and Make-Up and a full-time member of the Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild, Sean has worked on more than 2,000 episodes of television—plus countless red carpet, film, and editorial projects.

Currently, Sean works with Chris Hardwick on @Midnight (Comedy Central), AMC’s Talking Dead franchise, and NBC’s The Wall. His Hollywood resume includes everything from Breaking Bad to Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and editorial styling for fashion icons like Balmain, Gucci, and Vivienne Westwood.

Sean began his career as a wig maker and quickly became a sought-after educator for brands like L’Oréal, Redken, and Phyto Universe. Along the way, he’s built a reputation as a trusted product expert, panelist, and advocate for sustainable beauty.

His commitment to giving back is equally impressive—leading glam teams for benefit performances including Women in Film: Prop 8 and Rufus Wainwright’s Christmas 101 for sarcoma research.

Now signed with Frank Moore at the legendary Celestine Agency and preparing for a global press tour with Jamie Lee Curtis for Freaky Friday 2, Sean is entering an exciting new chapter. Regular clients include Jamie Lee Curtis, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Eugene Levy, Phil Keoghan, and Dylan and Cole Sprouse.

Sean partnered with Giovanni to access high-performance, multitasking products that respect both artistry and sustainability—a balance that mirrors his own approach to hair and beauty. “I’ve always loved Giovanni products,” Sean says. “It means a great deal to officially be part of the Giovanni family. Your warm welcome has been deeply appreciated.”
