Bio
London-based hair stylist Mark Francome Painter is known for creating contemporary looks which elevate and complement his subjects, often crafting identity defining hairstyles for those in the limelight.
Driven by a passion for image making and talent partnerships, Mark puts collaboration at the forefront of his success. Many of his editorial projects feature raw, undone, effortless textures and styles- a nod to his love for surfing, skateboarding, and freedom of self expression.
Mark's prolific career spans 25 years through every aspect of hairstyling, from fashion and music, through film and advertising. He created Dua Lipa's look for her debut album cover, designed Bjork' hair for Arisen My Senses, and collaborates regularly with Vogue, both in the UK and internationally.
