I’m Mel (or MJ), your go-to vegan & cruelty-free  hair and makeup artist on the Gold Coast.

At MJ Vegan, your glam isn’t just about the final look, it’s about the whole experience. I’m here to make you feel seen, pampered, and absolutely confident from the moment you sit in my chair to the moment you walk out glowing. I’m all about creating flawless, confidence-boosting looks that enhance your natural features while keeping your skin, hair, and well being protected (because you deserve the best of both worlds!).

What makes me different? I only use vegan & cruelty-free products (as well as low/no-tox options) and every single item in my kit is hand-picked for performance and purity.

But here’s the thing: I don’t just want you to leave looking incredible. I want you to leave feeling uplifted, confident, and like you just had the best time. Because the energy you leave your appointment with, is that same energy you bring to your event, so I take this extra responsibility very seriously!

I’ve been lucky enough to work across weddings, special events, branding shoots, corporate gigs, and film & TV - so I know how to create a look that lasts, looks flawless on camera, and feels totally you. Whether you want a glowing bridal glow, sleek corporate glam, or something editorial and extra, I tailor everything to your style and the vibe of the day.

My mission is simple: luxury beauty with an ethical purpose. Because looking good should never cost the planet or your wellbeing.

Let’s make you feel stunning, confident, as well as having had an amazing experience.
