Hi Jo

Thank you for your interst in that show and in our work . I had the pleasure to create the hairstyle on that show for the episode 1 to 14 . It was a fantastic experience working with the actors, the costume crew and the make-up departement .This one was run by Colleen Quinton , who made an amazing job at creating those looks . For what I recall of that time , our mandate was to make those young adult vampires , looking good , sexy and modern . As for Ilona , she has a beautiful mane of hair , healty and shiny . I decided to work with texture more than form , to break the slikinness of her hair. For Karen , her Essie character , had to have a more edgy , strong and fashionable hairstyle . For the men , I work mostly with what they were wearing when I met them , I did accentuate the hairstyle and add some facial hair for a few of them . All of this came as the result the confidence and the wilingness of those fantastic actors and working with them at testing false hair , colors , extention , etc . I had a lot of fun and contentement working on that show .
