I'm Melissa Hartzel, a holistic skin care and wellbeing coach, helping clients achieve healthy radiant skin by addressing the interconnected factors of their diet, lifestyle, emotional well-being and skin care routines. My integrative approach empowers clients to make sustainable changes for their skin health and overall quality of life. I am a trained beauty therapist, make-up/hair artist, qualified beauty tutor and certified wellness coach. In addition to my private clients, for the past 30 years I have worked across all areas of the media, with clients in fashion, lifestyle, editorial, television and film. I am very passionate about my work and have enjoyed an exciting career to date. 

​

Having attended the Italia Conti theatre school as a child, I enjoy working on both sides of the camera and can often be found creating beauty content and making appearances on TV and at events as a make-up/beauty expert.

 

I enjoyed being a part of the hit Channel 4 consumer series 'Shop Secrets Tricks of the Trade', in which I went undercover in a hight street beauty salon to investigate beauty industry scams. Other on screen credits include guest presenting beauty segments on some of the UK's favourite shopping channels, as well as having the incredible opportunity of going undercover for E4 as a massage therapist in the hidden camera comedy prank show 'iCon'. I have also worked as a spokesperson for brands such as Rimmel, NYX and Makebelieve and worked alongside Ed Sheeran playing a parody presenter in his music video 'Anti Social'.
