Film Hair Designer Dublin
& Technical Hair for TV
I am Leticia Vera. The harsh reality of shooting in Ireland is that weather and 12-hour studio shifts destroy standard hairstyles. As your Head of Department, I provide rigorous technical hair design and wig blocking for Line Producers and any director who cannot afford continuity errors. My focus is entirely on protecting your eligible expenditure and preventing costly post-production fixes.
A Dublin film production
is not a retail salon
A massive bottleneck I consistently see in Dublin productions arises from hiring consumer-oriented stylists. A soundstage is not a retail hair salon. Hiring a "mobile hairdresser" who lacks training in optical calibration drastically multiplies your costs. When a hairstyle collapses during an action sequence, it ruins recorded footage and paralyzes your entire camera team.
My technical execution is exact: I engineer structural anchors to withstand the demanding conditions of Irish locations. To refine project budgets and comply with the strict guidelines of the Dublin City Film Office, you need a freelance professional accustomed to the pressure, the SIPTU crew tier rates, and absolute visual control inside major facilities like Ardmore Studios or Troy Studios.
Block 02 — Technical Diagnosis
Why an unspecialized profile
destroys your call sheet
Catastrophic Continuity Loss
Unlike a retail client who goes home, an actor's hair must look identical in shots filmed weeks apart. I metrically document every detail to prevent raccord flaws from destroying the narrative in your final edit.
Period Styling Failures
Period drama requires extreme niche skills. Consumer stylists fail at historical accuracy and technical wig blocking, leading to unnatural movement on screen and heavy VFX correction costs.
Dailies Discrepancies
I work anticipating the rushes. If flyaways and structural failures are only noticed during the dailies review by the executive producers, the financial damage to the production is already done.
Disruption of Sound & Camera
Poorly secured hair interferes with lavalier microphones and casts unwanted shadows. My operational shielding ensures the hair department never acts as an obstacle to the sound mixer or DoP.

Rigor, structure and continuity
on the Dublin film shoot
— Step 01
Script Breakdown & Design
I perform a thorough script breakdown, researching historical accuracy or contemporary character arcs. I design looks that inform the audience about the character's journey without compromising technical stability.

Wig Blocking & Prep
Pre-production is where money is saved. I manage the budget, sourcing, and rigorous wig blocking before the cameras roll, ensuring flawless lace-front integration for 8K resolution.

On-Site Monitoring
I monitor the image take by take through the combo. I keep continuity unaltered and perform ultra-fast technical touch-ups between scenes to ensure your shooting rhythm never halts.
Block 04 — B2B Operations
Production Inquiries
Yes. Hiring a specialized, compliant Head of Department ensures that my fees and department expenses count towards your eligible expenditure under Ireland's Section 481 film and television tax incentive.
No. I strictly decline any retail inquiries. My workflow is not designed for a bridal party, I do not offer bridal hair updos, nor do I provide balayage or hair extensions for individuals. I am not a mobile hairdresser for personal occasions. If someone wants to make a booking for a wedding day or a party hair styling session, I would strongly recommend looking for a commercial salon. My expertise is exclusively reserved for B2B audiovisual productions.
Industry Track Record
Over many years in the field, Leticia Vera has expanded her creative art, being recognized as a leading member of the audiovisual industry. Today, she collaborates seamlessly with makeup artists and the costume department to ensure great visual cohesion. Whether working in London or Dublin, her agency experience guarantees that everyone on the crew gets exactly what is needed.
A lot of other stylists come from fashion, which can cause issues. But cinematic narrative is a completely new brand of expertise. She has become the professional that most producers trust to stand out and deliver, even within the tightest schedules. They always get the best results.
