Brendan has been styling for Darkus Magazine for several years and is responsible for creating hair for many Darkus front covers. “I’m delighted to be given this award. I love working with Darkus, the wonderful talent they feature, and the incredible creatives who make up the shoot team.”

Darkus is a music, fashion and lifestyle magazine that say, “The annual Darkus Awards are a chance to relive the special moments we’ve had as a magazine and pay tribute to some of the amazing and inspirational people we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with.”

Cover features that Brendan has worked on for Darkus include talents such as Nicola Coughlan, Hayley Squires, Darci Shaw, Bellsavvy and Rika.

In addition to session styling, Brendan is a successful salon owner alongside his business partner Wendy Higgins. Their salon, Brendan O’Sullivan Hair and Beauty, has been the leading salon in Amersham for over 17 years, recognised for exceptional service, team development and creative vision.

Brendan says, “Alongside ongoing team education, we feel our involvement in celebrity shoots, session styling, and Fashion Weeks around the world provides great insight for emerging trends and therefore contributes to us offering the very best creativity, service and advice to our clients.”

“The Darkus projects really are a family affair too. My son Luke is a talented photographer and videographer and is often involved in our shoots and creative projects. Luke has grown up around hair and fashion and deeply understands how to interpret a creative brief. It’s always great to have him on board.”
