Brittany Deen
Moroccanoil Artist
Ever since Brittany was a little girl, she has been passionate about anything and everything beauty—even orchestrating her own photo shoots in vintage dresses and doing avant-garde makeup in her bathroom. From the beginning, it was clear to her that beauty was her calling; that beauty is an outlet through which she could express herself.
Today, she finds it very rewarding to pay it forward by helping others express themselves and their uniqueness through her craft, and continues to be inspired by the talented artists with whom she has surrounded herself in the industry.
Brittany considers makeup guru Bobbi Brown an influence. Having read her book at age 12, she loved how, as an artist, Brown tried to bring out a woman’s natural beauty instead of covering it up.
She often looks to fashion designers, new and old, for inspiration. Observing how a designer’s style evolves over time really motivates her to continuously grow and diversify her portfolio and create new, different styles.
A Moroccanoil partnership was a natural progression to Brittany’s continued love of beauty and hairstyling.

not to be stretched like straight hair when you cut it.”
She enrolled in beauty school while living in Mexico at age 24 and hasn’t looked back. In her two decades as a stylist, colorist, and educator, Deborah Camacho has seen her work featured in the
magazines Estilos and Alta Peluqueria, written a beauty column, and served as lead hairstylist for a TV show in Mexico.
A specialist in dry cutting and color correction, Deborah is inspired by the creative possibilities she finds behind the chair. “The huge range of artistic potential to be explored is never-ending.”
She was drawn to Moroccanoil by the brand’s elegant aesthetic, the effectiveness of the products, and the positive attitude exuded by members of the Education Team—especially VP of Artistry Kevin Hughes and Global Creative Director Antonio Corral Calero. “They are some of the most talented but also down-to-earth, humble, and patient artists and educators,” she says. That positivity fuels her own work as an educator. “The passion I perceive in others ignites my own!”

“I have always wanted to do an artistic job, to draw reality in my own way,” says stylist Michel Baltazar. “Because every face is different, it creates the possibility to work with different effects and textures to find the essence of each client or model through their hair.”
This artistry has fuelled Michel’s many achievements as a stylist, including serving as Hair and Makeup Director for the Bombay Times Fashion Week and GQ Fashion Nights, as well as editorial shoots for Vogue, Elle, Rolling Stone, GQ, Hello, and other elite magazines.
Michel thrives on the constantly changing nature of the beauty industry. “Trends remind us that nothing is fixed, everything is in perpetual movement. Every day is a new day,” he says. His innate curiosity also inspires him to seek inspiration in other fields, such as music, cinema, dance, and design. “It’s the way to have a global vision and an enlightened point of view.”
Why does he love Moroccanoil? “The vital role of styling and haircolor products is to create beauty. Moroccanoil does it perfectly.” The brand’s focus on creating a transportive experience also aligns with Michel’s approach. “Taking care of your hair with the right products is not just a necessity, it's a real moment of relaxation and happiness,” he says. “I am proud to embody the Moroccanoil philosophy during my education trainings.”

She discovered Moroccanoil when the salon where she worked started carrying the brand’s haircare products. “It was love at first sight,” she recalls of the brand’s signature turquoise packaging. “Then I used the products and fell in love even more. ”But it was Moroccanoil’s educational offerings that cemented her loyalty to the brand. “I took a class at the Academy with Kevin Hughes, and at that moment I knew I wanted to work for Moroccanoil and be surrounded by such kind, inspiring, knowledgeable, and hardworking people.” Today, she still considers Keven Hughes, Moroccanoil’s Vice President of Artistry, to be her most important mentor.

Tatiana Dudley specializes in healthy haircare and all things curl. Thanks to her artistry and technique, Tatiana’s creations can be seen on social media pages for Moroccanoil Professionals, Behind the Chair, and Salon Centric—and of course her own Instagram, where she shares inspiration for countless curly and textured hairstyles.
Tatiana’s love for hairstyling started when she was growing up. Whenever the women in her family got their hair done, “the confidence that radiated from them was infectious,” she recalls. “I just knew I had to be part of that.”
Once she went pro, she quickly found her specialty. “After seeing the need for a stylist who focuses on healthy haircare and hair coloring practices, I decided to make that my niche,” she says. It’s no surprise that she fell in love with the argan oil-infused products of Moroccanoil. “It’s amazing to have a product line that caters to the varying hair types and textures I service,” she says.
In her teaching and her life, Tatiana believes empathy is key. “We all have a different journey in life,” she says. “So have grace with yourself when embarking upon new experiences, and extend that to others.”
