About
Melissa Hartzel is a British actor, presenter and on screen beauty expert. A mother of two, Melissa is known for her hilarious performance in Ed Sheeran's 'Antisocial' video, which to date has been viewed on Youtube over 70 million times. Melissa, who trained as an actor at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts put her acting skills to the test when going undercover in the eight part Channel 4 hit series 'Shop Secrets Tricks of the Trade' where she convincingly carried out hidden camera scams on the British public to raise awareness of unscrupulous beauty salons. Melissa continues to work in film and television.
As well as working as an actor and presenter, I am also a trained make-up/hair artist, beauty therapist and skin care specialist. I have been working with The Chelsea Laboratory to develop Firm & Restore Formula which is making exciting waves in the skincare market and I am very proud of its success. I have also worked as a spokesperson for brands such as Rimmel, NYX and Makebelieve. Over recent years I have had several opportunities to combine my on screen experience with my skills in the beauty industry and I had the incredible opportunity of going undercover for Channel 4 in the hidden camera show 'Shop Secrets Tricks of the Trade' playing the part of an under-cover, unscrupulous beauty therapist. I had to slap customers around the face and tell them it was good for their skin! More about my make-up, beauty and skincare work can be found here: www.melissahartzel.com
I am always pursuing new opportunities in film and television and have recently been part of some exciting pilots so I look forward to the future continuing with my career and having lots more fun along the way!
