WHY DID YOU WANT TO BE<br />
A HAIRDRESSER?<br />
I started hairdressing when<br />
I was still at school, working<br />
at the weekend. At the start<br />
it was more hairdressing in<br />
the salon but I found myself<br />
becoming obsessed with the<br />
competitive and editorial<br />
sides and I knew it was<br />
what I wanted to do in life.<br />
I remember seeing my first<br />
boldly coloured, precision<br />
cut and I thought ‘this is<br />
for me’. The creative side of<br />
hairdressing goes beyond<br />
what people outside of the<br />
trade see – we can bring an<br />
idea or a moodboard to life,<br />
all through the art of hair.<br />
WHAT ARE YOUR HIGHLIGHTS SO FAR?<br />
It was 100 per cent getting onto the IHF Star<br />
Team. After the first interview stage I realised<br />
then how much I actually wanted it. The<br />
support from all of the girls and my boss at<br />
Zinc was amazing, they had my back all of the<br />
way. I was the last name announced, which<br />
was a relief, but looking at some of the best in<br />
Irish hairdressing cheering was well worth the<br />
wait. I would recommend to every junior in the<br />
industry to enter this as the opportunities and<br />
experiences are endless.<br />

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS’ TIME?<br />
That is always a hard question to answer, especially because<br />
at the moment there are so many opportunities. For me it’s all<br />
about education, competitions and photoshoots. It’s what got<br />
me obsessed with hair to begin with!<br />
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM HAIRDRESSING GIG?<br />
There are too many to just mention one. It would definitely<br />
be a dream to pick up some of the iconic awards in the<br />
hairdressing industry. <strong>Creative</strong> <strong>HEAD</strong>’s Most Wanted Awards,<br />
IHF Hairdresser of the Year, L’Oréal Colour Trophy and<br />
ALFAPARF Milano Fantastic Hairdresser to name a few!<br />
