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 />
