WHY DID YOU WANT TO BE
A HAIRDRESSER?
I felt like I could
express myself
through hair in a
creative way and
I did so from a
young age on my
own hair. I also
live for and crave
the sensation of
being able to make
people feel and
look amazing.
WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR HIGHLIGHTS SO FAR
It has been winning Wella TrendVision Award
UK and getting the opportunity to go to
Seville in March to represent the UK.
It gave me all the confidence
I was missing as a
stylist and, as a first
competition for me,
I had so much fun.
WHERE DO YOU
SEE YOURSELF IN
10 YEARS’ TIME?
Hopefully doing a lot more
editorial work and having
more opportunities to work
with different hair textures.
The hair industry allows a
stylist to go down so many
paths – I just want to try
everything and see what
I like doing the most.
WHAT WOULD YOUR
DREAM GIG BE?
Doing Lily Allen’s
hair. A close second
would be working
at New York
and Paris
Fashion Weeks.
