What do you enjoy most about this job?

“ Being a hairstylist is definitely a lifestyle more than a job! You’re looking at different aesthetics and styles constantly whilst creating haircuts and taking inspiration to make new styles. So subconsciously its always on my mind, that drive to explore different styles that is one of my favourite things.’’

What is the greatest influence over your haircuts?

“The greatest influence on any haircut is its suitability and longevity. Every cut should complement the client's hair type, face shape and, most importantly, their day-to-day lifestyle. A great haircut isn't judged solely by how it looks when you leave the shop it's judged by how well it grows out. How it looks three weeks later is just as important as how it looks on day one. ’’‍
