What do you love about hairdressing right now?
So many hair artists are offering education and it is so inspiring to see them sharing their skills and smashing sold-out classes!
How do you feel about helping to rewrite the rules?
The industry is so much more sharing and kinder than it was when I started 10 years ago. Mental health is talked about more than ever before. It feels so good to be a part of that change moving forward.
What would you say to a young person considering a career in hair?
Wear gloves while washing hair! Contact dermatitis is real and can affect your career… And you’ve really got to love it and WANT to do hair. Or it’s not worth it.
If you could change one thing about the industry, what would it be?
Higher hairdressing apprenticeship wages! So much hard work goes into training and it needs to be rewarded to encourage more younger people to join this amazing industry.

One of my clients, Jess. She always lets me do WHATEVER I like – this glows under UV light!
Possibly one of my favourites! I got to do whichever Crazy Color look I could dream of, and I’m so proud, it took ages!
