How would you describe your personality in three words?

Crazy, Talkative, Outgoing

What part of hairdressing do you enjoy the most and why?”

Thats a tricky one as I love every aspect of hairdressing,  but I have to say the end result. Blowdrying the finished colour or cut, I feel like thats when the client gets that big glossy eyed moment and wow my hair is amazing, it just seeing the reaction to all my hours of work. Thats the best part for me.

What is your proudest moment as a hairdresser so far?

Coming from knowing nothing about hairdressing 6 years ago to falling into my apprenticeship, going from the beginning to now being a senior stylist. In that time i have done amazing work with Michael Kelly, great courses, balayages all colours and cuts.  I dedicated everything I had to my hairdressing career to be the best that I could be. To achieve that in the time that I have, I am pretty proud.

What is your favourite hair product to use and why?

Rich Repair 6 Effects serum. I don’t do anything without it, it’s your 6 in 1 so it’s a heat protectant, smooths the hair etc but most importantly it repairs. Which is inevitably what is going to make your hair feel amazing when it’s healthy and in a great condition.

And the KMS Makeover Dry Shampoo Spray: I don’t like washing my hair (sorry), so dry shampoo is essential for me; plus, in a fresh layer it adds lots of body and texture.”
