WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING, WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE THING TO DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?
I love walking my dog, particularly along the coastline or in the countryside. I also really love to travel and explore new places and cultures, whilst also spending as much time as possible in Sandbanks too!
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE INSPIRATION BEHIND YOUR LATEST COLLECTION OR FAVOURITE SHOT?
Individuality is the name of my latest collection with WELOVE, which actually helped to spawn a lot of the ethos and philosophy behind the brand. Individuality is all about celebrating our own unique style as hair pros.
CAN YOU SHARE WITH US ONE OF YOUR PROUDEST HAIRDRESSING MOMENTS?
I have a few, so it’s hard to choose just one! If I had to, it would be the day we secured Habia endorsement for WELOVE Purple Hearts. We worked so hard as a team to get this, and it really put us on the map as an education brand. Meeting some of the people I have met over the years has also been amazing – someone like Carlo Oliveri really stands out for me. That’s one of the greatest things about hairdressing, the people that you meet. Winning a BHA and going up to get the trophy was incredible too!
Quick fire favourites
TO WATCH: I could watch love actually over and over again, any time of the year! I am also an interior design addict, so i watch design programmes constantly.
TO READ : I love to read autobiographies, particularly about entrepreneurs. I loved Vidal Sassoon’s, and i’m in the middle of Steven Bartlett’s at the moment.
TO LOOK UP TO: it has to be madonna, she is an absolute icon and an inspiration for anyone in a creative business.
TO VISIT: Anywhere the sun shines! Failing that, I love to be by the sea.
TO LISTEN: My favourite band ever is Mark Hollis and talk talk. The albums the colour of Spring and spirit of eden are absolutely amazing.
TO EAT: I love a hai 6 restaurant and pad thai is my favourite dish.
TO USE: Carlo Oliveri’s sicilian products are amazing – I love that they are all from the mediterranean! The hero product for me is the smoothing serum, it smooths the cuticles and gives the hair a lovely shine.
TO WEAR: I always 8 think it’s not what you wear, it’s how you wear it – but I do love Dior or Chanel!
Here I am in front of Poole Harbour – it’s one of my favourite places to be on the whole planet! I’m so lucky that this spot is right on my doorstep, it’s called Harbour Heights and the views are just amazing. I set up WELOVE HQ here in Sandbanks to educate from in a holistic way – just talking about it makes me feel relaxed!
