Running a business can consume all your time, even when you’re not working. To be quite honest, I find it hard to strike that perfect work/life balance, but when I do manage it, I love to go and get reflexology, have a massage and just chill out. I also love attending auctions, finding out what’s happening with vintage clothing, as well as keeping an eye on the. property market – I find it all really interesting.
This collection was called Religion and it was captured by a very good friend of mine called Jenny Hands. The concept was about how women in religion are sometimes dictated to through clothing or their ‘armour’, but if you take off these layers and strip them back, the real persona is shown. The whole team got behind it – we had a set built and there was the most electric atmosphere. It was probably one of the best shoot days I’ve ever had.
Without a doubt, winning British Hairdresser of the Year in 2015. It felt like a pinnacle moment from when I chose this career at the age of 17.
Another highlight that stands out was receiving an award from Faye Tozer from Steps in front of a sold-out Wembley Stadium! I was her hairdresser at the time, and she’d invited me along to watch their concert. Unbeknown to me, Faye had just won the Best Female Haircut title at the Smash Hits Awards, which was a huge deal back then. She came out on the stage with her trophy and introduced me to the whole of Wembley – it was just the most surreal moment!
To Eat: Sushi at SushiSamba. It’s just the best.
To Visit: Barcelona. I could definitely see myself living there one day.
To Listen: Flex FM. It’s a bit hardcore, but I love it when I’m in the car on my own.
To Watch: A really good paranormal horror. I love that on-the-edge-of-the-seat energy that’s a bit like a rollercoaster ride!
To Read: I’m not currently reading a book, but instead I’m listening to the podcast “How I Built This” for its uplifting and motivational stories from entrepreneurs.
To Wear: Understated Westwood. That’s my go-to.
To Use: Kératase L’incroyable Blowdry Lotion
To Look Up To: I think I look up to life itself; living in the moment is so important to me. Just enjoy it while you can.
