s t ree t, how a r e you e njoy in g h avin g your
own salo n ?
It’s great, I absolutely love being able to put all
my own ideas into practice.
h ow lo ng have you be e n hair d r e s sin g for ?
I started working in a hairdressing salon when
I was 15 years old while I was still at school.
I worked in the same salon for 7 years. Now
coming up for the first anniversary of having
my own business, my goodness time does fly
when you’re having fun.
what ’s yo u r s pecialit y or s ig n atur e h a ir st y l e ?
Oh that really is a hard question to answer. I
get lots of compliments on everything I do. I
couldn’t pin point a speciality, you’d have to ask
my clients that one.
what are the u pcoming ha ir t r e n d s for th is
y ear… wh at’s in a nd w hat’ s on its way ou t?
I’d say retro styles are in this year. It’s very hard
to say what’s on its way out because nothing
really ever does go out, there is always some sort
of adjustment to a style, for example, the bob
never goes out of fashion but from one year to
the next there are variations of the style.
b ei ng a h a ir dr e s se r you m u st h e a r a l l th e

Most of my clients might not know that my
eyes are two different colours.
gi v e u s some top tip s for h e a lth y h a ir
Top tip for healthy hair would be, you need to
have a good balanced diet. Hair requires protein
and iron which helps your blood ferry oxygen
to your hair follicles, you also need zinc which
helps enzymes build and repair your hair. A
good healthy diet shows in your hair. Also, don’t
forget your regular trims.
if you c o u l d gi v e a n y cel eb r i t y a h a i r
m a k eove r , wh o wo u l d yo u ch o o s e a n d wh at
woul d you d o ?
Right now I would have to choose Kim
Kardashian, personally I think she suits darker
hair. Darker hair complements her skin tone. I
would darken her hair back down to her natural
colour and give her a few hi lights throughout
her hair, not blonde, some warm brown/caramel
tones which would complement her darker eye
colour. When I saw her on tv the other day I
thought... She’s going far too blonde.
wh at th r e e wo r d s wo u l d yo u u s e to d es c r i b e

Welcoming, historic and connected.
wh at d o yo u lov e a b o u t yo u r cl ien t s ?
I love how supportive, kind, friendly, caring and
honest they are. We always have good laughs.
It’s such a pleasure to welcome them all into
my salon.

Follow your dreams and believe in yourself
and your product. Have a good think about
where exactly you want to progress to and then
get stuck in. The thing I learnt was, always
remember, don’t let anyone tell you the sky is
the limit when there’s footprints on the moon.
Go for it!
