"I still enjoy hairdressing as much as I did in 1993, when I started as a Saturday boy. The relationships you build with both colleagues and clients along with the creativity and ability to make people feel like a million dollars is what sets hairdressing as a career apart from many others, and i love this! In my spare time I enjoy varied activities including Pilates, socialising, films and travelling and seeing new places".

"I have been a hairdresser for 25 years, I always wanted to be a hairdresser because I have a great eye for what suits my clients - especially to suit their personalities and lifestyle.
