I've just came back from an incredible yoga retreat on a little Greek Island Amorgos. It's given me the insight into the moves in need to make as our life is evolving. I have worked so hard since age 13, learning my craft as a hairdresser at my first ever salon as a Saturday assistant. thank you for believing in me all those years ago...I then left school at 15 with all my GCSES (mixture of A's B's C's & a A* if you don't mind!) I then flew the nest to work at Toni & Guy which was such a fun time for me and then I found my way to Beverly Cobella in Kensington age 19. This was a massive part of my career as I worked with a multi national collective of some of the best in the business , the artistic talent just oozed from our team. I trained under some incredible stylists and technicians who never clipped my wings. I was working alongside those who create what you see in mainstream fashion for hair, doing hair shows and congresses at the royal Albert hall and all the celebs jetting into town.
Once I was fully qualified working on the floor the flagship Cobella store opened in Selfridges and I worked with an awesome team, many of who are still some of my good friends today.
After a little bit of travelling I moved from west end to the city and worked at Toni and guy Essentuals, where I built up a solid client base with a view to work in TV & film. I was doing fashion shows, commercials and loving life with my best friends but I was working so much on the side at home, so eventually I went part time and then eventually fully freelance. Here I really came into my own with building the foundations which led me to owning a mustard, the salon I never even wanted! I
In 2011 mustard opened its doors and in 2013 after pouring my heart and soul into it , I moved it to bigger premises with more staff, as it was a huge success. After having Hvar in 2016, it begun to get harder and harder as we moved away from Chingford and I wanted to sell. Whilst I was really successful I honestly never really wanted a salon, I loved working in TV and film, and it's always been about my clients. My clients and what I love most....
