New directions: When you are highly motivated, you get inspiration from the hair that’s in front of you, rather than seeing a picture in a magazine and saying "that’s what I’m going to do". I pick up on what is happening on the catwalks, in movies and magazines, and look at the client and adapt it to what their hair is telling me.

I think w/ hairdressing you don’t just look at the hairstyle and cut the hair, you really do have to think – look at the hair growths, look at the person and look at the hair as you are actually cutting. You can change your mind through a hair cut because the hair is responding in a different way and you might get more inspired by that way, and go for something totally different.

Beautiful Hair: It’s the 90’s – anything that is beautiful and brings out your features– modern is uncomplicated. I’m really against people having to blow-dry their hair if they can help it. It’s a habit that people have to learn to get out of. Add up one hour every morning for the rest of your life – that’s a lot of living you miss out on!

Reflecting to my clientele, my work is very simplistic. I still get off in a big way cutting hair and changing people. People try too hard to do their hair, and as a hairdresser, I don’t try too hard to dress the hair – I make it "wash and wear". I really look at their body, their facial features - I want them to look good in two weeks time. That’s what I strive for.
