Tell us a little bit about yourself
I'm a fun-loving, geeky, and outdoorsy person who recently moved to the area. I’m also a big animal lover and always up for an adventure.
Tell us why you wanted to be a hairdresser and a little about your hairdressing journey
I've always loved doing hair, even as a kid, I was the one styling friends and family for fun. That passion led me to pursue hairdressing more seriously at 24, when I started an apprenticeship in Cornwall and completed my Level 2 qualification. After that, I moved to Coventry and achieved my Level 3.
What do you most enjoy about hairdressing?
What I enjoy most about hairdressing is the combination of creativity and connection. I love building relationships with my clients, learning new techniques, and encouraging people to try fresh styles that boost their confidence. Every day feels different, and there’s always something new to learn or create.
Do you have a specialism?
Yes, I specialise in transformative colour work, everything from balayage and vivid colours to complete colour makeovers. I love helping clients express themselves through bold changes and creative techniques
What is your top tip?
Be yourself and communicate openly. When you share your style goals and trust your stylist’s advice (especially on maintenance), we can work together to create and maintain a look you truly love.
Have you ever competed in hairdressing competitions?
I’ve taken part in runway shows showcasing hair-up and wedding styles, which were an amazing creative experience. I’ve also had some of my vivid colour work featured in a K18 magazine, which was a proud moment in my career.
How long have you been hairdressing?
10 years.
