Which styles or colours do you absolutely love doing?  I enjoy all aspects of hairdressing. My favourites are blow drying as you can see the final result really come together. I also really enjoy doing highlights, I love working out where to put certain colours to highlight areas of the face and brighten up complexions.

What do you love about being a hairdresser?  I love coming to work to create different looks and help people who need advice to manage their hair and make people feel good about themselves.

Who or what inspires you to create fabulous hair?  My initial inspiration to become a stylist was the TV programme 10 Years Younger because the hair made such a difference in the makeovers. I get inspiration daily from looking at people’s hair wherever I am, seeing how people style their hair when they’re out and about. Also in the salon, I am inspired by my colleagues who create amazing hair.

What is your ultimate ambition?  I feel as though I am living my ultimate ambition right now. However, the dream is to have my own salon.

How would you describe yourself in three words?  Friendly, smiley and open.

Tell us something about you that would surprise others?  I can push my belly button inside out!
