All hair is away from the face - there's no emotion and all of the personality is taken away. I envisioned the way a 'virtual girl' is drawn in a cartoon. Then I added these different colored extensions - white, red and black, which adds to the synthetic feeling of the hair. I used colors which looked most dramatic against each of the models' real hair. The different colors give you that pop of fakeness so we're not talking about reality. Like a futuristic princess.

I haven't got a good reputation with pain.

To be a good hairdresser, you have to understand what the vision is of the designer or the photographer and then sort of add your thing.

I worked in salons, where you do learn the basic sort of thing. But I didn't know anything about the kinds of things I'm doing now. I learned how to put hot-rollers in.

I took Instagram off my phone! I took it off because I found I was looking at it too much.

I try to be aware of technology and Japanese animation and old Belgian paintings, and get all my references from bits of everywhere.

I'm very lucky that I've worked mainly with two amazing photographers in David Sims and Steven Meisel.
