Beauty shouldn't be taken too seriously. Life is stressful enough! Hair should be creative and crazy.

I must say, Gisele's [Bundhen] got some of the best hair I've ever touched.

Everyone has an opinion and I think we're at a time which is very heated all over the world, so of course people will speak out. And they have every right to.

I'm not giving up on my work. I'm still trying to challenge people's aesthetics and myself.

I didn't do great in school. I didn't have many options. I mean, I'd like to have gone to art college, but I didn't have the grades. I didn't have any qualifications. But I had some friends who were hairdressers, so I just thought, Well, I'll have a go at it.

I think now because of this whole social media thing, people obviously felt these things [about cultural appropriation] before, and they comment on everything.

Every culture to me - be it Asian, African, be it whatever - is a source of reference. I don't think I'm 'stealing' it or anything.
