Even though the industry is very big and there's lots of money, when it gets down to it, whether it's a photographer or a designer, as well as a stylist or makeup artist, you're really only working with maybe four or five people on a project. It's all quite small and intimate.

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

When you work with great people, you learn - about film, about clothing, about life, about sex.

Beautiful things are different.

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

I used to have more meltdowns backstage than I do [now].... It's not that it was ever cool, but right now, it just seems very uncool to have a meltdown. I'm not saying I'll never have one! But I've learnt to stop it just before it happens.

I didn't know I wanted to be a hairdresser. I was always interested in fashion and imagery in a very naive way, but it was always an attraction, like glitter balls.
