Creativity runs across many categories in life, from the arts-and-crafts project a mum or dad does with their kids, to the bestselling author's manuscript, to the designs of the hairdresser, to the creations of the computer programming genius.

Like a therapist hairdressers are in a position of trust. We are transforming not just how a person looks but how they feel.
