My mother had a premonition and she felt that hairdressing would be very very good for me.

Hairdressers are a wonderful breed. You work one-on-one with another human being and the object is to make them feel so much better and to look at themselves with a twinkle in their eye.

If you have a sense of style and purpose and will you don't want to compromise.

I was born in 1928 and by 1931 the Depression was beginning to mount.

If you don't look good, we don't look good.

My greatest regret is selling my company.

A working woman could save a few shillings a week, and then every five weeks she'd come in and we'd cut her hair. She could shampoo it under the shower, swing it and dry it off or just let it dry by itself. It changed the lives of many young girls who'd never had the opportunity to be styled like that before.
