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

When the doubters tell you it can't be done and all kind of tragedies will come your way, I say nonsense. If you can get to the very root of who you are and make something happen from it, my sense tells me you are going to surprise yourself.

I kept thinking I would be spending my life up to my elbows in shampoo.

From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism.

For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.

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.

You either create something and you keep it a secret and you die with it, or you can benefit the craft.
