I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.

My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous.

I don't sort of sit in a chair and pompously feel proud of myself about all the things we might have accomplished.

My mother left me for seven years in an orphanage.

I came home after a year and although my profession was only hairdressing, I knew I could change it.

I'm a great jazz fan.

There were so many pretty girls coming into the salon as clients, and others working in the salon. And I thought, 'Hmm. This is rather nice.'
