My greatest regret is selling my company.

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 never argued with my mother. You couldn't win.

When I was about 10 I ran away to see my father. He couldn't have cared less. He just took me back as soon as he could.

Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.

Capri on the Amalfi Coast in Italy is my ultimate holiday destination.

Most people have excellent necks. Now they cover them with curtains, which is kind of ridiculous. But there are some beautiful necklines that you can cut into and create wonderful backs, as well as bone structure for the face.
