For me the working of hair is architecture with a human element.

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.

My mother left me for seven years in an orphanage.

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

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

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

To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.
