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

The essence is, what can we do next? And will it be good?

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

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.

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

I got a telegraph from my mother who said that my step-father had had a heart attack, come home and earn a living. So I went back to England and the only thing I knew to earn any cash was through hairdressing.
