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

Judaism is important to me from a tribal point of view.

My mother left me for seven years in an orphanage.

Hair excited me. As the old ways - backcombing, rollers and rigidity - went out of the window, I started to feel the possibilities in front of my eyes.

Take good advice, make sure it is good advice, then do it your way.

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

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