If you have a sense of style and purpose and will you don't want to compromise.

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.

For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.

You either create something and you keep it a secret and you die with it, or you can benefit the craft.

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

If someone were to ask me, 'What's the number one thing, in essence, that you left behind?'... it was the teaching of others, so that they could take my work and take it further.

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