I came home after a year and although my profession was only hairdressing, I knew I could change it.

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.

I'm a great jazz fan.

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

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

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

There were so many pretty girls coming into the salon as clients, and others working in the salon. And I thought, 'Hmm. This is rather nice.'
