From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a hairdresser, and travel the world sound familiar? I was very fortunate to have a strict apprenticeship with a strong emphasis on the fundamentals of hairdressing.

Travel allowed me to be expressive, indulge in culture, History, textures, foods, and languages, reflecting in my work and teaching today.

I joined a very renowned salon group in Germany and became the colorist on the Artistic team, I attended many intense color programs, which I still do today This is where I completely fell into color, shape, creating movement, reflection, layering, bespoke formulations, and hair science. The lightbulb was lit.

Once I understood hair, hair color, Pre lightners, and what not to do it allowed me to fall into a world of what you can do. On my return to the UK, I was headhunted for the position of UK educational manager for a color brand, where I began devising commercial educational programs, events, shows, and photoshoots for, distributors, and hair salon groups. I worked alongside talented hairdressers, cutters, colorists, educators including our fabulous Jack Howard, and learnt so much!

I want to share the passion and knowledge within our Geek squad tribe. Knowledge is indeed the power that builds confidence, which strengthens our skills
