How did you take up long hair dressing?

I love long hairdressing, but I loved cutting and colouring too! So I had three passions! I think long hair appeals to my personality. I’m a very gregarious, larger than life person, I like the showmanship of long hair, because it is truly the craft.

We are called hairdressers for dressing hair – not hair cutters or hair colourists, because hairdressing is one of the most foundational aspects of our industry. But in the west we have forgotten our essence, not all of us, mind you!
