My hair right now:
Classic crop for ease, yet stylish.
The coolest look I
ever created: A very
eccentric and intricate updo
for a friend's birthday. She
looked like an exaggerated
combination of My Fair Lady
and Dangerous Liaisons.
The celeb I would most
like to makeover: All the
celebrities that I love don't need
makeovers. I would love to work
on either Cate Blanchett, Kate
Winslet or Marion Cotillard.
My favorite tool and/
or product: My Mason
Pearson brush and the Barex
Volumizante spray.
The best thing about
my job: I love doing it.
Expressing my creativity, being
able to give instant gratification,
and making a living at it.
The toughest part
of my job: Learning
people management skills and
practicing patience.
My motto: Find your
passion, be determined and
diligent, and you will succeed.
The meaning of success is up for
interpretation.
The best job I
ever had as a
hairdresser: Working
with Jennifer Lopez.
If I hadn't become a
hairdresser I would
have: Loved to have been a
dancer.
My secret talent:
Sewing.
My mentor: I have
collaborated with many
hairdressers and learned a lot
from them, but I always think
of Oribe and his work as my
biggest influence.
I am inspired by:
Fashion. Watching backstage
footage of the shows and by
the extravagance of the fashion
atmosphere.
