Bring out the eyes.

Hair excited me. As the old ways - backcombing, rollers and rigidity - went out of the window, I started to feel the possibilities in front of my eyes.

If you get hold of a head of hair on somebody you've never seen before, cut beautiful shapes, cut beautiful architectural angles and she walks out looking so different - I think that's masterful.

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.

It's hard to give advice. There are so many people, how do you give major advice to a group of people, it's very presumptuous.

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