I started my career by cutting friends’ and family’s hair in my mum’s living room, which was where my passion for hair styling came from, changing the way people close to me looked and finding the best styles for their features and personality. After a brief spell in the Kings Road, Chelsea and in the US I returned to my home town of Leigh-on-sea and started developing and honing my skills and it was from there I opened my first salon and managed to gain a good reputation.

In 1998 my reputation kind of went into over drive when I won the award for Men’s British Hairdresser of the year and in 2000 I was able to open my second salon in Soho. Since then my life just seemed to go a little bizarre, I was voted into the This Morning television show by the public as one of their elite stylists. This combined with my other successes has enabled me to pursue my ideas with far more vigour, one of which was to launch my own product range in 2001. In 2002 I won probably my ultimate accolade the Most Influential Hairdresser of the Year which was incredible because it was voted by other professionals in the industry, the people who continue to inspire my work and push me into new directions.
