What inspired you to follow a career in the industry?
As a child, I always wanted to be a hairdresser, that’s why I started working in Cheynes! I wanted to be a part of the excitement, the family, the passion!
I’d look at the experienced stylists and think, “Wow, one day I want to be like you!”. Now, 31 years later I couldn’t be happier!!! It’s not just the hair, it’s everything — especially my relationships with the team, and my clients!
If you could style the hair of any celebrity, past or present, who would it be ?
Marilyn Monroe, she was absolutely beautiful. And that blonde… I love it!
What are the go-to products you can’t live without ?
Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm. It’s phenomenal for smoothing unruly hair. And the Colour Wow Dream Coat and Raise the Root.
What do you enjoy most about working with clients at your Cheynes salon?
The relationships. Getting to know clients and being there through the best, and worst of times. It’s nice knowing I can make a difference to how they feel.
What are your favourite sources for creative inspiration?
I spend time flicking through Vogue and Elle where I always find some inspiration, and Instagram, I’m always scrolling discovering different people and pages!
Favourite thing about working with Cheynes?
The feeling of belonging. They are my people, my family 🩷
Your ideal day off in Edinburgh?
Going a walk on Portobello beach with my dog, then a coffee to heat me back up at the Beach House.
