Why did you choose a career in beauty?
As a child I always enjoyed watching my mother getting ready for parties and enjoyed playing dress up. So I got into the industry right after school.
What do you like and dislike about being a beautician?
I love meeting new people and building great friendships with my clients. There’s nothing I really dislike but rude clients are a bit challenging.
Who has been your biggest support in your life?
This may sound cliché but I have to say my husband since he’s in the same industry.
How do you keep up with the latest styles and trends?
I love to travel and do it as often as I can so that keeps me in the know-how.
How do you suggest treatments, cosmetics and skin therapies to your clients?
I ask them about their diet, life style and sleep pattern. Once I have a better understating, I make my recommendation.
How hard is it to run a saloon?
Gavin and I have been in the industry for a very long time so we know how to maintain a successful salon but what we do find challenging is with millennial staff – some of them don’t have a sense of commitment.
Tell me your style of work?
I’m inspired by the nature so my style of work reflects that – gentle and calm.
What are some of your most defining moments in life?
When I became a mother - nothing is life prepares you for that level of unconditional love.
What has been your favorite travel destination and why?
London! I love the historical sites and of course the shopping.
Tell me about your family?
My family is everything to me. They are my happy place.
What type of work environment do you prefer?
Serenity!
Who has impacted you most in your career and how?
There have been many. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to work with and be trained by some of the best in industry both here and internationally. I feel that has not only improved my professional skills but also my personality.

Eat everything I was not allowed to as a child.
If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done?
Probably wandered into some restricted area in a foreign country because the view was beautiful.
If someone asked to be your apprentice and learn all that you know, what would you teach them?
I love teaching and I think I’m pretty good at it. What is important is to find the individual’s strength and then build on that.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would love to have my husband’s self-confidence. He’s the only grown man I know who looks great in a Mickey Mouse T-shirt.
