Ross Kemp!!!!! NOT

What's the biggest tip you've ever received?

A house in the South of France

Any salon disasters or embarrassing moments?

I told a client her hair was in great shape and asked her who last cut it. Turns out I did. Can you imaging if I'd said her hair was a mess?

Have you won any hair awards?

I've always been good with my hands. Made jewellry then went into make-up. I was in a launderette and it came into my head to be a hairdresser

What is your greatest ambition?
