My light bulb moment…
The day we found a great site for our salon, Brooks+Brooks. We had been looking for three months and as soon as we saw the premises we knew that our dreams could become reality.
My scariest decision…
After two years of running our own salon, we bought the premises next door and expanded the salon by one-third.
I knew I made it when…
When I asked a taxi driver if he could take me to Sicilian Avenue, and he said: “Oh yes, I know it, that is where that famous hairdresser is.”
If I could go back 10 years…
I wouldn’t change a lot. My business partner Sally and I, have both made mistakes, but we have learnt from them. If anything we were over-cautious in the early years.
I’ll never take for granted…
The dynamic and trust between Sally and myself which we have from working together.
The most important lesson I’ve learnt…
To trust my gut instinct, believe in myself and to have the balls to go with my initial feeling.
My favourite piece of advice…
Never chase money, let money find you and the harder I work, the luckier I get.
I owe it all to…
Sally, my parents and the great team at Brooks+Brooks.
