“For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.”

“So I was shampooing at 14. But I've always thought that had I the opportunity for an education, I would have been an architect. There's no question about it.”

“In the sixties, everyone you knew became famous. My flatmate was Terence Stamp. My barber was Vidal Sassoon. David Hockney did the menu in a restaurant I went to. I didn't know anyone unknown who didn't become famous.”

“Hairdressers are a wonderful breed. You work one-on-one with another human being and the object is to make them feel so much better and to look at themselves with a twinkle in their eye.”

“I was all about my thoughts, my work, my inspiration. I was always in hair.”
