Being inducted into the 'Hall of Fame' was at first, a totally unexpected shock. It's amazing to be acknowledged by your peers, and still hard for me to fully comprehend.

But I've still got more I want to do! Even though I find it incredibly hard to come up with a new collection for the awards, it keeps my work constantly evolving. And winning them has given me lots of opportunities outside of the salon. National and international seminars and world wide photographic campaigns, all this has been extremely rewarding.

The Hair Expo Awards have not only done so much for the industry nationally, they have established Australian hairdressing firmly as a leader on the international stage. To be part of the Hall of Fame among such a strong, talented stock of brilliant hairdressers that contribute so much to our industry, is a great honour.
