Hair that grows out well

Cuts, colour and hair care in a quiet studio in Paddington.

About the studio

I've spent 18 years cutting and colouring hair, backstage at fashion shows, on magazine shoots and, since 2014, here in Paddington. What I care about most is how your hair looks six weeks from now, when you're doing it yourself.
