What’s your favourite thing about being a Fanola Artist?

My favourite thing about being a Fanola Artist is connecting and interacting with the other amazing artists!

What are your favourite Fanola products?

My absolute fave Fanola product is definitely the No Yellow Shampoo I could not live without it in my kit.

Lose brass in a flash 💫💜⁠ ⁠ How to use our No Yellow Shampoo 👇🏻⁠ ⁠ 🌟REMEMBER 🌟 Depending on the condition and colour (Porous and the lighter the hair is) can result in tones being more visible and violet within the hair. If this happens use one of our regular shampoos to balance it out until its back to your desired shade. But don’t worry babes it’s doing its job to beat the brass 👊🏻⁠ ⁠ ▫️ Apply to wet hair, massage, leave for 1-5 minutes, lather and rinse off. Repeat if necessary.⁠ ⁠ ▫️ It is recommended to use once a week to help maintain the perfect blonde and stretch out the time between salon visits.

How would you describe yourself in three words?

Motivated, driven, and creative. 

What was your dream job when you were younger? Have you always had a passion for hair?

When I was younger, I always wanted to be a hairdresser, and I had a natural flair and talent for hairdressing. Here I am making my younger self proud!

What are your favourite hairstyles/looks to create?

My favourite looks to create are 100% a nice, bright icy blonde.

How did you become an expert in blondes and balayage?

After a lot of self-teaching and research. As well as inspiring to be like some of my favourite stylists.

If you could choose any celebrities hair to do who would it be and why?

Anyone who knows me will guess this in 0.1 seconds. It is Molly Mae! I would LOVE to recreate her beachy blonde hair!

Who/what inspires you as a hairstylist?

I inspire myself to be a better and more creative hairdresser every day! To always challenge myself and push myself to my creative limits.

Have you had a lot of clients with box dye disasters after lockdown?

My clients were all very well behaved, and all my blonde babes had their hair saved by your products! 

Does working in a salon make you want to experiment with your hair a lot?

I am a blonde babe through and through. There’s no tempting me to go to the darker side!
