So I Was Shampooing At 14. But

Hair Excited Me. As The Old Ways - Backcombing, Rollers And Rigidity - Went Out Of The Window, I Started To Feel The Possibilities In Front Of My Eyes.

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.

During The Late '20s My Father Left Us. My Mother Was In A Complete Hole With No Money, And We Were Evicted.

If You Get Hold Of A Head Of Hair On Somebody You've Never Seen Before, Cut Beautiful Shapes, Cut Beautiful Architectural Angles And She Walks Out Looking So Different - I Think That's Masterful.

You Never Argued With My Mother. You Couldn't Win.
