10 Things You Might Not Know About Me... ☕️

1. Coffee is almost always within arm's reach. ☕️

If you've ever been to the salon, this probably won't come as much of a surprise! Whether I'm replying to messages, planning something new or writing for The Essence Edit, there's usually a coffee close by.

2. I have two little dogs who definitely run the house. 🐶

Belle and Winnie are a huge part of my life. They're complete opposites, full of personality, and somehow manage to brighten even the busiest days.

3. I also help run our family recycling business. ♻️

Most people know me through beauty, but I also spend half of my week working alongside my dad at Teesside Recycling Services. It's completely different to salon life, and I genuinely enjoy having the best of both worlds.

4. Beauty has been part of my life for over 20 years. 💅

I've always loved helping people feel good about themselves. Whether it's a fresh set of nails, beautiful brows or a little confidence boost, I genuinely love seeing someone leave the salon feeling happier than when they arrived.

5. I'm slightly obsessed with home interiors. 🏡

If I'm not in the salon, there's a good chance I'm scrolling for home inspiration, planning my next decorating project or moving things around for the hundredth time! I love creating cosy, welcoming spaces.

6. I'm forever chasing the perfect blonde. 👱🏼

Being blonde is definitely a labour of love! I'm always searching for that perfect shade – not too warm, not too ashy... if you're blonde too, you'll probably understand!

7. I'm always starting a new project. 💡

I love having something to work on. Whether it's launching a new treatment, redesigning my website, decorating a room or dreaming up my next idea, I always seem to have a project on the go.

8. I'm fascinated by personal growth. 🌱

I've always been interested in why we think the way we do and how small changes can make a big difference to our confidence and wellbeing. It's something I've spent years learning about, and it's still a big part of who I am today.

9. I've always wanted to write a book. 📚

Writing has always been something I've enjoyed, even if I've never really shared much of it before. Who knows... maybe The Essence Edit is my way of finally putting pen to paper, one article at a time.

10. I love a good chat. ☕️

If you've ever sat in my salon chair, you'll know I'm always up for putting the world to rights over a coffee. I think that's probably why I wanted to start The Essence Edit – it feels like an extension of those conversations.

 

I hope you've enjoyed getting to know me a little better! 😊

If you've made it this far, thank you for reading. I'd love to know if we have any of these things in common... or maybe there's something about you that people might not know!

Until next time...

With love,
