PARIS FRANCE
CUTTING EXPERT
I began my hairdressing career in 2000 as an assistant at Vidal Sassoon, where I progressed through various roles within the salon and school, eventually becoming a Creative Director.
This role allowed me to teach, travel, and refine my craft. After an incredible 11 years, I took a year out to explore South America, followed by a fun-filled season working in a beach restaurant in the South of France. Upon returning to London,
I quickly re-joined the industry at Radio Hair Salon and Gallery as a Senior Creative Director. During my time there, I led the education team, created multiple collections, and worked on exciting shoots and fashion shows. A standout moment was styling hair for the McQueen exhibition opening night at the V&A, and in 2015, I won an award with Bumble and Bumble, which took me to New York. Eager to expand my skills, I trained at Pinewood Studios in period hair and completed a makeup course, which I now integrate into my work.
Today, I’m fully immersed in the freelance world, working at Naedlae Thursday, Friday and Saturday while also taking on a range of projects in hair and makeup, including fashion shoots, short films, adverts, music, and sport. I’m inspired by the variety this career offers but always value the one-on-one client experience. My cutting style is precise, tailored, and finished with a delicate touch, aiming to provide every client with a memorable experience.

BONNEY
COLOUR SPECIALIST
I began my hairdressing career 20 years ago, starting out as a Saturday girl, but not before I dipped my toe into the car business...
I had been a keen and enthusiastic car washer from 13, learning the gift and value of being in service, looking after my regular and growing base of punters, my natural hard work ethic got me through, but the demand grew and I wanted more, so I progressed into the ever so crazy and wonderful world of hair!
My career has been a wonderful spectrum of differing roles and experiences. I trained and learnt to specialise in colour,
I was a part of the first L’Oréal Colour ID team, and have completed the highest levels of both L’Oréal and Redken’s colour specialist programmes. In 2014, I moved to Radio Hair, participating in shoots and shows as part of the art team, We ran training seminars and this developed my skills and knowledge in teaching.
While Balayage and Highlights are among my most requested services, I believe hair colouring should go beyond trends. I focus on creating bespoke colours that complement an individual’s skin tone, style, and personality.
Today my focus is my salon work, our clients, and developing my profession and skills to fuel personal and professional growth that can be shared. Whether you’re after a subtle refresh or a bold transformation, I look forward to welcoming you soon.
