What are three adjectives you'd use to describe yourself?

Sociable, energetic, and athletic. My dynamism is one of my greatest strengths! I love to be in contact with people on an everyday basis-it helps put me in a good mood.

What's your professional background?

I realized from a very young age that I wanted to work as a hairstylist. Some of my best memories are of getting my hair cut with my grandmother. I loved it! I was immersed in a universe where fashion and hairstyling were everywhere. After hairstyling school, I wanted to evolve professionally within a salon and was offered a position as manager, one of the highlights of my career. I stayed there for three years before becoming a trainer for Jean Louis David.

Your specialty hairstyle?

For me, it's all about the cut. I love the concept of transformation. A woman can change her look radically with the right cut and that's really amazing.

What does the Jean Louis David universe represent to you?

It's the rock 'n roll brand, on-trend and urban. I've always liked the Jean Louis David brand image, I really identify with it and think a lot of women do too. I also like the fact that our special clipper technique allows us to stand out from other salons.

An unforgettable salon moment?

It was a pretty funny memory when a female client had done her own extensions at home...with catastrophic results! She came into the salon where I was working and I had to give her a tomboy cut to make it all right. Luckily she was thrilled, even if the two lengths were totally different!

If you were... A song?

I love Blondie. I could listen to their songs all day long! If I had to pick one it would be "Call Me" for the way I feel when listening to it. I love it.

A hashtag?

#travel. I'm obsessed with exploring and constantly want to go to some faraway place to take in new horizons.

A holiday destination?

Bali. An island on the other side of the world with heavenly beaches...I couldn't think of anything to make me happier!

An accessory?

I rarely leave the house without my sunglasses. I love how they make me feel like I'm on holiday. And if it's sunny outside, well then that's even better!

A rock icon?

Kate Moss, for everything she represents. After more than 20 years of work she's still one of the most admired and emulated women in the world. I love her style. It reminds me of the Jean Louis David look: rock 'n roll and urban.
