Billy Fry, aged 20, is a stylist at Strands Hairdressing, Hampshire, a salon group known for promoting its team members, something Billy is already benefiting from.


How did you get started in hairdressing? 
I started hairdressing as soon as I finished school. My mum has owned Strands for more than 22 years and I have always grown up with a massive interest in the industry.


What do you love most about the job? 
I absolutely love the social part of my job, whether that's with my clients, the team at Strands or speaking to inspirational hairdressers at the amazing industry events that I'm lucky to attend. 


Tell us about your role in the ghd Style Squad.
I was fortunate enough to be chosen as one of the members of the ghd Style Squad in 2012 and was picked to assist the ghd team and Kenna at London Fashion Week in September last year and February earlier this year. I also had the chance to work on photo shoots with the artistic team. 


What have been the highlights of your year with the team?
Working on London Fashion Week was a really amazing experience for me and has made me even more determined to get noticed and involved in the session side of hairdressing. 


What ambitions do you have for the future?
I would love to continue session styling and I am currently auditioning for the ghd artistic team, as I have had so many fun opportunities and have loved working with their close-knit team over my year with ghd. So fingers crossed!  


Who inspires you in hairdressing?
From the beginning of my career, Guido Palau's hairdressing has stood out for me. I love how his work is incredibly beautiful, but always has a slight punk edge to it. Zoe Irwin is another big inspiration for me, as part of the ghd Style Squad it was so exciting getting to work with Zoe. She is extremely interesting and has in-depth knowledge about anything hair related. I learnt so much in the days I spent with her.
