Worst part of the job: I don't think there is one, although it would be nice to work more sociable hours! That's the industry we are in though, and it's not likely to change as it's about consumer demand.

If I wasn't a hairdresser I would be: I've always wanted to be a hairdresser, but if I was pushed to choose another career, I'd say midwifery.
