What are your 3 favourite albums

“Kendrick Lamar - to pimp a butterfly. In my opinion it’s a perfect album, it’s always a treat to re listening.

Kanye West - Yeezus. This album is nuts and came out when I really began to love music

Anderson Paak - Malibu. I listen to probably once a week

Honourable mention would have to be Aslan - Made in Dublin. All recorded live in the famous Vicar Street In Dublin during the 90s. Check this one out to have your socks blown off you by some of the best music to come out of Ireland’’.

What do I enjoy most about this job?

“The connections you can make with people is amazing. Coming from Ireland we are born with the gift of the gab and once I get going I could talk for Ireland, I take after my mother. Getting to be creative with hair is pretty special and having this ability to change somebody’s life with a haircut can be so rewarding! ’’.

Your influences in our Industry?

“Charlie grey is a worldwide educator, I’ve learned a lot from Charlie online training platform. Emulating his style of cutting and putting my own spin on it can give my haircuts an effective, sharp and wearable haircut that are tailored to my clients needs

John Keegan, my first boss in this industry. John took me under his wing in 2014, I was a spotted socially awkward teen. So many people thought I wasn’t going to make it in this industry but he moulded and shaped me into the person and barber I am today! One of the OGs of Irish barbering and a legend in this industry.

I look up to my peers and numerous worldwide barbers thanks to the accessibility of Instagram and online content” .
