ABOUT
"My biggest fear as a young stylist at Vidal Sassoon in London, was that a client would sit in my chair and ask me to do a style that I could not do. I think this fear has made me a lifelong learner! 40-years later, I am still hungry to learn and be relevant in today's fashion."
~ Vivienne Mackinder
