I live in Helsinki. As a young boy I was always doing everyone’s hair and it was natural for me to start studying it. Later I also studied photography and now I’m doing that along with working as a hair stylist. I’m combining my two passions photography and being a hairstylist and I photograph a lot of marketing materials for Q Hair, too.

I get inspiration from all around me and I follow the industry and I’m interested in knowing what’s happening there.

I love doing every kind of works. Specially I like interacting with the customers and giving them joy and new style.

I was born in Kouvola. I knew already in secondary school that I wanted to be a hairstylist. After elementary school, I went to a hairstyling school and then to a private makeup school. I have been able to realize my dream for twenty years now.

Since this industry is always living in a new period of transition, I like to train myself regularly. Vidal Sassoon, Toni&Guy, KC Professional and Wella to name a few. I can always find something new on Instagram and Youtube. I also get a lot inspiration for something new from my colleagues.

I get the most energy from the versatility of this work. All experiences with my customers are always different. I especially like the variability of cutting and colouring techniques. Working with customers itself is really rewarding.

I’m originally from Kuopio. After high school I applied to study in a university, but already at that time my childhood dream job was strongly on my mind. So, I ended up studying to become a hairstylist and I’ve had the pleasure to work in this industry for ten years already.

I find inspiration from everything I see and experience around me: art, street scene, nature, social media and especially sharing experiences with my colleagues. Trainings also always bring me new inspiration.

In my work I like the most encountering my customers and that we can find the right style just for them. I especially enjoy colouring light hair.
