Where are you from, and how did you become a hairstylist?

I’m originally from the Netherlands and now live in Espoo. Hair and fashion have always inspired me, and from a young age, I knew I wanted to turn that passion into my profession.

Before moving to Finland, I spent nine years working at a renowned high-end salon in the Netherlands, where I had the opportunity to refine my skills and work with a wide variety of clients, hairstyles and hair types. Those years shaped me into the hairstylist I am today, and I now bring that experience, creativity and passion to Q Hair.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration everywhere—from fashion, travel and social media to the people around me. New experiences, different cultures and even small everyday moments influence the way I see beauty and style.

I enjoy staying up to date with new trends while adapting them to suit each person’s individual style and personality. For me, great hair isn’t just about following trends—it’s about creating a look that feels authentic, enhances your confidence and truly reflects who you are.

What do you enjoy most about your work?

What I enjoy most is the variety. I love creating everything from short, textured haircuts to long, soft and natural styles. I also enjoy working with colour, whether it’s subtle highlights or a beautiful balayage. Every client is different, and I enjoy the challenge of creating a hairstyle that truly feels like them.

The most rewarding part of my job is seeing my clients leave the salon feeling confident and happy. Often, it’s the small, unexpected moments along the way that make my work so enjoyable and keep every day creative and inspiring.
