​The Artist of Inner Glow

I don’t just do hair and make-up
I reveal what’s already there

Born in France, I moved to Germany alone at 17 — with a suitcase, a dream, and an obsession for detail that has never left me

I trained with an old master craftsman in France, learning that beauty, like architecture, needs a structure first — and proportion. Then I attended the Vidal Sassoon Academy in London — where the world’s finest hairstylists are formed

That was the beginning

Over 32+ years, I worked with Hermès Paris, L’Oréal, David Lynch, Jonathan Prime — on studio shoots, film sets, editorial shoots and advertising campaigns across Europe and Morocco. Every face taught me something. Every set sharpened me

But what I’ve learned goes far beyond technique

When someone sits in my chair, something shifts. They open up. They trust. Through my warmth, my precision and — yes — a good laugh, they leave not just looking different, but feeling stronger. More seen. More themselves

I am a detail obsessive. I see what others don’t. A light. A strand of hair that changes everything

And I believe — deeply — that beauty is not a mask. It is already inside you. I simply help it out

I once did make-up for Justin Timberlake — teenage, acne and all. I asked for an autograph without really knowing who he was. And sometime later? I threw it away

In my chair, everyone gets the same attention. Star or first-timer — you get the best version of yourself

That has never changed

There is always sensuality in my work — the way hair moves, the radiance in a person, a feeling of beauty from within and without. For me, beauty is never neutral. It is alive

Come as you are. Leave more yourself
