Today’s Guest

Since starting her career more than thirty years ago, Zoe’s always harboured a deep fascination with the concept of trend and the culture’s that spark them. For her, this has not always been about hair (although in her opinion, that’s always been a great place to start) but about all the external elements that combine to send a ripple of change through a person’s style. As such, Zoe’s outlook has always been a comprehensive one; paying close attention to every aspect of lifestyle and beyond. She’s captivated by freshness and change – and pride herself on spotting trends first and reflecting such movements through her work.

Over the last five years Zoe has worked with various trend agencies including Flamingo and WGSN to advise them on new tribes and hair aesthetics, the cultural impetus behind them and what they mean for the early adopters and those that follow them. Zoe’s experience has helped her develop new colour techniques, products and concepts as well as new cuts and fresh beauty ideas that have directly impacted the hair and beauty industry. Her work is rounded, considered from inception to end and perhaps more importantly always with the over-all ambition to help the UK hair industry become true global pioneers.
