So incredibly grateful to be featured in @mochahairmedia, sharing a little piece of my story, my journey and my experience as a hairdresser. Having my own feature in a magazine is something I never imagined for myself, and it honestly means more than I can put into words.

And then… the most incredible shoot with the @curateawards team 🥹✨ A completely life-changing experience, led by the incredibly talented Justin Pace. I’m so grateful I got to be a part of something so special, surrounded by such inspiring and creative people.

A massive thank you to everyone who made this experience possible, believed in me, supported me and made me feel so welcome 🤍

Feeling very lucky, very grateful and very proud. 🫶🏼 by @curateawards

Introducing ‘The Feed’ 👀

Created by the 2026 winners of the CURATE Awards, Mia Cribb, Sandhya Silwal, Nikita Wells, Jasmin Warren and Greta Baxendale, ‘The Feed’ explores the tension between what is real and what is broadcast.

The concept is drawn from a world where nothing simply happens anymore; it is filmed, filtered, posted and re-watched. It calls to mind the constant loop of the social media feed, a space where a moment barely exists before it’s already being replayed and shared. It’s a fitting lens for this collection, where the camera itself becomes part of the story, capturing each look as it’s created and instantly echoing it back.

I was SO excited to receive these ghd tools as part of my Curate prize and I’ve been putting them to VERY good use

First of all… the new GHD Speed?! 😮‍💨 I am OBSESSED. This is genuinely the fastest dryer I’ve used! It features ghd’s halo dual-airflow technology, which surrounds the hot airflow with cool air for a more smooth controlled dry⭐️ I’ve also been obsessed with my ghd Chronos lately, especially for creating this faux blowout technique using my Chronos + ghd round brush 🤍 The bounce, movement and shine are everythinggggg

Stay tuned for more vids using my GORG tools which I LUVVVVV so much and couldn’t live without 😘 taken in Mèche Hair & Academy Taradale by @curateawards

Soft, effortless waves that move with every step. ✨

Healthy shine, touchable texture, and timeless elegance all created with the incredible GHD Chronos. Because beautiful hair isn’t just about the finish; it’s about hair that looks as healthy as it feels.
