Philosophy

Two aspects have guided my professional career as a hair stylist - a love for hair design and an unending desire to learn and continuously improve.  From my earliest days I always wanted to be a hairdresser.  I was excited by the creative aspects and inspired by my early teachers.  From my first days in beauty school I was motivated to work hard, learn as much as I could and committed to do that 'something extra' whenever I could.  In the dynamic world of hairdressing there is always something more to learn and improve to stay current and on top of the latest trends.

Background

I have been working in the profession for over 15 years.  I was lucky in my early career to be working with one of the top Czech hairdressers.  This was a source of both inspiration and good technique.  I worked in salons and built up my clientele but was always trying to do more.  Sometimes it was articles in magazines, working in hair shows or giving special seminars.  A key turning point in my career was when I went to work at the Eva Scrivo salon in New York City.  This was both an opportunity to learn from a leading hairdresser and also prepared me for working in International environments.    

When I returned to the Czech Republic, I took a position with L'ORÉAL as the Director of Education for the Matrix brand.  This gave me the opportunity to teach 100s of hairdressers throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia.  In this time I was repeatedly a featured on stage artist for the Picasso hair show, Hair Max and Matrix World Tour in Croatia.  I worked and collaborated with members of the Global Design Team from Australia, England, Canada and the United States.  Working with such amazing artists, seeing their techniques and their visions, helped further shape my own creativity.  I am particularly proud of the Hair Art book I collaborated on with Dada Kusa.

The Big Stage

I have many experiences speaking and performing in front of large audiences and with famous people. I am used to working in these situations. For example, I did the hair for Czech Top model Pavlina Němcová for a photo shoot and did Libuška Vojtková hair for the Picasso show 2009.
