A working woman could save a few shillings a week, and then every five weeks she'd come in and we'd cut her hair.

When the doubters tell you it can't be done and all kind of tragedies will come your way, I say nonsense. If you can get to the very root of who you are and make something happen from it, my sense tells me you are going to surprise yourself.

Hairdressing in general hasn't been given the kudos it deserves. It's not recognised by enough people as a worthy craft.
