“Find your Sweet Spot in life. “

Hair with heart. Style with soul.

With over two decades of experience — and a career on the global stage as a creative leader — my approach to hairdressing is simple: it’s about how you feel as much as how you look.

Confessions is not just a pop-up salon. It’s a space to pause, reflect, and refresh.
A place where conversation, care, and craft come together to create something truly personal.

I work with feeling and precision — enhancing your natural beauty, building shape and texture that moves with you, and helping you find what I call your Sweet Spot: that perfect balance of confidence, comfort, and style.

Whether it’s a quick reset or a full transformation, every cut, colour, and style is a collaboration — rooted in connection, creativity, and care.

“The right hair isn’t just seen in the mirror. It’s felt in your bones.”

DJ & Hosting – Energy That Connects.

Whether it’s a festival stage, a Pride celebration, or an intimate brand event — I bring the beats, the connection, and the atmosphere that makes people feel alive.

As resident DJ for Disco Daddy, I’ve played to 150,000+ people across the UK and Ireland, from Glastonbury to London’s hottest venues. My sets are a mix of pure joy, queer energy, and high-fashion flair — always tailored to the crowd in front of me.

I also host with the same raw, magnetic energy — from panel talks and creative summits to community events and immersive experiences. It’s not just about music or a mic; it’s about making people feel seen, heard, and part of something unforgettable.

Past Highlights:

  • Glastonbury Festival – Pennard Orchard

  • Disco Daddy Day Fever – 15+ cities

  • Soho House Pride Events

  • Fashion Week Afterparties

  • Brand Collaborations with L’Oréal & Nobu

Let’s create something electric.
