What did you do before starting up On Location Glam?
I was working as a hairdresser in top salons at different cities around the world. I've lived in London where I had the opportunity to do hairstyling for models at fashion show runways; in Los Angeles styling hair for celebrities and red carpet events such as the Grammy Awards and MTV Music Awards; in Switzerland where I had the privilege of hairstyling for Royal families and international celebrities.
In essence, I was working "on location" as a hairstylist for many salons until I thought to myself, "This should be a business of its own!"
