UK hairdressing is the best in the world, but it's not just about the top names and celebrity stylists. We find out more about one of hairdressing's rising stars to find out who inspires them.
Name: Carly Aplin
Age: 25
Job title: Assistant manager, training manager, creative director
Place of work: CRC Cutting Room Creative, Leeds
Training and qualifications: NVQ Level 3, L'Oreal Professionel colour specialist, Kerastase ambassador
Best advice ever given: Treat people how you expect to be treated - and never cut off what you can't see!
Career highlight: I have many highlights, but joining the FAME team was a dream come true.
Favourite celebrity hairstyle: Drew Barrymore. I love the heavy root look.
Best part of your job: The freedom to be creative, and the privilege of clients trusting their main accessory with me.
In the next five years I want to... Do a Vogue shoot, be a part of New York Fashion Week, win a British Hairdressing Award, and take part in a Sassoon Varda course.
My hairdressing hero is: Errol Douglas, as he's supported everything I've ever done. He is incredibly humble, especially with his own success.
Worst part of the job: There isn't one.
My inspiration comes from... Everyone and everything around me.
If I wasn't a hairdresser I would be: A TV presenter - move over Fearne Cotton!
