Q&A

With such a great stylist in front of us, we wanted to pick Lewis's brain for his ultimate tips and about how he started off in the industry…

How did you realise your passion for hairdressing?

My passion started when I was younger being the oldest and only boy of 6, helping my mum out with the braids in the morning.

What’s your ultimate secret hair tip?

My secret hair tip is spraying my sectioning with hairspray before fitting to make cleaner sections and less hair pulling.

What’s your favourite hair extension method?

My favourite hair extension method is nanos always!! Very versatile so it's good if you blowdry your hair or love a slick back updo, they work for everyone...

What made you love Look Eleven hair extensions?

I love Look Eleven because I love the quality of the hair and the range of the colours.
