LAWLESS

The reality of diversity within the hair industry has been pushed to the fore-

front in the past year. Though huge strides have been made throughout the

industry, there is still work to be done. Award-winning stylist Anne Veck
believes that in 2021 there is no excuse for hairdressers to not be trained in

textured hair.

When Anne opened her salon, Anne Veck Oxford, in 1991, she became in-
creasingly uncomfortable and frustrated to admit that she couldn’t deal with

every type of hair.

“Imagine always hating your hair because of how people treated you at
school, and then looking for a local hair salon as an adult, only to find that

they don’t cater for you. It’s completely demoralising and unacceptable. We

as salon owners need to do more. I strongly believe that if you call yourself
a hairdresser you need to be competent in all hair types.”
