What’s IN the name?

In high school, I knew two things for sure: I wanted to be a hairdresser, and I wanted to live in London.

At 22, I followed that dream leaving behind everything familiar and comfortable to chase something I couldn’t ignore. I landed in London with nothing but a suitcase and a big leap of faith.

After a month in a hostel, I found a share house in Camden Town and everything changed. Camden was electric. On any given day, you’d pass punks, pin-up girls, cyber goths, and artists of every kind. It was loud, creative, unapologetic and above all, accepting. It was the first place I truly saw that you could be exactly who you are and not just be accepted, but celebrated for it.

I stayed for nearly two years, refining my craft in a high-end salon in Chiswick and continuing my education through the L’Oréal Academy in London. It was a chapter that shaped not only my skills but also my outlook on life, identity, and self-expression.

Camden Lane is my second big leap, a space built from everything I’ve learned along the way. It’s where creativity meets comfort, where uniqueness is welcomed, and where following your heart is always encouraged.
