hey, i am James, & i have been hairdressing since June 1981. in the years that followed i have worked in many salons from Oxford to Henley to London, i have worked in America as well.
first & foremost i see myself as an artist,
i can draw, paint, sculpt, design, create, imagine, almost do anything creative with my hands, it is a wonderful gift, but hair is my passion, even after all these years.
& i believe only an artist can cut hair.
i feel the majority of people that cut hair these days are only pattern cutters, following the guidance of others, they are not the designers. it would not be possible to find as many artists or designers in any town as you find haircutters. it is for this reason that i found working with others too limiting for me & i have worked for myself since 1991.
i opened my store here in oxford in november 1995. but after almost 30 years of living in the shop window, being on display, the whole time, i decided to move downstairs, & the majority of the store is now occupied by the great tattoo crew of INKORA. but, i am still here, just taking a quieter approach.
in my life i have also been fortunate enough to be a photographer, & with that have toured with bands like oasis, paul weller, stereophonics, shot morrissey for his passport, it’s been a great life, & one i look forward to achieving more in. i have photographed cities, racing cars, weddings, guitars & women. if i see something that inspires me, i will photograph it. i work mostly in reportage, capturing the moment, the real shot, not really about creating an illusion, others can do that, me it is all about the spontaneity of what i see.
when i was just 15 yrs old, i realised i had the eye, when i took some great photos of WILLIAMS F1 team. but it wasn’t until after i had been to NEW YORK for the first time that i did my first exhibition of images from the city.
