Louis said ‘I’ve found my true niche and drive; my real passion is making people look and feel great. To me, it’s always more than just hairdressing, it’s also the connection and relationships I have built with clients over the years – it is incredible.”
More recently, his passion for people’s wellbeing and creating beautiful imagery has blended with his empowerment movement, ICIAIW. The movement empowers people to own their identity and completely embrace who and what they are in a positive way.
