About this week's guest
Textured hair expert and freelance hair artist, Subrina Kidd has been in the hairdressing industry for as long as she can remember. From begging for a job when she was just 12 years old as a Saturday ‘Junior’ at a Japanese Hairdressers to training up as an apprentice to building a reputation as the go to Central London Hairstylist for all hair textures from coily, curly, wavy and pin straight, Subrina is no newbie to the world of hair.

Despite an undeniably diverse skillset, Subrina has most notably made a name for herself as the go-to specialist on all things textured hair. She is regularly requested for editorial shoots and quotes for her knowledge and expertise in publications such as British Vogue, Vanity Fair, Financial Times, ES magazine, Times Style magazine, Tatler, Grazia, Glamour and Marie Claire. 

Now based at her beautiful private hair studio, SKH, Subrina splits her time between her countless projects – whether teaching or working with global hair care brands like Aveda and L’Oreal, or collaborating with high-profile clients such as Jennifer Hudson and Naomie Harris, Emma Dabari, Lemn Sissay OBE, Sarah Niles, Sheila Atim MBE  and Leah Boleto.
