Although a career in hairdressing was never a girlhood dream for award-winning colourist Kathy Gilbert it seemed like the perfect path to freedom when you’re 16 and hate school. A self-confessed rebel, Gilbert threw in the textbooks to take up a hairdressing apprenticeship in Melbourne in the late 70s and has never looked back. Working in salons like Antony Whitaker, Muse and the defunct Helmet and Gibara, she’s attracted a close and loyal following that includes fashion industry types, make-up artists and even other hair stylists. There’s the odd celebrity client in there too, but she’s far too discreet to tell us. For more of Kathy's work you can check out the currently screening "Ten Years Younger in Ten Days" on Channel 7 on Tuesday at 9:30pm (Julianne's Team), or recently published in "Floraplan" in Vogue May 2009 Issue .
