New Zealand born Deborah Brider began her career with hair at the age of fifteen, upon being accepted as an apprentice at Buoy Academy in Wellington. Deborah's tutors quickly spotted her obvious potential and encouraged her to continue training overseas.
She joined a multi award winning British salon an inspirational institution which taught Deborah technical skills which have been the basis of her success. As her confidence grew, Deborah's vocation as a session hairstylist was realised and she never looked back.
