Sharon Blain is an Australian Hairdressing Legend, I’d dare anyone to disagree with that statement. Praise for her amazing career has reverberated throughout the years. Remarkably this mega-hairstylist seems to be getting stronger and stronger as the years pass. She’s not willing to fade into the background as conventional wisdom would imply. But then again why would she? With talent overflowing and passion that’s still red hot why would this artist step away? After all her powers and only increasing with time and her artistic vision is now razor sharp.

We likely haven’t yet seen the full extent of her enless talent yet. And www.prohairstylist.com.au thanks her for that – we’re huge fans after all!

Belinda caught Sharon backstage at Hair Expo Australia to discuss her amazing career, her artists vision and a new project.
