Last month it was announced that all UK hairdressers would have to learn to cut and style Afro hair as standard – in an update to beauty regulations.
The move was welcomed by many who called it long-overdue, particularly people with Afro hair who don’t live in diverse areas and would have to travel long distances to find a salon that could cater to their needs.
Anne Veck is a white hairdresser, originally from France, and the owner of Anne Veck hair salon in Oxford. She believes that the changes to training standards are of course welcome, but within salons there is still lots more to do.
The 58-year-old is on the hair committee for the British Beauty Council and was also a finalist at the British Hairdressing Awards 2021 with an all Afro hair collection.
