Paula Windsor-Williams

My name's Paula Windsor-Williams, and I think it was around 1994, I started doing a gentleman's hair called Ron Platt as I knew him.

So when Ron came in initially, I think from memory, he was quite white. So he wanted me to put obviously a dark color on his hair, his whole, you know, disguise really of what he wanted.

I mean, probably he should have been a couple shades lighter for him to have been able to get away with it, but it looked very artificial. Whereas with Noelle, you know, she just had some highlights, which was obviously just a few pieces of colour, just to brighten her up and make her hair colour look lighter.

He wanted to probably go under the radar very much, you know, with everything with him. They just blended, I think, and that's what they wanted.

I always got the impression that I shouldn't be asking things. Well, I suppose I knew that Noel was his wife. I didn't sort of say, you know, why is she so much younger than you? It wouldn't have been a question I would have asked. It's just quite scary to think that you can spend time with somebody and actually know nothing about them and what they're capable of.
