Staff Member: Susanne Siciliano (Zana)

Your position in the salon: Stylist

What would your ideal holiday destination be?

Some where I can lay on the beach and relax, have a few drinks and eat great food, but mainly relax!

What is your perfect Saturday night?

A bottle of nice wine, a group of friends, my boy of course and laughs all round.

What is your favourite music to listen to?

A bit of anything really! Just depends on what mood I'm in but I like to go out and boogie to dance and house music.

If you could choose 2 people to sit around a dinner table with who would it be?
I think someone who will make me laugh is Seth Rogan, he'd be interesting and knows how to joke around. And how could I miss out on a dinner with Jamie. Between him and Seth I would be in stitches all night.

Staff Member: Susan Lewis

Your position in the salon: Style Director


What would your ideal holiday destination be?

At present, it would have to be somewhere I could relax, soak up the atmosphere and did I mention relax? In 2010, a holiday in Spain with my husband. Hiring a car, we will make our way through places like Madrid, Seville, Granada and then ending up in Barcelona. Cant wait to experience the nightlife, tapas, shopping and especially the top site would be the work of Antoni Gaudi.

What is your perfect Saturday night?

Perfect Saturday night would be dinner with a close bunch of friends. Now-a-days we spend less time out and more time at friend's houses. But to tell you a secret my most treasured Saturday nights are hanging out in my PJ's, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, followed by a night on the couch watching some classic movies.

What is your favourite music to listen to?

Lets just name a few: The Smiths, James, Cut Copy, Kosheen, Mystery Jets, Youth Group, Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, Interpol, Feist, Placebo, Bell and Sebastian, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, The Stone Roses, New Buffalo, Peter Bjorn & John and of course the beautiful Sarah Blasko.

If you could choose 2 people to sit around a dinner table with who would it be?
Well, my dinner table is the centre for many laughs, so Jimmy Carr, who is my favourite comedian, would be a person I would love to have a giggle with. And of course my husband's mum, Valerie, who passed away nine years ago. Val was this great lady who lived for life. Ohh yes I'd make her cook the dinner (as Val was this amazing mum that was always cooking and baking for her kids) So, it would be a huge feast that would last for days. Yum!
