How Wendy balances
her career and family
Internationally renowned hairstylist Wendy Iles sets a fine example for those
women around the world who are both dedicated professionals and devoted
wives and mothers.
Wendy, who began her hairstyling career in Australia, may even be seen as a
role model for women seeking to achieve harmony between their careers and
their family lives.
As a leading hairstylist of top entertainers and fashion and photographic models
around the world, she works regularly in Paris, London and New York and
sometimes in other cities.
As a wife and mother she lives with her husband, Jacques, daughter, Beatrice,
aged 12, and stepson, Frederic, in the countryside.
“Although most of my works seems to generate from New York these days,” she
says, “we prefer to live in the European countryside.”
She and her family come to Australia once a year on holidays to visit her mother
and father who live in Tasmania.
Wendy tells how she balances her career with her family life.
“I believe we working mothers need to find the right balance between quality time
with our children rather than quantity,” she says.
“My husband works from home. Therefore I am always confident that the
household is running to a good routine and in good harmony,” she says.
“Our daughter understands very well my life and my career and we share a very
strong relationship, not only as mother and daughter but also as great mates.”
Several years ago, Wendy and her husband bought a house on a property in the
countryside. “This was one of the best moves we ever made,” she says.
“The distance, far from the hustle of the cities, gives me a complete cut-off point
from my work.
“On the job, all of my energy goes into each and every project. I am so
passionate about hairstyling. At home I tend to forget about work and
concentrate on being a loving caring mother and wife,” she says. “I believe this
balance is an extremely healthy one.”
Wendy says that spending her childhood in the countryside in Tasmania has
influenced her present choice of lifestyle. “I love the countryside and want my
daughter to grow up in wide open spaces amongst nature.
“Here she just lives a normal life, going to school and playing with her friends.”
To further balance her career and family, Wendy schedules her work so that she
and her husband and daughter can visit relatives once a year while holidaying in
Tasmania.
Wendy is celebrating her 25-year career as a hairstylist with the publication of a
book of fine art photography tiled “Archive”.
It features many of her most outstanding hairstyles created for such prestige
magazines as Vogue, Glamour and Elle and featuring fashion and couture from
such elite brands as Chanel, Louis Vuiton, Alexander McOueen, Gucci and
Prada; and for famous Hollywood personalities like Penelope Cruz, Monica
Bellucci and Dita von Tesse.
“I’m so delighted that publisher Joachim Baldauf has chosen to publish a book on
my hairstyles,” she says. “I hope it will inspire a lot of hairstylists, fashion
designers and art directors around the world.”
