family 1 How Wendy balances 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. She 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.” 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, Australia, 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. 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.” Wendy’s clients
