DEBORAH SHAW

Deborah Shaw was a founder member of ACAuk (UKACA) and the Treasurer for over 2 years. She met Joy Montgomery through their 'celebrity' hairdresser Errol Douglas after her return to the UK from Los Angeles where she had lived for 10 years. She first worked with Charlton Heston as a PA then moved on to become a talent Manger working with Rene Russo, John Hurt, Nigel Havers, James Denton and Shia LaBeouf.

Deborah is a lifestyle consultant working with clients to get them more organised. Her role changes depending on the needs of the client, whether it is working for a small company or private individual. She gets her greatest enjoyment doing wardrobe makeovers – going through people's closet, clearing out old clothes and accessories and going shopping with the client to update their wardrobe and make them feel better about themselves. Deborah has been dressing clients for over 15 years from her early days in Harrods to more recently dressing actors in Hollywood.

She also de-clutters homes, whether helping to get a place ready to sell or when the client is moving or just moved in. She is a mixture of Trinny & Suzanne meets the House Doctor!
