Mike Najmi, hairdresser to the stars, lived and worked among towering skyscrapers in huge cities. He’s taking a break from that over-pressured, over-peopled life and shares with reporter Sue Newman the pleasure gained from waking up each day in Ashburton where he can see endless sky and wide, open spaces.

Living the fantasty world of hairdressing, Mike Najmi and model at a hairdressing show.

The body – hairdresser Mike Najmi during one of the bodybuilding shows that earned him a string of titles as Mr Greece and Mr Asia.

t’s a long way from Bollywood in India to Ashburton, but travelling that distance has been part of life’s journey of celebrity hairdresser Mike Najmi’s life.

The man who was born on the Greek island of Losvos, comes from a long line of hairdressers and began his training as a 12-year-old in his aunt’s salon. Hairdressing is a family tradition.

Mike says he can’t remember a time when he didn’t have a comb and scissors in his hand. For him, working with hair was as natural as breathing.

“Many people in my family are hairdressers, my brothers and sisters and many of my cousins. They work all over the world, mainly in Germany and the United States.”

As a youngster he became the after-school junior for his aunt and remembers the first time he was let loose on a client with a pair of scissors – fortunately that client was his uncle.

When he was 14 he went to work with a local barber and by 15 he had his own list of clients.

“They liked it because I was very young, very small and cute and they liked my work – even if I made a mistake they said it was okay.”

By 18 he had completed his apprenticeship and moved to Athens where he secured his professional stylist’s and colourist’s licences.

From there Mike’s career started down the path that would eventually take him to Bollywood and a life among the rich and famous of the movie mogul

world. He owned a salon in Greece before heading overseas and hitting the big time in top salons in New York, London, Dubai, Las Vegas and Milan. In addition he worked backstage for fashion shows, on stage during hair shows and also staged his own hair fashion events.

When you’re working back stage with show girls in places like Las Vegas you’re working with some of the world’s most beautiful women and that never loses its glamour, Mike admits.

“I worked with people from all around the world so I have worked with the hair of the world – and women of the world, some very beautiful women.”

All paths eventually led to India and a stint in Bollywood, a crazy place to live and work.

Securing that job was surprisingly easy. He emailed his CV, a phone call followed and the next day

YOU cover story he was on a plane, plunged into life in a country that was vastly different to anything he had experienced.

“India is a beautiful country but if you’re not used to it, living there is very hard. India, you either love it or you will not like it at all. I loved the people but the way of living is a bit difficult.”

As well as working on Bollywood film sets he worked in a luxury salon patronised by the stars.

That was high pressure because standards and expectations were exceptionally high, Mike said.

“Indian hair is the most difficult hair to work with in the world. The women all have long hair and every change in the action in the movie I’d have to change their hairstyles.”

To accomplish that – several times every day, Mike worked with a team of 24 assistants.

“It was a crazy time but a very good experience. I was there nine months and still they want me to go back, but it was a very, very hard job.”

He was also hairstylist for many Indian weddings. These ceremonies lasted for nine days and that meant constant changes of styles for women so they appeared fresh and immaculate at all times, he said.

Like everything that appears the ultimate in glamour on the surface, life in Bollywood eventually began to pall and Mike found himself looking for something else, somewhere else to live, somewhere more grounded. He found that in Ashburton.

“I did this, came here, for myself. The rest of my years have been racing around the world.

My whole life has been working in big cities.

When I saw Ashburton on the internet I thought this is what I’m looking for. I don’t need to wake up at 5am to be at work by 8am.”

It is the absolute peace in Ashburton, the open spaces and the fact that he can see the sky anywhere he walks that have won Mike over. Add to that, people who have made him welcome and he says he’s here to stay – for a year at least, maybe longer.

“Everything is natural here, everything is good.

It feels like my home.”

The pull home to Greece may come from his 12-year-old son who lives with his ex-wife. And yes, he misses the beaches of Greece where ever he is in the world. And he misses Greek food.

With just four weeks of work in Ashburton behind him, Mike says he’s loving being part of his new salon, Prego, and feels right at home working with New Zealand women’s hair.

“It’s very like European hair but a bit more fine. It’s easy hair to work with. I would love to bring some new types of styling to New Zealand,

new cuts and new colouring.”

New Zealand women have a more casual approach to their hair. Every day is not a celebration as it is in some parts of the world, Mike said.

“Women here like more everyday styling.

You make their hair beautiful at the salon but it needs to be so they can go home and do it too because they might only come to the salon every month.”

Mike is more than a top hairstylist, he’s also a

Mike Najami, reflecting on his new life as a hairdressing Kiwi.

bodybuilder. “I was very fat when I was young.

When I was 15 I was fat, but at 17 I decided to try and change into an athlete because no-one liked me because I was fat.”

Change meant working out with weights and trying to turn his flab into muscle.

“I entered my first competition when I was 19 and I got last. Then I did a second competition the next year and got third but the next year I won Mr Asia and got third in Mr Greece.”

The championship titles kept coming after that. In 2003 he won Mr Greece and Mr Asia and every year after that until his last competition in 2010 he secured at least one major title.

“Now I don’t do this professionally, I just do it for myself.”

He’s joined a gym in Ashburton and he’s also continuing his martial arts. Keeping fit helps when you’re spending long days on your feet in a hairdressing salon, Mike said.

He’s philosophical about his hairdressing success.

“If someone loves his job he will get ahead.

For me the most important thing is that I love my job. It’s like painting. If you make something you like, it’s like hand art.”

Ashburton might not be one of the world’s hairdressing hot spots, but it’s the place Mike is happy to call home – for now. He’s happy to share his knowledge with his fellow workers at

Prego Salon and says he’ll be learning as much from them as they will from him.

“Working here, this is like working in my aunt’s salon.”

Mike is quick to dismiss meeting, marrying and settling down with a Kiwi woman.

“For sure I will stay here for one year and then I’ll see. If I still love New Zealand and I think I will, I will stay here, but I don’t want to marry again – ever.”

Do you have D

o you have an amazing mum??

Most of us do, so the Guardian is on the hunt to find a fantastic Mid Canterbury mum.

Mother’s Day is one time of the year where our mums are spoilt and, hopefully, pampered.

While each family celebrates Mother’s Day in their own way, we want to recognise and spoil a worthy mum

even more this year.

In conjunction with our generous sponsors, we have over $800 worth of prizes (including hair and make-up from Minx and Body n’ Beauty Worx, jewellery from Robilliards, dinner at Braided Rivers, clothing, photo shoot from Faction Photography, including a nails and lashes gift) to celebrate Mother’s Day. Let us know why your mum is spe-

cial, we want to hear all about her.

The winning mum will be pampered and spoilt on Tuesday, May 7. Her makeover, story and photos will be showcased in our May 11 YOU edition.

It may be that your mum looks after foster children, or a mum looks after a handicapped child, or a mum works fulltime and still manages to make it to every sports game or drama recital, or a solo mum who makes sure you

Mum’s the word!

Above all, on Mother’s Day, a mum wants to have a bit of a sleep-in, so she can wake feeling refreshed and well-rested. This was an overwhelming consensus among the ladies, especially those with younger children.

Coming a close second was to be treated to a wonderful breakfast, either breakfast in bed made by the kids, or to be taken out

for breakfast. If you are taking mum out for breakfast, make sure she has a nice long, ƵŶͲŝŶƚĞƌƌƵƉƚĞĚ ƐŚŽǁĞƌ͘ EŽ ĐŚŝůĚƌĞŶ ĮŐŚƟŶŐ͕ and no toddlers barging through the door unexpectedly.

An extra special treat would be to send mum away for a few hours a salon or a spa, where she could indulge in a massage, manicure, facial or a new hair style. “I just want a few hours of peace and quiet to get out of the house,” was the thoughts of many women. tŚŝůĞ ŵƵŵ ŝƐ ĞŶũŽLJŝŶŐ ƐŽŵĞ ƟŵĞ ŽƵƚ͕ ŶĞdžƚ on the wish-list is a clean house, where mum doesn’t have to think about any cleaning or ƟĚLJŝŶŐ ĨŽƌ ƚŚĞ ĚĂLJ͕ ƐŽ ƚŚĞ ŬŝĚƐ ĐĂŶ Ăůů ƉŝƚĐŚ ŝŶ ƚŽ ŐĞƚ ƚŚĞ ƉůĂĐĞ ůŽŽŬŝŶŐ ĨĂŶƚĂƐƟĐ ǁŚŝůĞ ŵƵŵ ŝƐ ĞŶũŽLJŝŶŐ ŚĞƌ ƟŵĞ ŽƵƚ͕ Žƌ ĐŽŶƐŝĚĞƌ ŚŝƌŝŶŐ a surprise house cleaner for the day. “No ŚŽƵƐĞǁŽƌŬ͕ ŶŽ ƌĞƐƉŽŶƐŝďŝůŝƚLJ͕ ũƵƐƚ ƌĞůĂdžĂƟŽŶ and fun” was a comment from one of our mothers. ,ĂŶĚͲŵĂĚĞ ŐŝŌƐ ĨƌŽŵ ƚŚĞ ŬŝĚƐ ƐƟůů ŚĂǀĞ Ă

By Joe Lamp’l ‘The right plant for the right place’ is a gardening maxim. For that reason and many others, trees and shrubs sometimes need to be moved.

These cool autumn days are the time to do it.

Plants won’t be stressed by heat and they’ll have all winter to develop a new root system and get ready for spring.

Moving a tree or shrub isn’t that hard to do, and we don’t do it often enough in my opinion. Many plants survive but don’t thrive in less-than-ideal conditions. And just like people, they’ll never reach their full potential until they’re placed in an environment to which they’re better suited.

Young and healthy shrubs and trees are the best candidates for a successful move. The smaller the shrub or tree, the quicker it will recover, and the easier it will be to handle. Anything more than roughly 2m tall or with a trunk diameter over 5cm becomes unmanageable without special equipment.

You’ll have the most success transplanting trees with compact, fibrous root systems, such as maple, pin oak, ash and shrubs such as azalea and hydrangea. Small feeder root systems recover much faster than, say, the coarse roots of the magnolia or hawthorn. If you have the time, pruning the roots a year before the move will reduce the overall root zone and give young feeder roots a chance to develop and grow inside the root ball zone. That also makes it easier to dig up and easier on the plant to recover.

With chalk or spray paint, draw a circle around the plant 15cm in diameter for every 1cm of tree trunk diameter. Dig along the outer edge with a sharp spade, slicing through the roots. If you’re encountering a lot of tough, heavy roots, you’re too close to the trunk – move your trench out a bit.

Alternatively, try to plan your root pruning for the dripline. That’s the area on the ground un-

der the tips of the branches. And, if all else fails, remember: The more roots you can dig up during the removal process, the better the chance of a successful transplant to the new location, assuming all other conditions are good.

When it’s time to move your plant, cut a trench along the root ball line, working progressively deeper as you go. Shave away excess soil as you work, but don’t remove any more roots.

Have a helper tip the plant back while you undercut the final roots, holding it in place.

Cut a piece of untreated burlap four times the diameter of the root ball, tip the plant over and slide the burlap under the ball as far as possible.

Tip the plant the other way and pull the burlap through so the root ball rests on the burlap, then fold and wrap the material around the root ball and pin it in place with 5cm-long flathead nails. To safely remove the root ball from the hole, slip a wooden plank underneath it and slide the plant up and out on to a heavy plastic tarp. Using the tarp, pull or carry the plant to its new location. Avoid lifting by the trunk or stems; that will break off roots and knock soil loose.

Dig the new planting hole no deeper than the root ball is high, and three times wider. Set the plant in place with the top of the ball slightly higher than the surrounding soil level. Open the burlap and tuck it into the hole so it won’t wick water away from the roots. It will eventually decompose. Backfill the hole halfway with soil, tap firm and fill with water. Let the water drain, finish backfilling and build a “saucer” of soil around the tree to direct water down to the roots. Water again.

Spread a 7cm to 10cm-deep layer of mulch over the area in the saucer. Don’t fertilise or prune for the first couple of years to allow the plant to settle into its new home. But keep up with watering, especially through the first summer. Use a soaker hose or drip irrigation to let the water sink slowly to the roots. Once the plant has made it through the first summer, it should be fine on its own.

Diane Doyle remembers her father and grandfather on Anzac Day.

A

nzac Day is a special time of the year for Diane Doyle of Ashburton.

It is the time of year she remembers her father’s and grandfather’s war-fighting efforts.

Her grandfather Joseph Augustus Mears served in World War One, while her father Bryan Frank Mears served in World War Two. Mrs Doyle said throughout her father’s life she would hear about some of his experiences in the war, but it was only ever a light-hearted side.

“He didn’t talk about the horrific things,” Mrs Doyle said.

Mr Mears was a sergeant and served in the 21st battalion, being involved in the battles of Monte Cassino and El Alamein.

One night as he and fellow soldiers sat around a camp fire, an explosion of gunfire was heard nearby. Sergeant Mears fell flat, and had blood running down from the back of his neck over his face.

He put his hand to where he thought the blood was coming from. “He thought – I have lost the back of my head.”

He later laughed at how serious he had thought the wound to be, when in fact the bullet had gone through the crease of his neck.

He later referred to it as “a bit of a scratch”, however he bore the scar on the back of his neck for the rest of his life.

One Christmas while serving overseas he and his friends went on a mission of a different kind, to find something for a festive lunch, and ended up stealing a turkey.

Another time he and other soldiers were being innoculated and some of the men fainted – big tough men who would not blink an eye in battle, Mr Mears later recalled.

Mrs Doyle visited Trieste four years ago with her sister and daughter. Nearby there was a former concentration camp and it was one that the 21st battalion had liberated prisoners from.

That was one thing she had never heard about from her father, believing the scenes he

saw would have been too awful to relate.

At a museum in Trieste she saw a photo of troops in a tanker going through the square, and there was her father at the top of the tanker.

She heard about him rounding up German soldiers at the end of the war. He related how he wanted a pair of binoculars owned by one of the soldiers, so gave the man a packet of cigarrettes for them.

Mr Mears used them for many years to watch horses race at the Ashburton Raceway.

Mr Mears had been one of the early members involved in establishing the racecourse, and owned and trained racehorses.

As a teenager Mrs Doyle would go the course with her dad and undertake track work. She would begin at 5am before going to work as a receptionist for Dr Otley, a well know GP in the town.

More recently she celebrated her 60th birthday at the racecourse.

Before marrying she went to England for three years, going on her big OE. She worked for “amazing people”, who were still great friends today, training horses for hunting and nannying.

Mrs Doyle was brought up on her parents’ Mt Somers farm The Downes. She married Laurie Doyle and they farmed in the foothills, but he died at the age of 43 of a heart attack, leaving her with three young children. She leased out the farm and later moved into Ashburton.

The Mayfield Golf Club established the Laurie Doyle trophy in his memory, and recently the 25th competition was held. Her two sons Jonathon and Andrew played in it, and it was won by a good family friend Hayden Tasker.

When spoken to last week, Mrs Doyle was thinking she would be attending the Mayfield Anzac Day parade rather than the Ashburton one, although had attended one in the larger town and enjoyed it.

“I would rather go back to Mayfield and see old friends,” she said.
