Trevor Sorbie, MBE, Award-Winning Hair Legend, Icon Like No Other, passed away at 75 years old – 1949-2024. The hair world has lost one of the greatest ever. His work was beyond amazing. In my archives – somewhere in a closet jam-packed with fantastic hair images from all over the world – I have a lot of his early press releases, with some of his great innovations. Here are just a few.
Top Row: Here is how I remember Trevor Sorbie. With me, in 1996. at an industry event. I used to publish his extraordinary pioneering work in articles for many magazines and admired him and his work tremendously. Around this time, he called me and asked me to do PR for him/his products in America. I had just left John Sahag and never wanted to do PR again (!) so told him he’d have to persuade me. He replied something like, you will have to persuade me. And that was that! On the right, is Sorbie’s famous Waves of Stone, The Sphinx, 1989.
Bottom Row: The Wedge, 1974 by Sorbie when he was with Vidal Sassoon and Flames 1992.
