Hairdressing Legend Trevor Sorbie Passes Away at 75

It's with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to a true icon in the hairdressing world. Trevor Sorbie, the visionary stylist who revolutionized hair cutting and styling, passed away on August 10, 2023, at the age of 75.

Sorbie's career spanned over five decades, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. He wasn't just a hairdresser, he was an artist, a trendsetter, and a mentor to countless aspiring stylists. Remember that iconic "Sorbie cut"? The one that everyone was rocking in the 80s and 90s? Yeah, that was his creation.

His legacy goes beyond just haircuts, though. Sorbie was a pioneer in hairdressing education, establishing the Trevor Sorbie Academy in 1995. This institution has trained thousands of stylists, nurturing the next generation of talent and contributing to the evolution of hairdressing as a profession.

He also made significant contributions to the fight against cancer, establishing the Trevor Sorbie Colour Charitable Trust in 2006. This organization raised millions for cancer charities through its salons and initiatives, providing vital support to those battling the disease.

It's not just the industry that mourns his passing. Sorbie was loved and admired by countless people who benefited from his talent, generosity, and passion. He was a true gentleman, always approachable and willing to share his knowledge and expertise. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and the entire hairdressing community.

His legacy will live on in the countless stylists he inspired and the countless lives he touched. Thank you, Trevor Sorbie, for everything you did.
