Getty ImagesScottish celebrity hairdresser Trevor Sorbie has died at the age of 75.
The hairstylist, who created the famous wedge cut hairstyle, revealed in October he had weeks to live after his bowel cancer had spread to his liver.
On Friday, Sorbie’s haircare and salon company confirmed his death in a post shared on social media.
The statement revealed the 75-year-old had died peacefully “with his family and beloved dog by his side”.
Getty Images“Trevor’s journey, marked by unparalleled creativity and kindness, has left an indelible mark on the world of hairdressing and beyond,” the caption read.
The statement continued: “Trevor often reminded us to ‘be bold, be different, but always do everything in good taste’.
“His ethos of kindness, care, and excellence continues to guide us. He expressed immense pride in our team and confidence in our commitment to carrying forward his legacy.”
The award-winning stylist previously set up the charity, My New Hair, to provide “public advice and support a national network of independent salons and professionals who provide a wig styling service for people suffering from cancer and medical hair loss”.
Getty ImagesThe statement added: “Honouring Trevor’s wishes, there will be no funeral. In lieu of flowers, we invite you to support four charities: Marie Curie, Cancer Research UK, Rowans Hospice and My New Hair, all close to his heart.
“We also plan to celebrate his remarkable life and contributions with a special event next year and will share details in due course.”
