\u201cTrevor passed away peacefully with his family and beloved dog by his side. Trevor\u2019s journey, marked by unparalleled creativity and kindness, has left an indelible mark on the world of hairdressing and beyond.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom pioneering The Wedge five decades ago to establishing our first salon in 1979, Trevor\u2019s vision set new standards and continues to inspire generations. As we commemorate 45 years of Trevor Sorbie salons, we remain steadfast in upholding the passion, artistry, and dedication that he embodied.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe statement concluded there would be no funeral for the hairdresser, and urged fans to instead donate to four charities that were \u201cclose to his heart\u201d. <\/p>\n
\nIt continued: \u201cHonouring Trevor\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe also plan to celebrate his remarkable life and contributions with a special event next year and will share details in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nTrevor – who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2019 – had confirmed in October he had only weeks to live due to the disease spreading to his liver. <\/p>\n
\nAfter being told his condition had worsened, the hairdresser was offered chemotherapy treatment to help extend his life, though he bravely decided to turn it down because he couldn\u2019t \u201cface any more of [being in] that poison\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nBorn on 13 March 1949 in Paisley, Scotland, Trevor\u2019s family moved to England where he was bullied at school, so he dropped out to become an apprentice at his father\u2019s barber shop.<\/p>\n
\nIn 1979, the young hairdresser opened the first Trevor Sorbie salon in London\u2019s Covent Garden, before expanding the company to Manchester, Brighton, Bristol, Richmond and Hampstead.<\/p>\n
\nOver the course of his illustrious career, Trevor won the British Hairdresser of the Year award four times, and helped transform the fashion world through his trend-setting styles like Sculpture, the Wolf Man and the Wave.<\/p>\n
\nTrevor had also styled the hair of a myriad of celebrities, including including The Beatles, Dame Helen Mirren, Grace Jones, and The Beach Boys, though previously insisted his \u201cbiggest accolade\u201d was being made an MBE in 2004 by Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n
\nLast year, the Fellowship for British Hairdressing launched a prize in his name dubbed the Trevor Sorbie Award for creative and commercial innovation.<\/p>\n
