Hairdresser Crush
I admit it; I have a hairdresser crush on Trevor Sorbie.
I Have for years. He had an amazing show in New York city maybe 28 years ago and I have never been the same. I adore this talented man for many reasons, too many to think of but I will focus on the most important ones that come to mind. He is above all the most Talented Hairdresser in the world – he’s proven his awesomeness time and time again. I know this fact because he is, after all, a two time World Champion Hairdresser. (I believe, I’ll check later) So who is this man? Look him up for yourself –I encourage it.
Trevor has a stage presence many professional stylists have tried to emulate, only to end up falling terribly short. Trevor and his team KNOW how to put on a show, providing young hairdressers like myself *clears throat on the young part* the visual creativity we yearn for. He pushes the definition of ‘Avant-garde’ like silly putty, and this gift isn’t given too many stylists but he owns it. Therefore, why Heather are we going overboard on this man? Because he not only inspires, he is singly the most humble hairdresser I have ever met, and that my hairdresser friends are what more of us need to become. Humble.
*Side note Yes, I waited in line to meet him and I think I scared him, maybe I stuttered not sure.*
Trevor has been on stage and stated many times over — I do Not know everything – I just do my best. I keep my eyes open to new and exciting adventures in hair.
And that is what he teaches, keep learning.
*head in hands* Wow, ok so Heather You Do NOT know everything.
THAT is who and WHAT I always want to be. Always striving to be better.
I promise you I could give two flying monkeys about what salons are producing in this town. I have just enough brainpower to worry about my salon. What my girls are learning – producing, and their attitude about this salon. Trust me if two-time world champion Trevor wants to be better –god help us all —we have a serious higher bar we need to reach for. SO …. Keep going, keep trying and worry about yourself. Know IF you want to be better – get more money —be that person who inspires other hairdressers. Learn as much as you can and ENCOURAGE others to WANT the same.
In closing, you don’t have to have a crush on a hairdresser like I do. You do need to find inspiration, something that makes you WANT to be a better stylist. And that for me is Trevor Sorbie.
