Must read

Sorbie, who was born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, revealed on ITV’s This Morning last month that he got his initial diagnosis of bowel cancer after going to the hospital when he lost a lot of blood one night.

The stylist said the cancer had spread to his liver and he had undergone a six-and-a-half-hour operation to remove sections of it, however, his surgeon would no longer operate as it was too close to a major blood vessel.

Sorbie opened his first salon in 1979 in Covent Garden, London, with his company going on to open locations in Brighton, Bristol, Hampstead, Manchester and Richmond.

His team added in the statement that Sorbie’s “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,” it added.

“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.”
