The man responsible for Angelina Jolie’s glossy mane, Gary Glossman knew he wanted to go into hair when he was just 15 years old and went straight into working at Neville Daniel in Knightsbridge. Gary then moved over to Daniel Galvin, before making the life-changing decision to move to New York at the age of 21.

Here, Gary went on to work his magic on numerous editorial shoots, doing stints at Oribe and then Pierre Michel Salon, where he polished up on the tricks of the trade. After a while, Gary made the decision to have a change of scene and seized the opportunity to become Creative Director at Shiseido. After 9 years there, he was headhunted and L'Oreal him snapped up to become their Creative Director.

After a 24 year tenure in the Big Apple, Gary made the decision to head back to London and pursue new hair ventures. Josh Wood (the pair were already good friends) welcomed Gary into the Atelier family, where he has been working as a Master Designer.

Since starting at Josh Wood, Gary’s diary has been chock-a-block, with a fair few celebrity appointments slipped in. Gary’s skilled hands have graced the heads of Angelina, the Kardashians, Meg Ryan and U2’s Bono – and we’re sure there’s even more he's neglected to mention.

What makes Gary stand out from your average hairdresser is his desire to make all women feel beautiful. Whether you’re 20 or 60, he’ll examine your face to create a style that’s fresh, youthful and sexy. His fun and approachable persona will make you feel right at home as soon as you sit in his chair – and you’ll leave feeling a great deal younger than when you arrived.
