Starting his hairdressing career at the young age of 16, Scott always knew, he says, that he would do something with his hands; it was either hair or gardening. Thankfully he chose to prune hair instead of hedges and has since made headway to being top of his game in hairdressing.

After a tip from a family friend in the industry, Scott left the suburbs for London and went straight for the West End where he landed a job at John Frieda. There he spent almost ten years perfecting his technical ability under the man himself, becoming an expert in creating haircuts with the utmost precision.

From Frieda Scott moved on to where he is now at Daniel Hersheson, where he had the chance work with George Northwood and learn a new hairdressing skill; the art of breaking the technical rules. Designing super-cool cuts with his well-trained eye is now his calling, and he's worked plenty of Fashion Weeks to flex his creative muscles as well as editorial shoots, but this skilful scissor user admits he belongs in the salon. For this we shall always be grateful; time in his chair is time well spent, and famous faces such as Julian Clary and Julie Christie often frequent it, not to mention the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club and Goldheart Assembly. Gardening's loss is our hair's gain.

Find him at Daniel Hersheson, 45 Conduit Street, London, W1S 2YN
