About Michael Van Clarke

As the brother of the famed Nicky Clarke, Michael Van Clarke has hairdressing in his blood. He received world-class training under the legendary stylist Leonard Lewis and had his first Vogue editorial spread published at just 19-years-old, before opening his uber-swanky townhouse salon in Marylebone. Think Cire Trudon candles throughout and an in-house chef.

Now, with over 40 years in the business and an award-winning product line to his name, he's a true styling stalwart who counts rockstars, royalty, models and politicians amongst his loyal clientele, many of whom have been seeing him for four decades.

Michael's team of 50 stylists, colourists, trichologists and beauticians are awe-inspiring in their own right, having worked with the likes of Jenny Packham and Hollywood's Kate Hudson.

But it's the elite talents of the mane man himself that have made him an industry name.

His revolutionary Diamond Dry Cut – in which the hair is chopped dry for unparalleled precision and face-flattering balance – is his signature.

Passionate about hair health, Michael also developed his acclaimed 3" More Inches product line after noticing the vast majority of haircare ranges use dehydrating silicones to temporarily mask damage.

With 25 years of research and development behind it, the line has gone on to win countless accolades with the growth-boosting LifeSaver Pre-Wash Treatment a particular standout.
