I found a little bit more about Richard …

Award-winning celebrity hairdresser Richard Ward is one of the industry’s leading lights, and the media’s ‘most wanted’ hairdresser. Pioneer of the ‘Super Salon’ concept, his uber cool award-winning Sloane Square salon plays host to a team of 75 expert staff, looking after the hair and beauty needs of not only a glittering celebrity clientele but also over 1,000 clients per week.

Richard’s role as resident hairdresser and hair guru on ITV’s Lorraine’s breakfast show, includes his renowned weekly ‘Street Salon’, where he takes his expertise out on to Britain’s high streets for on-the-spot makeovers, cementing his reputation as ‘Golden Scissors’ and his burgeoning TV profile has seen him working on programmes such as Coleen’s Real Women, Fat Families and Living TV’s Pop Goes the Band. His long standing association with Trinny & Susannah throughout their BBC What Not to Wear shows and Trinny & Susannah Undress and Dress The Nation has undoubtedly made him King of the TV Makeover, styling both the guru’s themselves and the hair for their successful series and books.

Endorsing his position as a style commentator in both trade and consumer press, Richard regularly appears as an industry Spokesman on BBC News, Radio London and Radio 5 Live. His expert hair makeovers and soundbites appear regularly in the Daily Mail and a host of glossy magazines, making him the ultimate spokesman on hair trends and the hairdressing industry.

He Was Famous, He Is Now More Famous

What is next for Richard?

Richard told how the salon has already been flooded by young women looking to copy Kate’s signature look, from the UK and abroad, after seeing the photos of a glowing Kate and Wills during their engagement announcement in November.

‘We’re lucky because she has amazing hair.’

He said: ‘A lot of girls wanted it, especially a lot of Americans.

‘We have a lot of people from America coming in. How Kate wears her hair typifies how you should be how you should be wearing your hair today, it’s a very natural look. It needs to gleam with health, it needs to shine, needs really deep rich color.
