A post on his social media accounts said: “It is with heartfelt emotion that we share the passing of our esteemed founder, Trevor Sorbie.

“Trevor passed away peacefully with his family and beloved dog by his side.

“Trevor’s journey, marked by unparalleled creativity and kindness, has left an indelible mark on the world of hairdressing and beyond.

“From pioneering The Wedge five decades ago to establishing our first salon in 1979, Trevor’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.

“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.”

Appearing on ITV’s This Morning on Wednesday (November 6), with his wife Carole, they revealed he was told in June that he had “maybe six” months to live.

She said: “So, both (of us) were in a bit of denial at that point. And then you had the last scan, which was September, and that’s when you realise no treatment is going to work.”

Sorbie, who had a popular eponymous haircare brand, revealed that he got his initial diagnosis of bowel cancer after going to the hospital when he lost a lot of blood one night.

He said he and Carole were left “speechless” at the news and it prompted him to have a “little panic attack” in his office at the time.

The award-winning Scottish stylist explained the cancer had spread to his liver and he had undergone six-and-a-half hour-long operations to remove sections of it, but that his surgeon would no longer operate as it was too close to a major blood vessel.
