Shaun is more than just a Hairdresser in Glebe

SHAUN- CREATIVE SPECIALIST

Shaun McGrath is Stevie English Hair’s resident nutty professor/ avant garde/ creative genius. Shaun moved to Sydney after 7 years in London working under former Vidal Sassoon creative and education director Michael Lawless (who also mentored another Stevie EnglishDirector Dave), and we snatched him up straight away. His unique combination of precision cutting skills and genuine other-realm creativity make him a favourite among our guests who like to push the envelope with their hair, plus he has a loyal client base who appreciate the beauty of a truly great haircut.

Shaun, has just finished creating wigs for fringe festival, he is in the middle of working on wigs for local shopping centre Broadway.

We asked him a few questions about what makes him tick:

What is your core philosophy about hair and hairdressing?

I believe that everyone has the right to have an individual hair style. That doesn’t mean it has to be unique - but the hair you wear should look like its yours not just the latest trendy cut. 

How do you bring your imagination to salon styles?

My inspiration is diverse - i look for ways to alter the shape and silhouette of styles - sometimes 

What do you do outside the salon for fun?

I Kayak, surf - being in nature is part and parcel of who I am, its how I relax and also where much of my inspiration comes from.

What hair care products do you recommend the most?

 I usually recommend a mix and match across the three great ranges we have in the salon - depending on peoples hair and what I have created for them - if we have a major colour - that would be different to someone with fine hair with just a great cut.
