Sex and the Style Editor

Alison Tay

My Hot Date With Sophie Dahl’s Snipper

An unexpected brush with fame

Sophie Dahl is a Percy & Reed devotee, but at this time no hairdressers were claiming responsibility for Jamie Cullum's barnet

The greatest privilege as a Style Editor is working with the industry’s most talented and inspiring fashion and beauty professionals that make the A-list magic happen.

And the greatest honour is having the most influential creative forces on fashion’s front line as friends.

Which explains how – in desperate need of a super-sexy hot date hair cut - I found myself sitting in a hairdresser’s chair in front of Adam Reed, Creative Director and one half of Percy & Reed, who I know coifs the likes of Madonna, Anna Friel and Sophie Dahl.

What I didn’t know was that Sophie Dahl had the same idea and had booked in for a blow-dry before a night out with Jamie Cullum at posh sushi restaurant Sake No Hana, and had to form an orderly queue for Adam behind me!

One word. WOW!

Find Percy & Reed at 157c Great Portland Street, London, W1W 6QS. Call 020 7637 4634 for an appointment.
