Celebrity crimper Nicky Clarke has been forced to close his flagship Mayfair salon after a cash crisis.
Tousle-haired Nicky – who charges up to £5,000 for a blow dry – says he has spent months trying to keep the business afloat, but says the branch, which has been in operation for three decades, was no longer viable.
The 63-year-old has tended to the tresses of celebrities including Liz Hurley, Gwyneth Paltrow and even Princess Diana.
