Hairdressers in Glasgow have paid tribute to Rita Rusk after her death aged 75.
Hailing from Castlemilk in the city, Ms Rusk was seen as a pioneer in hairdressing throughout her career, which spanned five decades.
From a humble beginning, Ms Rusk was the first female and only Scot to be crowned British hairdresser of the year, alongside her then husband Irvine, according to Alan Edwards, who runs a busy salon of the same name in Glasgow 's Merchant City.
