Say it ain’t so. Nicky Clarke, the hairdresser who comfortably outclassed many of his women clients with long, thick glossy hair, has hung up the hairdrier, at any rate in Mayfair.
His salon in Carlos Place is closed, with immediate effect, and with it is gone something of the glamour and fun of hairdressing in the Eighties and Nineties. There may well be younger genius hair dressers, but they lack the celebrity of Nicky Clarke, he who did Sarah Ferguson, Sophie Dahl, Princess Diana, Margaret Thatcher and, once, me.
