Rita Rusk dead: Scots hairdressing pioneer Rita Rusk dies aged 75

Scots hairdressing icon Rita Rusk has died at the age of 75.

The Glasgow-born stylist was hailed as a "pioneer" and "trailblazer" in the industry after starting out in the 1970s, counting celebrities and royalty as clients throughout her career which spanned more than four decades.

Rita was the first female and the only Scot to be named British Hairdresser of the Year, an accolade she received in 1987 along with her husband at the time, Irvine Rusk.
