If you want to get your hair styled by Casey Coleman you'll have to be patient – because you'll be waiting several months until you get the chance. The 36-year-old Cardiff hairdresser is so sought after that clients currently have to book six months in advance.
It's not just customers who want Casey to spruce up their locks – he regularly works on TV shows for BBC, Netflix, and Disney and travels the world educating other hair stylists. But Casey, who lives in Swansea and founded Cardiff's first gender-neutral salon, Chair Studio, humbly insists the long wait isn't necessarily due to popularity.
"I wouldn't say I'm popular or in demand – I would just say that I'm good at my job and I know how to market myself well online," he said. "And people warm towards other people who don't judge them by their race, by their gender, by their age – it's a judgement-free zone. That's probably why I think I have a large waiting list."
