CELEBRITY hairstylist Trevor Sorbie is going back to his roots to receive a honorary degree.

The Paisley-born hairdresser will be presented with an Honorary Doctorate by the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) on July 11 at the town’s Thomas Coats Memorial Baptist Church.

Trevor, who was born in Paisley, has been named British Hairdresser of the Year four times, more than anyone else in the industry.

He launched his flagship salon in London’s Covent Garden in 1979, having already made a name for himself within the industry, and is affectionately known as the Godfather of hairdressing.
