Trevor John Sorbie MBE (13 March 1949 – 8 November 2024) was a Scottish celebrity hairdresser and businessman.

[4] He was appointed a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2004 New Year Honours for services to hairdressing.

[5][6] Sorbie appeared on several television programmes, including The Wright Stuff, GMTV, This Morning, The Afternoon Show, The Salon, Mary Queen of Shops, Watchdog and Faking It.

The charity came to be after Sorbie was involved in helping his brother's wife create a wig that looked like real hair as she battled with bone cancer.

[13] Sorbie's goal, in the long term, was to have salons with hairdressers trained to My New Hair standards nationwide and eventually to scale to an international level.

In October 2024, Sorbie revealed on the British television show This Morning that the cancer had spread to his liver, and that he had been given only a few weeks to live.
