Wayne is a hairstylist/colourist with a wicked sense of humor, a pair of scissors sharper than his wit, and over two decades of experience making people look fabulous. Hailing from England, Wayne hopped the pond to NYC at the age of 19, trading crumpets for bagels and quickly making a name for himself in the hair world. Over 21 years in the city that never sleeps, Wayne has styled everyone from Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, to actress Jennifer Jason Leigh. His talents have also graced the small screen, with appearances on TLC’s Cover Shot in 2006 and America’s Next Top Model (yes, the Tyra Banks one—season 2, baby!).
In 2017, love brought Wayne to sunny Orlando, where he’s been snipping, shaping, and creating hair magic ever since. (Shoutout to his partner Scott who Wayne met a Madonna concert in NYC in 2015 Scott lived in Orlando for whom Wayne new making the move would be worth it!) Wayne is obsessed with cutting and styling hair, updo's to downdo's particularly shags and bobs, and classic beautiful long layered healthy hair and thrives on creating stunning looks for events. Hair is his true passion—and believes in continuing education also Wayne believes we as hair artists need to be in a environment where we are inspired by our co workers that will push you to do better!!!! But that’s not to say he doesn’t have a few other quirky obsessions.
First, there’s Madonna—Wayne is practically the president of her fan club (in his heart, anyway). Then there are Dobermans—graceful, majestic, and basically the supermodels of the dog world. His latest Dobie .. Tyson Di 'Altobello is 18months from Serbian bloodlines and keeps things interesting at home. And finally…vacuum cleaners. Yes, Wayne loves to vacuum. Daily. Sometimes multiple times. He owns a borderline-ridiculous collection of vacuums (but not as much as his Madonna memorabilia collection) and can spend hours talking suction power and bagless technology or even bagged for that matter! (Seriously, ask him. He dares you.)
But above all else, hair is Wayne’s true love. So, if you’re ready to make your hair dreams a reality—with a dash of fun and a sprinkle of British charm—come meet Wayne. You’re guaranteed a great cut, colour or whatever you desire and probably a laugh or two!
