Behind the Scenes of Royal Hairdressing
In this episode, Nicky Clarke and Michael Van Clarke sit down to trade stories from decades of styling some of the world’s most recognisable heads of hair. They recall the first time they worked at the royal residences, tiara fittings before state banquets, and memorable moments with Princess Diana and the Queen herself.
From Pavarotti in the Park to preventing tiaras from toppling into soup, they share the quick thinking, trust, and discretion needed when working at the highest level and why these royal encounters have stayed with them for life.
