With 20 years’ experience in the industry Jody has built his career on a passion for men’s hair and fashion, and it's this obsession that has been the catalyst to his success.

He decided early on to focus on men’s hair, which saw Jody not only become the Head of Men’s Education for Toni and Guy globally, but also gain the coveted titles of Men’s British Hairdresser of the Year in 2011, and Creative Heads Most wanted Men’s Groomer 2018, 2020, 2022.

Jody is the Men’s Brand Ambassador for Electrical mega brand Babyliss and is passionate about his work with The IndustrySquad – An initiative to create awareness to the government, media and public about this amazing industry we work in and to show the younger generations that to work in a creative industry the opportunities are so vast.

Having now clocked up 10 years of freelance experience in the world of men’s hair, Jody has established himself with some of Britain’s leading photographers, brands and celebrities such as, Emma D’arcy, Jack Oconnell, Ben Wishaw, Harris Dickenson, Callum Turner, David Beckham, and Conor McGregor.

He has curated the hair and lead a team for multiple fashion week shows in London, Paris and Milan for Vetements, VTMENTS and Jordan Luca and lead the grooming for campaigns with Zara, Gucci, Montblanc, Fred Perry, Dior, Paul Smith, Mr Porter, NEXT, Primark and Matches.
