Duffy, a trailblazing hair stylist in the fashion world, is renowned for his audacious and imaginative hair creations. His work, ranging from the unforgettable partially bald mullets sported by Bella and Gigi Hadid at Marc Jacobs’ show to the striking fuzzy blue and orange hair extensions at Rick Owens, showcases his flair for pushing the boundaries of hair artistry.

Beginning his journey in the industry as a teenager, Duffy honed his skills at a local barbershop in Surrey. By the age of 15, with encouragement from his mother, he secured a weekend position at the prestigious Vidal Sassoon salon in London, eventually leaving school to pursue a full-time apprenticeship. His career trajectory took a significant leap forward as he assisted the esteemed fashion hair stylist Eugene Souleiman, contributing backstage at high-profile shows for Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton. Duffy’s editorial breakthrough came during a GQ shoot that involved shaving a pattern into a writer’s head, a bold move that paved the way for his solo career. He began crafting experimental runway looks for emerging designers like Dr Noki and Peter Jensen, marking his ascent in the fashion industry.

Today, Duffy’s influence extends across major fashion capitals, leading backstage hair for luminaries like Marc Jacobs, Rick Owens, Louis Vuitton, YSL, and Bottega Veneta. His editorial genius has graced the covers of Vogue Paris, Vogue Italia, and i-D, contributing to his status as a sought-after stylist for fashion campaigns. His portfolio is a testament to his versatility and vision, featuring collaborations with Alexander McQueen, Loewe, Prada, Saint Laurent, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, and Dior.

Duffy continues to redefine hair styling within the fashion industry, merging traditional techniques with innovative concepts to create looks that are both avant-garde and profoundly impactful.
