Meet Nathan Phoenix – dancer turned session stylist, owner of re’create hair studio and resident wig-stylist for Sink the Pink
ABOUT NATHAN
Born on the sunny south coast of Bognor Regis, Nathan spent his early years training as a dancer, following in his family’s performing footsteps . In 2014, after a successful ten-year career working as a performer in Musical Theatre, Nathan hung up his dancing shoes and decided to give his back-up career path in hairdressing a go.

Over the years he’s cultivated quite the CV; credits in publications like Hunger and Grazia, assisting on shoots for Vogue Italia and LOVE, work on TV shows including Graham Norton, The X Factor, Jonathan Ross and The Brits (with Jess Glynne) and brand collabs from Adidas to ASOS.
