Gareth’s chop of the pops

Irish stylist tailored star’s bob

and says working with top stars was perfect preparation.

The four-part series will see life’s dilemma’s dissected by the salon’s clients, stylists and barber’s over a coffee and a blow dry.

Gareth revealed: “In Los Angeles we give our points of view to other discussions all the time.

“I mean a hairdresser really is like a therapist at the end of the day. I’m very personable, I converse and people open up. I love doing this show. We talk about depression, bullying, legalising marijuana – intense topics.”

Gareth left Ireland 15 years ago and now lives in an apartment just one block from Venice Beach.

He divides his time between LA and London, saying: “I get home three to four times a year. I love being back. Ireland’s my home.”

Salon Confidential, RTE2 tomorrow at 10pm.
