How To Be 60 with Kaye Adams

Sam McKnight: From Princess Diana to Planting Tulips — Finding Freedom After Fashion


Listen Later

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by legendary hairstylist Sam McKnight, the man behind Princess Diana’s iconic short hair and decades of runway glamour.

But at sixty, Sam swapped Chanel and Versace for compost and calm — and found something far more stylish: peace of mind.

He talks about getting off the hamster wheel, learning to say no, and discovering that real luxury is living on your own terms.

Whether you’re still sprinting through midlife or dreaming of slowing down, Sam’s story is a reminder that reinvention doesn’t require a catwalk, just courage.


Hair by Sam McKnight is available online and from SpaceNK, Selfridges, and Marks & Spencer.
