Globally renowned colourist Sophie MacCorquodale has a keen eye for detail, extensive colour knowledge and a client list that includes Scarlett Johansson, Bjork and Florence Pugh. Her editorial work has been featured in Vogue, Dazed and W Magazine, and colour work can be seen on the runway for Chloe, Gucci and Tom Ford.
Over the past two decades, Sophie has developed and delivered courses for Goldwell, Schwarzkopf, and Davines. Today, she focuses on brand-neutral education, offering training in colour placement, application, and advanced creative development to inspire the next generation of hairdressers.
A Goldsmiths College, London fine art graduate, Sophie continues to integrate colour theory and critical thinking into her work. Her broader creative practice spans creative direction, moving image, and photography.
She is also a qualified trichologist and welcomes colour clients two days a week in Chelsea and Soho, London.
In 2026, Sophie will launch DYE JOB INC — a global platform bringing together the world’s leading colourists to share knowledge and experience, driving inclusivity, sustainability, creativity, and education across the hair and beauty industry.
Sophie’s passion for education began at just 20, when she became one of the youngest-ever educators at the Vidal Sassoon Academy. During the late ’90s and early ’00s, when Sassoon set the global standard in hair education, she travelled the world teaching precision and creative colour techniques.

“Sophie is an absolute dream of a colourist. She’s exactly the right level of playful and adventurous, but also, always, always chic. She has this incredible grasp of how to make my colour work not only with my skin tone and eyes, but with my vibe, too.”
