BIO:
"Extraordinary. Visionary. Breathtaking. These are just a few of the adjectives often used to describe the creative genius of Damien Carney. Undeniably one of the most accomplished hairstylists in the last 20 years, Carney has elevated hairstyling into an art form through an impressive body of work.

With a keen eye for detail and the ability to showcase a person’s natural assets, Carney has amassed a portfolio reflecting a virtual “Who’s Who” in fashion and beauty. Music and film stars such as Ryan Gosling, Grace Jones, Olivia Munn, Krysten Ritter, Beth Riesgraf, Trudie Styler, super models including Abbey Lee, Magdalena Frackowiak, Liberty Ross, Jodie Kidd and Karen Mulder are just a few of the “A-List” celebrities and top models who turned to Carney to create their image-defining hairstyles...."

Throughout his career, Carney has globally collaborated with photographers Gilles Bensimon, Ellen von Unwerth, Norman Watson, Rankin and David Slijper. His work has graced the pages of international publications ELLE, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, W, Cosmopolitan and GQ. Carney was honored as on-set stylist for the Movember ad campaign shoot. The funds raised through Movember’s US campaign benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, to promote cancer awareness and research. Kevyn Aucoin Cosmetics turned to Carney’s luminous talent for an ad campaign shoot. He also was chosen as hair designer for Loree Rodkin’s shoot launching her Men’s Eyewear Collection.

Demonstrating strong talent early in his career, Carney served as Artistic Director and Principle Trainer for one of London’s top hairstyling academies. Carney was tapped by creative powerhouse, Trevor Sorbie, to join his legendary Covent Garden Salon. Not only did Carney enjoy mentoring with one of the industry’s most prolific artists of all time in Sorbie, he worked in the salon with industry icons Eugene Souleiman, Vivienne Mackinder, Ruth Roche and Antoinette Beenders, as all were developing their own skills. It was there, in the fertile ground of unbridled creativity, that he achieved the position of “Principle of Education” and in turn received the training of a lifetime.

Since 1999, Carney has wielded his scissors and unique artistic vision for Shiseido Laboratories as the “International Artistic Director” for the beauty giant’s prestigious Joico hair care brand. In 2006, Carney channeled his passion for education into establishing Damien Carney London, a modern, mobile hairstyling academy with satellite offices in London, New York and Los Angeles. Through his vision, Carney inspires artists around the world to take hair design to the highest level of creativity and excellence. "
