"[Chapter in Hair by Sam McKnight ] which begins with a gushing intro by Karl Lagerfeld: "There are few artists . . . as gifted as Sam in the worlds of Hair and Fashion," he says, before his silvery ponytail makes way for hundreds of other signature styles , from '80s poof-balls to Linda Evangelista's pixie cut and Lady Gaga's silver locks."

"Once someone lands in the stratosphere of their career- in Sam McKnight's case, among the editorial hair legends in the fashion world today -it's easy to forget what it took to get there. " It seems strange that I actually fell into hairstyling by accident. I should have been teaching French to 10-year-olds," he writes in his new book, Hair by Sam McKnight . Uninspired by the hippie scene on his college campus in the 1970s, he found an escape by way of his friends' salon, Josef, where he got his start "doing cuts for kids who wanted a Bowie look or a soul-boy wedge," he recalls. "Something just clicked. I was good at hair." The rest, as the book vividly lays out, is history. "

"I've had many highlights - meeting Princess Di, growing up with the supermodels, meeting wonderful actresses like Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett, and doing all those Vogue covers. I've worked with Karl Lagerfeld for about the last nine years, and that's been an incredible experience and an enormously creative role at this time in my career, in my fifties. I've had an extraordinary, amazing time in this business - it's brought me so much joy. But do you know what? I would honestly say, this week, seeing the response to my book has been really, really wonderful. This month is probably going to be the real highlight of my career. I think I have been very good at grasping opportunities, and I'm really glad that I said yes."
