5 Minutes with Josh Goldsworthy

Josh Goldsworthy, Creative Director for Goldsworthy’s, talks Marbella, Marathons and Metamorphosis


“My happiest moments are always with my family. Holidays are such a precious time where I can spend time with my wife and kids; it makes all the hard work and long hours worth it!”

What’s your favourite thing to do in your free time?
I’m an avid runner, having completed three of the six Marathon World Majors (London, Berlin and Chicago) over the past three years. During training, I run over 70 miles a week, with a marathon PB of 2 hours 56 minutes and a half marathon PB of 1 hour 21 minutes. When I’m not working or running, I love spending time with my beautiful family – I have three kids, all under six. They are my world and keep me busy, which is also why I always look so tired!

Can you tell us about the inspiration behind your latest collection?
Metamorphosis is a bold hairdressing collection inspired by the edgy spirit of grunge, featuring vibrant colours like purples, blues, reds and greens. It showcases innovative techniques such as colour blocking and gradient shading, with daring cuts, asymmetrical fringes and textured finishes. This collection celebrates individuality, rebellion and the power of unique self-expression.

Can you share with us one of your proudest hairdressing moments, and why?
One of my proudest hairdressing moments is being able to share the stage internationally alongside my dad, Steven, and my sister, Sophie-Rose. Despite our various professional achievements and awards in the industry, nothing compares to these family moments. Looking ahead, we hope to perform as a trio – so, Pro Hair, you have the first option for the Goldsworthy Trio!

Quick Fire Favourites:

  1. TO EAT: Wahaca, I always pay it a visit when I’m in London. It’s perfect for a veggie like me.
  2. TO VISIT: Marbella, Spain. Our family home there holds very precious memories for all of us.
  3. TO LISTEN: I need background noise at all times, so I enjoy podcasts like Parenting Hell, The Fozcast and Wolf & Owl. For music, 00S Hip Hop and Rap are always my go-to, especially on race days!
  4. TO READ: Autobiographies.
  5. TO WATCH: A bingeable series with my wife. We struggle to find anything that will ever beat The Sopranos for us!
  6. TO WEAR: Trainers and T-shirts – you’ll struggle to find me in anything else.
  7. TO USE: L’0réal Professionnel Colour, I’m a colour specialist after all!
  8. TO LOOK UP TO: My parents. I’m a family man through and through.
