Angus Mitchell was a prominent figure in the hairdressing industry. As the co-owner of John Paul Mitchell Systems, the company founded by his father in 1980, he played a significant role in its success. Following his father's passing from pancreatic cancer in 1989, Angus inherited his stake in the company and its schools. In 2010, he opened the Angus Mitchell Salon in Beverly Hills after gaining experience working in Hawaii. His hairstyling skills were greatly influenced by his father's teachings, and he further honed his craft by attending hairstyling school. Angus was not only known for his talent but also for his role as a teacher, model, and spokesman for MITCH, a men's underwear line by John Paul Mitchell Systems.
Throughout his career, Angus Mitchell received numerous accolades, including being named the #1 Platform Artist by Be Magazine. He also received three awards on behalf of the Alternative Hair Show, an event dedicated to fundraising for leukemia research. In recognition of his contributions, Beverly Hills even dedicated an entire day in his honor.
The passing of Angus Mitchell is a tremendous loss to the hairdressing community and beyond. His talent, passion, and impact will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
