Well, I like to change it a lot and it's pretty funky! but I did it slowly so I had a bob first and now it's just shorter.

Good girl, good girl! (mumbles) er...(munch, munch)

Are you eating while you're talking to me!?

Yeah! I'm eating nuts. Anyway, Posh is such an influence and all girls like her and now she's had her hair cropped off, it's going to grow out into many different styles. I think it will influence a lot of people, who want to try shorter hair. Although maybe not as short as she has it now. I think that shorter hair is definitely a trend for girls- I've styled very few because not many girls have the courage to have it.

You obviously have a passion for hairdressing, is it the same now as when you started out?

Well, I've got more of a passion these days, because it's taken all of my bloody life to actually cut hair well. Even though there was so much to learn. It's great to have some motivation in your life, like when you do great work it feels good and people feel good, and I've had so many exciting things that have happened in my career now, it's great.

Have you ever made a mistake on a clients hair?

Loads, absolutely loads.

Did you let them know?!

Well, you know- you just try and bluff it really. You sweat and you panic and you do your best and ride it out. Everyone makes mistakes and it's a learning curve, and yeah... I've made more mistakes on models than I have on clients really.

Who cuts your hair?

At the moment one of my stylists, John cuts it for me and he's just a brilliant barber. I've just been having a short back and sides at the minute for the first time since the 80s. He's brilliant at doing that so I've been going there.

Who are your celebrity clients?

I've done everyone from Posh to Jordan, Rolling Stones, Kasabian. We've done loads...

What's next for the Lee Stafford hair range then?

I've got some new products coming out soon, that takes it to 22 and the new one is coming out this month, so I've got more space in Boots. It's going really well, we're now in 28 countries so you know the brand is just going from strength to strength.

Whose hair do you rate at the moment and who do you think could use your help?

I quite like Posh's and I think the Queen could do without my help, she needs a little Chanel bob or something.

We ask everyone we interview to come up with a question for the next person we interview so Gok Wan asked you -Do you wear briefs or boxers?

I definitely don't wear boxers. In fact the last girlfriend I had, I got into bed with her and she went 'oh my god, your pants are smaller than my knickers' I like the square ones really!
