Adam, who has also styled for opera singer Katherine Jenkins, said he was so traumatised he did not go out for months.
He needed therapy to help him cope, the court was told.
Adam had just left work at the trendy Josh Wood Colour salon in Notting Hill, West London, when the gang pounced.
He was thrown to the ground and his ￡700 Louis Vuitton scarf was yanked from his neck.
One robber wielded a knife and Adam said: “I was told if I made a noise or tried to contact anyone, I would be stabbed.”
He was ordered to hand over his ￡2,250 iPhone 11 Pro Max and his wallet containing ￡500. The gang messaged his friends to try to lure them out to be mugged.
Two of the thugs held him captive while the other pair went to a cash machine and withdrew ￡200 with his card.
