GREAT
BRITISH HAIRDRESSER |
Hairstylist
to the A-Listers, James Brown searches for
Britain's Greatest Hairdresser - It could be you,
apply now!
Auditioning 8th Manchester and 15th August London
E4
have joined forces with one of the world's most sought-after
hairstylists, James Brown, to find the best
hairdressing talent the UK has to offer.
Great British Hairdresser is a brand new 10
part series, transmitting early 2011 on E4, that will
search the length and breadth the country to find
exciting new hairdressing talent.
James Brown said: I always wanted to be a hairdresser.
From a young age I was motivated by the challenge
of creating a new hairstyle, and making someone look
and feel fabulous. I love the discipline of working
in the salon, out on shoots and shows, and also with
celebrities and supermodels.
"There
is a lot of skill and technique required with hair
cutting and this is something I will be looking out
for especially. Here in the  UK
we have a great history of producing talented fashion
designers, photographers and stylists, and I am looking
forward to creating that same focus and success with
our hairdressing talent."
The nationwide search for the final ten begins in
August with auditions in Manchester on Sunday 8th
August and London on Sunday 15th August.
• Do you think you are one of the best hairdressers
in the country?
• Would you like to win the opportunity of working
with one of the biggest names in the industry?
• Do you want to style the hair of A-List celebrities?
Splash Media are looking for charismatic and talented
hairdressers to take part in this new reality competition,
to be judged by one of the world's leading celebrity
hairdressers for E4.
Full of glamour, fashion and fabulous celebrities
- this is an opportunity of a lifetime. If you own
or manage a salon would you like to nominate one of
your stylists?
You
will need to be available for auditions on either:
Sunday 8th August in Manchester
or
Sunday 15th August in London
If
you would like to take part in this glamorous new
show, or would like to nominate your
own hairdresser please e-mail hairdresser@splashmediatv.co.uk
or call 0207 255 5439 for an application form
Participants must be 18 or over
The
chosen ten contestants who make it through will then
live and work together in a spectacular London location
as they compete in a series of high-profile hair assignments
designed to test their skills under James' ever watchful
eye.
Each week one stylist will leave the programme until
James is left with his Great British Hairdresser
who wins the opportunity to style an A-list celebrity
for the cover of a top monthly glossy magazine as
well as an offer of working alongside James.
The series was commissioned by Kate Teckman,
Channel4 Features Editor, for E4.
Kate said: "Hair doesn't get bigger than this! James
is a formidable talent in the world of hairdressing
and he's also hugely entertaining to watch so we're
very excited to be working with him on Great British
Hairdresser. It's a show that will be packed with
style, drama and celebrity guests which makes it the
perfect proposition for the E4 audience."
 Paul
Mortimer, Acting Head of E4, added: "We're thrilled
that in green-lighting Great British Hairdresser,
E4 has begun its foray into non-scripted prime time
event series. This programme, along with others to
be announced, will be a feature of our 2011 schedule
as we embark on life without Big Brother."
James Brown is the celebrity hair stylist with
an appointment book that includes Kate Moss, Gwyneth
Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker but now he faces
his biggest challenge as he sets out to find the Great
British Hairdresser.

 Magic
Numbers is a live primetime Saturday night series for ITV1 hosted
by Stephen Mulhern set to take the summer schedules by storm.
It's a fast-paced, multi-item entertainment event where your
phone could win you a fortune. Each week the show will feature
big name celebrity guests, live outside broadcasts and exciting
studio games and stunts with guaranteed laughs. Central to the
show is a compelling competition for viewers at home to win
a fortune, just by using their phone number. Each show features
six different stunts or games. Each of these will produce a
number between 0 and 9. All viewers need to do is match at least
two of these numbers with any of the last six digits in their
phone number and  they
are eligible to enter to play for an amazing prize.
We are looking for a group of about 10 hairdressers to
take part in one of the fun games live on the show. The show
will be live every Saturday night from mid-July at a studio
in London and you will only be required for one show. Out of
the 10 who take part there is the potential for the winner to
receive a prize. Ideally we would like to meet people (or at
least speak to them beforehand) so require responses within
the next week if possible.
If you have any questions you can reach Sonal, the Associate
Producer on: 020 7153 0608

AMAZING PRIZES TO BE WON
Hampers filled with ghd's and Bobbi Brown goodies
Director: Jeff Stilson 95mins
Starring: Chris Rock, Maya Angelou, Vanessa Bell Calloway,
Sandra Denton, Eve
Chris Rock, a man with two daughters, asks about good
hair, as defined by Black Americans, mostly Black women.
He visits Bronner Brothers' annual hair convention in
Atlanta. He tells us about sodium hydroxide, a toxin
used to relax hair. He looks at weaves, and he travels
to India where tonsure ceremonies produce much of the
hair sold in America. A weave is expensive: he asks
who makes the money. We visit salons and barbershops,
central to the Black community. Rock asks men if they
can touch their mates' hair - no, it's decoration. Various
talking heads (many of them women with good hair) comment.
It's about self image. Maya Angelou and Tracie Thoms
provide perspective.
Screening times
Daily at 1pm and 9pm from 25th June

LEEDS SALON GROUP WEST
ROW
WINS NORTH EASTERN REGIONAL FINALS OF
PRESTIGIOUS L’ORÉAL COLOUR TROPHY!
 Leeds
salon group West Row’s creative team has won a place in
the L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy Grand Final 2010
in London, after sweeping to victory in the recent regional
final in Leeds. West Row’s Assistant Art Director Nicola
Hulatt-Richards (stylist) will head up the team with Jenny
Pelter (colourist).
The duo had just 30 minutes to create a style that reflects
both their fierce hairdressing skills and their awareness
of key trends from the Autumn/Winter 10/11 runway collections.
A panel of the UK’s most highly acclaimed hairdressers judged
each competitor on both their fashion awareness and technical
ability. To even reach the regional final, the salon fought
off competition from over 1200 photographic entries – this
is the third consecutive year that West Row have won the
regional final and last year they scooped the overall Men’s
Image Award, so are keen to add to the trophy cupboard at
the electrifying Grand Final event on 28th June at the Grosvenor
House Ballroom, Park Lane, London!
 Nicola
Hulatt-Richards said, “We are absolutely ecstatic to be
in the final. When we were announced as winners we just
screamed at each other in shock! It would be great to bring
the trophy to Leeds!
“Our winning look was created on the theme of nude being
the new black and the use of "touch me" fabric such as fur.
We saw the perfect Lanvin outfit that utilised both and
decided to recreate it but with a twist - the overall appearance
of the outfit is structured but with a softness and we wanted
this to show through in the hair; soft but with an inner
structure.”
Each competitor must demonstrate a sharp awareness of current
definitive trends and translate them into all of the elements
that create an overall look. Make-up, styling and hair will
need to merge flawlessly on a model selected specifically
to capture the look. Errol Douglas explains the elements
that should be considered for a look that stands out:
“ This year the winner will need to be edgy yet beautiful
with a total look that shows more than just colour technique.
At the regional finalist stage competitors should really
scrutinize their model and look for someone who is both
on trend and can walk with confidence. Each competitor should
incorporate a strong catwalk influence in their style concept
and ensure their images are photographically on trend.”
New for 2010, this year’s overall winner for The L’Oréal
Professionnel Colour Trophy and L’Oréal Professionnel Men’s
Image Award will experience an unparalleled prize of ‘A
Year Of Dreams’ with a tailor made calendar of bespoke opportunities
that will help them take their talent and their business
to the next level.
“The L’Oréal Professional Colour Trophy award is the highest
accolade you can win”, explains hairdressing expert Charles
Worthington, “This year’s prize is more exciting than ever,
the benefits span over the whole year, the opportunities
are endless and the sky’s the limit”.

art team presented a superbly stage show,
led by Skyler McDonald and Yesmin O’Brian,

 After
a break, the all important Awards Ceremony

loyal staff.
Senior members of the Sean Hanna organisation,
Sean himself and guest celebrities from the
industry including top hairdressers Richard
Ward and Paul Falltrick then presented awards
recognising the creative and business skills
of the seanhanna teams from both head office

HABB Annual Bike Ride
Challenge Raises Over £25,000 |
 |
This year saw 31 devoted HABB fundraisers
cycle 450km through two of Asia's most thrilling
countries to raise over £25,000 for HABB,
the industries official charity. Starting
in Vietnam at Ho Chi Min City and ending in
Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the cyclists endured
a gruelling bike ride testing their inner
strength and motivation all in the name of
HABB.
Fundraisers packed their bags and headed off
to the Far East to embark on one of the most
exciting challenges, preparing to cycle through
breath taking scenery and experience the vibrant
cultures along the way. The first few days
of cycling involved trailing down many of
Vietnam's tiny back streets, not even wide
enough for a car. Children would call 'hello'
as the HABB bikers passed by whilst also trying
to ensure they didn't hit any unsuspecting
chickens, or moped riders crossing their paths!
Riding across bumpy, sandy and cracked roads
was only one of the hardships along the way,
two of the bikers even managed to end up in
the water after falling off one of the many
high bridges to cross along the way. The cyclists
all paced themselves at different speeds to
endure the 32 degree heat while riding on
with very tired and sore legs, stopping off
along the way for delicious snacks - including
spiders in batter!
On reaching the Cambodian border the roads
changed and the cyclists made their way to
the final destination on the tour, Angkor
Wat. Half of the group decided to cycle ahead
in the morning to watch the beautiful sunrise
over the Wat and then all riders celebrated
the end of the tour back at their hotel with
a champagne toast to all of their hard work
and achievements.
Sally Styles from the Hairdressing Council
and HABB Fundraising Committee member, who
completed the bike ride says; 'It really was
a truly memorable time and I would say to
everyone, if you can, sign up for the next
one! It's a trip you will never forget, you'll
make friends with some great people as well
as raising money for our charity HABB.'
To request an information pack on future
Charity Bike Rides,

HABB is the official industry charity and
for over 150 years it has supported those
industry individuals that have faced difficulties
in life such as illness, bereavement or financial
hardship. HABB's Children's Fund also supports
over 100 children each month. Individuals

THE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & TREVOR SORBIE TEAM-UP
TO IMPROVE HAIR SERVICES FOR CANCER PATIENTS
|
The
first of My New Hair's new, advanced,
nurse-led, training sessions has taken
place in Newcastle. Paid for by a Department
of Health grant awarded to Trevor Sorbie's
charity My New Hair, the training session,
for hairdressers who are already part
of Trevor's My New Hair Network, focused
on both aftercare relating to hair re-growth
post chemo-therapy and developing communication
with patients
Trevor commented "Anyone who has experienced
medical hair loss will know that the
psychological impact of this upon their
self esteem can be huge, having a knock
on effect on their recovery and also
impacting those who are supporting them.
We know that there is currently a big
gap in aftercare, post chemo, once hair
growth has started and we are keen to
support cancer patients at every stage
of the treatment and recovery."
The Department of Health funding was
given to My New Hair to help cancer
survivors, hairdressers and NHS staff
work together during hair re-growth
following treatment and as well as additional
training (a further 4 sessions are currently
planned in Manchester, Bristol, London
& Birmingham) the grant has also been
provided to support the "My New Hair"
team in extending and expanding the
programme to provide the following:
|
Sarah
and Christine wear wigs as a result of
cancer treatment.
The only people that know are those they
choose to tell and they
wanted to share their secret with you.
|
1. A comprehensive resource for hair professionals
to support the education programme and help
them provide effective pre-care and aftercare
services for cancer patients
2. An educational booklet for patients and

FEELING MOTIVATED & MOVED
My New Hair members are typically independent
hairdressers who feel personally motivated
and moved to work in this very sensitive area
of hairdressing. They don't just work from
a salon, some are mobile hairdressers, others
work from home and a special few have complementary
skills such as nursing or trichology.
Trevor Sorbie gives women new
confidence with his skill at making
wigs look totally natural and on trend.

Since
launching "My New Hair" in 2006 Trevor
has trained over 200 hairdressers across
the country and worked closely with
many NHS hospitals and hospices. In
2009 "My New Hair", has inspired a new
project from The North of England Cancer
Network to review and improve wig services.
This has been heralded nationally as
a ground breaking step forward to raise
the bar for wig provision and wig services
and an NHS "toolkit" featuring My New
Hair has been provided to all NHS networks
across the country for guidance.
This unique service improvement has
ensured that patients across the North
East and Cumbria have access to the
same quality and service when receiving
a wig. It also provides patients with
a choice of where they can go, directing
them to a number of participating salons
across the region, who can supply, fit
and personally style wigs for patients.
The wig and initial styling will be
paid for by the local NHS and is available
for all women who have lost their hair
for medical reasons including alopecia.
Many My New Hair salons in the region
tendered for the contract and are helping
to deliver this service in partnership
with wig suppliers.
The project came about when it became
evident, through
|
patient
feedback, that there were big differences
surrounding the quality of wigs and level
of services provided in various parts of the
North of England.
"This
is the beginning of what will be a challenging
but exciting journey with the NHS -
we have now helped set the precedent
and encourage the rest of the country
to follow our lead. "My New Hair" has
given me a whole new dimension to job
satisfction, using my skills to give
something back to society and do something
truly meaningful, it isn't about hair,
its psychological medicine for women
who are suffering hair loss through
illness."
Trevor Sorbie,
MBE Founder My New Hair
TRAINING SEMINARS
Trevor and his team are continuing to
work closely with L'Oréal Professionnel,
who sponsor the monthly My New Hair
training seminars at the L'Oreal head
quarters in London. This work is crucial
to the continuing growth of the national
network of My New Hair salons.

Trevor aims to make the My New Hair service
more local to everyone in the UK establishing
a network that can pull together, sharing
their expertise to offer a best practice service
in every region. The aim is train up to 400
hairdressers across the country to deliver
the "My New Hair" service in salons and healthcare
environments and the Department of Health
grant has made this target more achievable.
Inspired by his own experience, helping a
family member during cancer treatment, Trevor
Sorbie launched his charity "My New Hair"
as a not-for-profit organisation in June 2006.
Trevor now dedicates all of his salon time
to offering advice, and a wig customisation
service, to clients suffering from medical
hair loss.
"My New Hair" also has a dedicated
website www.mynewhair.org pin-pointing local
salons and offering tips for both clients
and hair professionals on selecting, customising
and caring for wigs.
"My personal goal is also a passionate
promise, to make this service accessible to
women around the UK and long term the world."
