Fraught...

The shadows under my eyes are darker even than usual, I'm feeling a bit wrung-out as it's been a bit of a week. But I was greeted by the transformation of Shop to Hair Salon on Saturday when I went down to cover Lisa's break, and it was a welcome relief....

Lisa's going to Ascot and has had hat worries...but true to her creative streak, she has bought one hat and made another. However, it was in the hair department that she was unsure. She has lovely but very fine hair and didn't think it had the body to do justice to a hat. Then Sam came to the rescue with a comb and a penchant for backcombing and voila! , our Saturday girl had a chignon you could stick pencils in!!!!



Sam knows hair, that's for sure, I've seen many looks he's conjured over the years, from Perm Noir to Anneka Rice on acid - but never seen his deft hands at work on somebody else.....Lisa was still terrified in principle of backcombing, but was amazed at the transformation!


She really is such a lady, she goes to balls rather often too!!!
