THE SALONRun by eleven full-time staff, The Salon is a fully working hairdressers and beauty salon in South London, which opens its doors every weekday tea-time in January. "The Salon will have the feel of a sanctuary, away from it all – the ultimate relaxation station" Viewers will be able to take part in The Salon by booking appointments with any one of the stylists or beauticians. The half-hour daily shows will also feature members of the public, who will be sharing topical stories as they have their treatments. Plus, once a week, leading beauty experts will visit The Salon to provide the latest specialist treatments including Botox, colonic irrigation and collagen lip implants. The Salon will bring you everything you would expect to find in a high street hair and beauty spa – topical gossip and chat, makeovers and beauty tips. Over eight weeks, all the daily dramas, behind-the-scenes gossip and staff-room banter will be captured via discreet cameras and microphones placed at key locations throughout the premises. While the viewer appointments will be free of charge, all other aspects of The Salon will operate like any other beauty business. All the professional staff will be working to the highest standards, under the watchful eye of The Salon manager Paul. Paul’s staff consists of three stylists - Adee, Ricardo and Sonja - junior colourist Melanie and receptionist Sandra. Beauticians Sabrina and Suzanne and beauty trainee Oliver will also be working under Paul’s guidance. In addition, two junior hair stylists will also be appointed during the first week of the series. The staff were selected to work at the South London spa with the assistance of consultants Anthony Mascolo of Toni&Guy, Beverly Cobella (Hairdresser of the Year 2001 & 2002) and beauty therapist Shavata Singh, from Michaeljohn, Mayfair.
