It is no secret to any of us that Leo really struggled at school and came away from this difficult time in his life with nothing more than sheer determination to succeed.

This week Leo returned to Brooklands College were he was unsuccessful in re-taking his GCSE’s to inspire and motivate a group of kids who haven’t had the best start in life and are apart of The Prince’s Trust Foundation scheme.

Leo’s talk was right from the heart as he told them his captivating story of how he went from school drop out to an International brand within 10 years! Leo is aware that without other people’s help this would not of been possible for him and to have this opportunity to be able to give back on this level was one the best things Leo has ever done.

Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year.

The Princess Trust address this by giving practical and financial support to the young people who need it most they help develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move into work, education or training.

Leo will keep in touch with the group and looks forward to hearing their progress when he returns in the summer.

We cut and coloured all of their hair on the show and WOW didn’t they look great. It just goes to show with the right advise and expertise you can really make a difference.

What a BUZZ!

Earlier this week I had the privilege of working with three extraordinary women. ITV This Morning invited Debbie, Janet and Doris onto the show to discuss one of the most common side effects of cancer treatment – hair loss and re-growth. Each of the ladies had undergone various types of chemotherapy and had lost different amounts of hair. Anyone who has experiences hair loss knows that it can take away your confidence, and leave you feeling less feminine.

Debbie used to have straight hair but it grew back curly and she didn’t know how to manage it. For Debbie it was a learning curve, she had to figure out how to style her new hair and make it work for her. I gave her a permanent blow dry, which removes frizz and controls curls and taught Debbie how to blow-dry her new hair at home. 

Janet ‘s hair fell out as soon as her chemo began and it had been pride and joy. Loosing it had a massive impact on her but thankfully it grew in quickly. Janet had a good amount of hair but was in desperate need for some texture and shape. After a good haircut, Janet’s hair instantly looked styled, with more volume and enhanced colour.

 With Doris, her hair had started to thin at the front, which was due to bereavement, and the stress of finding out she had cancer three weeks after her husband passed away. I could tell from looking at Doris that her confidence had been shattered. The kind folk at Trendco donated a lace front wig, which I cut to suit Doris and as soon as I fitted it you could see the joy and confidence reappear. 

The thing with chemotherapy is that it kills off the cancer cells but it alters other cells, including your hair follicles, which is why the hair can grow back differently in texture and colour. I would advise anyone having undergone chemotherapy to leave their hair for about six months before getting any colour or treatments applied and the hair needs time to settle. 

 It was a huge honour to work with Debbie, Janet and Doris, three beautiful women who at the end of the day began to feel like their old selves.

The makeover wasn’t about making Sara Jane look prettier or more attractive, it was about instilling confidence and taking her back to the assertive person she had once been. After the makeover Leo noticed a remarkable change in Sara Jane’s demeanour; “Sara Jane instantly stood up straighter and looked far more happier within herself. I love being able to be part of such a change – we see it everyday in the salon, women leave happier and more confident. Hair is a very big part of this.”
