[Music]

this is the channel for Salon staffed by

a team of Industry professionals and

equipped with state-of-the-art cutting

stations back washes and beauty spa

every year in Britain over 300 million

visits are made to salons and spas

giving the hair and beauty industry an

annual turnover of £ 4.1

billion but from tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

the doors will open and you will be able

to book appointments for anything from a

simple trim to a brand new image from

leg waxing and facials to bikini wax and

Botox all completely free but why open

the salon just what is the industry all

about the industry in five words that's

a tough one

I

exciting demanding challenging one more

sexy every year the average person in

Britain spends over 300s on haircuts and

beauty products hairdressing is not just

about perms and blue rinses it's

glamorous exciting and cool hair

stylists these days have the power to

change the way we look and feel you can

really truly change people's lives with

a haircut and to me that is what it's

all about if we can cut somebody's hair

or style somebody's hair there's nothing

there's no better feeling than seeing

somebody feeling good about themselves

as a result of this influence some have

become demigods exalted to the level of

celebrity hairdresses now are

celebrities in their own rights they

appear on chat shows gmtv this morning

you name it there on it people are

interested in what headdresses have to

say what they're doing they're featured

in the national press the women's

consumer glosses everywhere you turn

hairdresses are famous now you know

hairdressing is you know something a

little bit like if you're a superm model

or a photographer or it's an incredible

uh thing that's going to take you into

situations that you never dreamt that

you ever

would the average hairdresser earns £300

a week but making it as a celebrity

hairdresser can bring in as much as

£4,000 a week hairdressing is a very

profitable career for those that want to

do it and for those that want to do it

well only have to come to the British

hairdressing WS to see the wealth and

the money and the success in the room

they're all driving fantastic cars

wearing fantastic clothes have the best

kit available there is money in

hairdressing if you want to do it and do

it

[Music]

properly what is now a fully working

state-of-the-art hair and beauty salon

began Life 3 months ago as a derel South

London Print

Works as the work are underway the

search for the salon staff began from

the tons of application forms received a

few hundred went through to the first

round interviews to um you know wake up

maybe meditate do a bit of yoga then

start working about 11 sometimes they

like to BL on about East Enders and

whatnot I just sit there and listen I

like meeting different people especially

wise people as well I've got a good

sense of

wisdom come I've got a lot of bloody

wand in it you know there you

go oh

oh

yeah up until last year excuse

[Music]

me the production team shortlisted a 100

people to go through to the second round

to advise with decisions leading experts

in the world of hairdressing came on

board as consultants winner of British

hairdress of the year

2002 is Beverly Cabella first up is

Beverly Cabella

hailed by celebrities and colleagues

alike as a goddess with scissors Beverly

is an icon she's the only woman in

hairdressing history to win the coveted

British hairdresser of the Year award

not once but twice in a row the

hairdressing industry is is an amazing

career it's such a creative industry

it's glamorous it's there's so many

different Avenues you can take from

being within the salon session

hairdressing working with celebrities

going on fashion shoots and fashion

shows there's hair shows there's

traveling there's everything on a

personal level hairdressing really is my

life um that's that's all I've done

since the age of 13 Bev's husband

anestis is also her business partner

together they are a major force in the

hairdressing industry anestis will also

be casting a critical eye over the

potential Salon staff I'm so looking

forward to being in charge on this um

because I think it's important to be

able to pick a really good cross-section

of people so that you're going to get a

few fireworks going on which happens in

every SLE but I really want to judge

them one on their personalities and two

how much they really have a passion for

the

industry joining Beverly and denesis is

Anthony muscolo creative director of

Tony and Guy the headdress in industry

for me is you know is is the best

industry you can be

in Anthony has been voted British

hairdresser of the year three times his

revolutionary haircuts and Cutting Edge

Photography have kept him at the

Forefront of the hairdressing industry

for the last 25 years years with 100

High Street salons in the UK and 300

more worldwide Anthony is at the

creative Helm of a multi-million pound

hairdressing franchise I started very

very young you know cuz my father was in

it and the perception of it from the

outside is you know we just cut people's

hair but it's really really quite more

detailed than that there's such a strong

education in this industry because what

you do today is old tomorrow you know

we're not fashion creators but we're

hair creators so you're very much part

of the whole fashion

industry the manager's job is the first

position to be decided finding the right

person is vital to the success of the

salon cut down from the first round

interviews to a short list of seven the

potential managers now face a formidable

panel joining Beverly Anthony and dentis

is the salon series editor Shirley Jones

and the commissioning editor for Channel

4 Ben FR what do you feel are the

essential qualities of a manager I've

been in management for over 20 years and

management is my

for I think you've got to be um a team

player been around the block a bit uh

run my own Sal for 25

years it's a great great opportunity to

to actually you know give the industry a

huge refreshing insight into like this

is this is great and it' be great to be

part of

that my strengths are a born leader

[Music]

you don't have to jump in there The

Barking mad manager

rout you got the right people in there

could come across as being really

professional and quite a a good thing

for the

industry what things will you do in that

Salon to motivate your sta um I like the

atmosphere to be upbeat Buzzy and like a

Clubby type atmosphere and how important

is it to you to be liked very important

probably the most important thing in my

life do you need to be liked you never

liked as a manager what what will be the

worst scenario

where you would have to dismiss somebody

being rude or swearing at a client to me

that would be unacceptable well the

obious ones would be

drugs

negligence

disloyalty um bitchiness things like

that drugs I guess if you're going to do

that do it at your own time drug

abuse alcohol abuse um fighting in the

salon what's your biggest fear of what

could happen probably walking down the

road and somebody goes [ __ ] or or you

know that sort of thing what do you

think are your weaknesses I'm probably

to up front because clearly I wear my

heart on my sleeve and what's on my lung

is on my tongue would you uh let your

staff have relationships with one

another I don't think you can not

encourage it if two people fall in love

or they want a shag then that's kind of

they will do that whatever you whatever

you do long as it doesn't affect their

job the way they work and everything

else are you're tough my biggest rule is

leave your problems at home I do not

want to see you [ __ ] crying over in

the corner over your boyfriend or your

sick mother or your that's personal I do

not care if your mom's been crushed by a

train it's go

home are you tough yeah I I was tough

how short is your fuse

um

well you really want me to answer

that a manager in a top level Salon can

earn over £100,000 a year it is a

position of esteem and power to really

test their Authority each manager is

asked to role play a scene with a

stroppy member of Staff the problem is

that she thinks everyone else in a salon

is rubbish she doesn't respond to

criticism because she knows better than

anyone else tell me what's the problem

well I don't have a problem I feel that

you're not really being you know that

that that enthusiastic towards them what

you mean that enthusiastic well they

feel a little bit isolated from you what

isolated yeah they feel that you're sort

of you're often doing your own thing

people have been bitching about me

behind my I'm pretty with people and if

they don't come and say it to me but

what you're saying is the other starlist

have got a problem with you is that what

you're saying to me I'm not saying that

someone else has obviously said it I've

not said anything you seem to think

you're better than everyone else in the

Sal well unfortunately I can't have that

attitude in the salon what about if we

did a bit of a seminar or a bit of a

Suare even so that they could see what

you do if you can't get the guys on your

side then your job is on the line Your

Role is very important and it's

important to us and it's important to

your clients to me as well listen guys

all right right I know what you're

saying you should be kind of gossiping

around the C not I think you're a really

good stylist and I think you got a lot

of

potential I think you're a really good

stylist and I think You' got lots of

potential let's work on the team and

bring them up to your level they're on

the bus and you're just a stylist so go

home sweetheart

end of show

[Applause]

[Music]

goodbye I think he all with the

interviews over the panel discussed the

contenders Jacqueline was very very

strong she was good I really like to run

the confrontational situation she was

brilliant she brilliant I mean you know

that was a good manager I personally

don't know

whether she was enough to keep me

interested in watching I don't think I'd

tune in to watch her they have to take

control it is their Salon they have to

run it like a business this is what

worried me about Clive Clive did not

take control at all he's he's a lovely

guy and he's he's probably the fairest

man on this Earth but they will walk all

over him it worries me that he regards

as a TV program instead of approaching

it as a business it's a real business it

has to have authority otherwise it falls

at the

but I think ad is is the future of

hairdressing of all the people I saw

today he certainly would be he really is

cly passionate about it and he he's good

I think yeah I think he represents the

industry well because it is about

individuality and creativity and passion

I think Paul is very lik to I think he's

a young version of Terry think that's

what Paul is he's got the same qualities

he's got that flirtatious look he's got

that kind of Twinkle in his eye yet he's

also obviously a good manager is he

strong enough to run this has a serious

oper the strong strong thought I'm I'm

not sure I don't know Paul very well but

I know Terry and some of the things he

came that came across he's got some very

good morals actually you know basically

you're looking at Terry you're looking

at Paul and you're looking at ay you

know A's got a great quality of R bomb

right there in front of everybody but

the others have got what we want from a

manager you know or some of what we want

from a

manager after much deliberation the

panel finally made a decision I'm happy

with that I think we had seven people

but I think they're the

oneone everybody agrees I think they'll

be really good yeah I look forward to

seeing them yeah it' be

brilliant coming up in part two the

shortlisted stylists are put to the test

and the manager of the salon is revealed

if people don't meet his expectations

sloppy work poor standards I mean I'm

sure you wouldn't have that but he will

not tolerate

that

tomorrow Channel 4 open their high class

hair and beauty sellon for 5 days a week

you can book appointments for haircuts

coloring waxing massage nails and many

other

treatments every business needs a boss

and in a hair and beauty salon the main

man is the manager pick from a short

list of seven experienced professionals

that position has now been

filled my name is Paul Meritt and I the

manager of the

salon I started hairdressing 15 years

ago and within that time I've kind of

done various shows seminars I was on the

fame team for the fellowship which is

quite a kind of prestigious thing to do

I've won Next Generation award I've won

uh image of the Year award I've done

various front covers for different

magazines as well at the moment I'm

working with Nicki Clark and I'm just

setting up the Manchester Salon previous

to that I've sort of traveled the world

really from Mexico Taiwan Japan uh done

all sorts of jobs Miss Mexico's hair uh

when we was in Mexico Sal bruny's

daughters for a photo shoot they just

fly you out you do your job and where

you go now I'm in Manchester and I get

to cut P here on Coronation Street and

various football

teams my workmates would probably say a

bit of a character he's a nice guy but

it's a bit of an aging rock star he's

excellent as a boss and he's very good

with the clients very much a charma with

the ladies I've got my own unique style

of leadership which is kind of get them

on my side uh but if someone pisses me

off I'm I'm quite a firm kind of guy if

people don't meet his expectations

sloppy work poor standards I mean I'm

sure you wouldn't have that but he will

not tolerate that whether it's the salon

or any salon and he'll say and he will

be the first to say he won't hold back

in that Sal anyone crosses the line

anyone crosses the line I I'll have to

SA

I'm 35 years old still a bit of a lad um

I love my gadgets um love my fast cars I

like my apartment live in always live in

nice

Apartments big TV scale electrics you

know just just kind of a bit of a boy

really if you come into the cell and get

your haircut with me you've got an hour

of my time my job is to make you look

the best you can possibly look sexy

beautiful whatever it

takes I'm going into s to do my job and

for me every day's got to be exited I'm

going in there to do my job do it well

and make it a bit interested this is

going to be good to

[Music]

watch with a manager now in place our

Consultants turned their attention to

the stylists Juniors and receptionist

all were set practical tests and by the

end 100 hopefuls had passed through the

the doors under the watchful eyes of

Beverly and Anthony the first

receptionist went into action it was her

job to organize the hair models and pair

each stylist with a junior Sandra

immediately impressed Beverly and

Anthony with her professional approach I

think she was very good I mean she was

pretty scary I got be right in there but

she smiled straight away yeah very

strong yeah smiled and she was she knew

she knew her stuff you knew where

everyone should go organize everyone

with with ease I think reception is the

nucleus of any salon and if if things go

wrong there it goes wrong everywhere so

I think she I think she was great all

the potential stylists are trained

industry professionals they were

scrutinized and tested as they would

have been for any job interview we're

looking for the way that you work as a

stylist and as a

[Music]

junior she is quite

a girl yes okay nice breasts yeah which

is great but what I'm saying but making

her her head almost looking smaller than

her breast got some laminat gel nice

Sleek really fresh looking really sort

of

she while Beverly checked the quality of

the work Anthony and anestis were in

reception as another batch of stylists

arrived in front of you if you want to

put your bags in

there as Group after group came through

the door it got loud it got hectic and

it got hot and to make matters worse

Anthony was yet to be impressed some of

them are cutting well I mean uh they're

finishing you know and it could be

nerves but I don't think so you know how

to do it or you anus meanwhile was

pleased by the work of Brazilian

Ricardo wonderful good

job keep after narrowly missing the

manager's job ad was asked back to try

out as a

stylist what do you think of uh a I

think he definitely has a passion and

he's really into it he cares about what

he does the way he goes about doing

things is very unorthodox but there's

nothing wrong with that apart from ad

Anthony also saw potential in the work

of other stylists such as Sonia fun just

have a

look very nice down blast it good

job

it was a bit of a rush at the end but we

got there in the end I was a bit

apprehensive at face coming in cuz

obviously you don't know what to expect

the first 10 minutes it's like whether

my client is big and fat and angly

whatever she can be I can always make it

wor for them why do we always get the

long curly head mon always the Short

Straw it went really well I'm very happy

with what I did I'm okay I mean I cut my

finger all of a sudden I just saw Blood

on the floor and I was

like I think everything went quite quite

smoothly no problems and you know I was

quite happy with the results as

[Music]

well Terry H after the rigorous

practical assessment Salon manager Paul

met those shortlisted by Beverly Anthony

and anestis for a onetoone

chat so who impressed enough to make it

into the

salon

hi my name is Ricardo I'm from Brazil

and I'm going to be a stylist in the

salon I've been hairdressing for about 3

years now just over quite perfectionist

whatever do you think well I think the

French you think the French I think the

fren if a client was to go to Ricardo in

the salon he's just an absolute

perfectionist they go for a nice haircut

but they probably enjoy the drama the

outrageousness cuz you never seen

anything like it before in your life

basically I've been in London now for

over 12 years I just love my freedom I

just love the shopping I I will always

like shopping it just part of me from

Bond Street to charity shops a a

[Music]

dresses and high heels coats hot pants

story The Salon isn't only a

hairdressing experience it also has a

beauty spa with jacuzzi and sauna in

part three the beauty therapists who

hope to work there face a testing time

why didn't you do one cut and then one

coat why don't you put some cream on

there I'd like you to change that for me

mind ad Ricardo and Sonia have been

employed as stylists in the

salon but the salon is not just about

the haircuts there's also a beauty

Spar over the next 8 weeks you'll be

the potential Beauty therapists she's a

highly respected figure in the industry

regularly mentioned in the pages of

tatler and Vogue as a leading Beauty

therapist her celebrity Cleon tell

include Heather McCartney and El

mcferson I've been a beauty therapist

for 15 years very hard work but I love

it before the beauty industry was a bit

quiet and slow because it it was a taboo

subject but now you get women coming in

regularly for manicures regularly for

pedicures waxing the successful

therapist that will make it into the

salon will have to be

intelligent um

perfectionist I really want to get out

of that cliche of therapist being known

as thick dumb we're not thick we're not

dumb and it wasn't the last result

because we didn't do well at school

[Music]

shavat tested a short list of 12 Beauty

therapists each had to Showcase their

technique and professionalism by

performing four treatments a

massage a

facial a leg

wax and a nail

treatment under chat's critical eye no

mistake went

unnoticed why didn't you do one coat and

then one coat and then go back to two

why didn't you put some cream on there

I'd like you to change that for me if

you don't mind just for Hygiene reasons

pressure points on the face someone to

have to fill in

Sonia beautiful girl really

attractive but

he's very friendly so he would work well

with people coming into the salon as

well as the people within the salon the

workers I think I think definitely go in

there and just be myself and enjoy it

I'm not going to do anything more than

that next is Melanie she will assist the

stylists and color

[Music]

hair my mom was a hairdresser so I've

always been around her doing

hairdressing and I've always not been

interested in school just getting my

hands on and doing people's hair and

makeup and all that sort of stuff I'm

still living at home with my mom my dad

and my brother James my dad is 110%

behind me he thinks this a brilliant

opportunity I told her to uh marry the

first millionaire she meets my mother's

not so sure because we're so close as

soon as you know she's home from work

it's the house is just alive so that I

will miss I spend a lot of time with the

girls so we all go out to go

clubing

[Music]

I go out to uh have a good dance I also

go to have a little chat with the

opposite sex London is massive in

hairdressing so I won't experience all

that I think my biggest dream is to my

own salon and win loads of

awards I really like to do real Young's

highlights and um and I wouldn't mind

doing dfort BL highlights as well

because they've got that kind of floppy

hair which always looks nice

highlighted um and any like nice blow

dry on Kylie or something would be quite

cool whatever

anyone the reception area is the nucleus

of any Salon to meet greet and keep the

customers happy is

Sandra currently I'm a head receptionist

for sa Bea COV

gardeny being a have receptionist is

like providing good customer service

making sure the customer knows what's

going to happen how they are making sure

they're comfortable and settled um but

other than that I mean I'm a good laugh

I love having a good time I feel gutted

that she's leaving um I mean hopefully

it won't be for too long so but I know

she'll be really successful in the salon

my family my family they're all mad the

Mad F of Sicilians they are my parents

came over from Sicily about 38 years ago

suay a fluffy girl you know goodlooking

full of a spirit always she Smiley

always happy she never got problems

people can tell I'm very Italian like

not just because of my looks or whatever

but because of my fiery temper and my

passion s has got many emotions I mean

and she's like could be the life and

soul of the party but if you catch her

at the wrong moment she snaps and I

would not want to be someone trying to

chat her up when she's in a bad mood I

do like a good laugh and I could be

quite loud as well but I like to be

entertaining I'm the type of person I

can't sit still and you know if I get

bored quite easily I've got to prance

around or do something stupid or have a

laugh I love socializing um I love

having friends around

entertaining where I currently work at

• giving the hair and beauty industry an annual turnover of £4.1 billion

  ➔ Present Participle

  ➔ The phrase uses the present participle "giving" to show an action that occurs simultaneously with the main clause. It acts as a verb here, describing the effect of the visits on the industry.

• but from tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. the doors will open

  ➔ Future Simple

  ➔ The sentence uses the future simple tense with "will open" to describe an action that will happen at a specific time in the future. It indicates a definite plan or prediction.

• all completely free but why open the salon

  ➔ Adverbial Clause

  ➔ Emphatic Adverbs

  ➔ The sentence uses emphatic adverbs "really" and "truly" to stress the importance of the action. They intensify the meaning of the verb "change."
