“I love fashion and working in this modern salon keeps me in touch with the latest trends.

When your hair is looking fabulous, you will feel great. A red carpet hairstyle is created when you work with your stylist, I recommend building a good relationship with your stylist, you will benefit in the long term.

Its the christmas party season and for a special night out, I like to add a hairpiece to create extra volume in my hair. K2 will match your hairpiece so it will blend perfectly with your natural colour. I also use fresh flowers or other accessories in my hair to help create that perfect party style.

The difference between a good and fabulous do is all to do with the expertise of your stylist. K2 stylists are aware each client is individual so offer a free detailed consultation taking into account hair texture and face shape. To keep up to the minute with the latest trends stylists are regularly sent on training courses in London.

I feel the key for creating that perfect style is to recognise that everyone is individual. Just because that one style looks great in the magazine won’t necessarily mean it will suit you. Before making any hasty decisions I recommend booking in for a free consultation at K2 to help advise you on creating your perfect style."

"Happy Christmas and all the best for 2008! Cheers!" Jo

Lingen Davies is a local charity helping local people with cancer

The Lingen Davies Cancer Relief Fund provides buildings, equipment, and services for the treatment and relief of cancer patients in Shropshire and Mid Wales. The current Appeal is to raise £3.2 m to build a new cancer centre at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

Philip Minton, K2 & Kameo hair salons in Shrewsbury and Newtown have done a lot of work over the years to help raise money for cancer charities. It’s a cause Philip holds close to his heart as he has lost several family members and friends from cancer.

"Royal Shrewsbury Hospital nurse Rogers, seated, from the gynaecology department, will be having her head shaved for charity tomorrow at 12.30pm on the lower level of the Darwin Shopping Centre. Senior Stylist, Anna Clinton, from salon K2, based in the Darwin Centre, will be on hand to carry out the task. All funds from the event will go to the Lingen Davies appeal."
