Local Salon Owner Stars in New National TV Show

A SUPER talented hair stylist and salon owner whose business is based in Highworth will feature in the second episode of a hit new TV show this week.

Karoliina who owns and runs Karoliina Saunders Hair Design in Sheep Street, Highworth, which opened in 2013, is one of the stars of Channel 5STAR’s, Extreme Hair Wars, which airs this Thursday at 8pm.

The show has already grabbed lots of attention as it asks some of the most talented hairdressers in the UK to compete against each other in creating styles which are as avant garde and off the wall as possible.

Each stylist gets a make-up artist and stylist to help create their total look and Karoliina, 41, credits talented make-up artist Jo Sugar and stylist Joey Bevan with helping bring her ideas to life!

 Tasked with creating sweetshop inspired hairdos, the four competitors get to grips with all kinds of   accessories with stunning results. For her first look, showcasing finger waves, Karoliina mixed   classic and modern with a silver painted mirrored look.

 That first look was unbelievably topped by the second look which saw Karoliina produce a surprise   chocolate waterfall down the parting in the centre of her model’s hair. Show stopping to say the   least!

 Over the past year, Karoliina’s skills and reputation within the hair industry have rocketed and, as   well as being a regular backstage at London Fashion Week and working as an ambassador for Label   M, she most loves sharing her passion for everything creative and new trends with her clientele.

 She said: “I love travelling across the country working in TV, fashion and on shoots, but being in the   salon with my clients and amazing team is always great.

 “They love hearing about where I’ve been, what I’ve seen and learnt. Best of all, many of them are keen to try new things and update their looks.

“Helping someone leave the salon feeling fabulous leaves you feeling great about your job!”

You can see Karoliina battle it out against three other top stylists in Extreme Hair Wars, which will air on Thursday February 1 on Channel 5Star at 8pm.
