Wednesday 16 April

The Salon is at an end tomorrow. Today’s been fab. Sabrina had a lovely day with Alex as a slave and her mum and aunty came in. Adee and Sab had their clips shown tonight so definitely mine tomorrow.

Don’t want to leave The Salon, my new lifestyle, my fans… but most of all my new treasured friends. It’s been the bestest 14 weeks of my life. I’ve had ups and downs, laughs, found love. It’s the biggest achievement ever. I’m sad to be leaving but happy to see my parents, brother, grandparents, mates – my old but amazing life. I’ll hit reality with a bump.

It’s been a fantastic experience and I can say been there done that. I’ve earned respect off my fellow colourists in the industry and admire the new skills and knowledge I have gained from John, Paul, Adee. The friendships I have from Sabrina, Sonja, Carina, my brother Vass, my mum Sandara. Suzanne is the most incredible person – a strong character, role model. AJ is a complete star!

Paul – thank you for everything over the last few months. You have pushed me to my full potential and I respect you and admire you completely for your advice and just being the most amazing person to work with. John you are truly glitzy. I love you to bits. You have taught me everything you can and I never will forget you for it. I am honoured to work with you and be your friend – forever!

Sonja – my sister – you’re my twin! Thanks for the laughs. You made my 14 weeks worth it. Wouldn’t know what to do if you weren’t there. Sabrina, thank you for showing me some of the best times and sharing your good times with me! I love ya!

My Clients – you’ve been fantastic. A pleasure to meet you and to make your time at The Salon memorable. It wouldn’t have been a show without you.

But many thanks to my support from fans who have made me feel a million dollars. Your letters, thoughts, gifts and interest in me is incredible and I’m glad I have been an inspiration to you. May each and every one of you follow your heart, dreams and go for what every you want in life. You have been my rock through this. Will never forget any of you. When I go tomorrow remember my talent and my giggles and I will remember every single day. The memories I take with me will all be good ones as I haven’t disliked any point of it!

Hopefully I’ll be around a little or a lot after and me and Jonathan will have a great future to share! Mum, Dad, James, here I come! I’m coming home! Love forever. Goodbye The Salon Mel xx

Oh yeah, one more thing I know you all want to know. Me and Jonathan! I have met the most incredible person ever. All those times I’ve been out at home, met people, got bored, insecure, over career minded and to go on TV and find true love is amazing. I feel so much for that guy. He looks after me and is positive with anything I want to do. What ever happens after that door closes I’m sure another one will open for our relationship that finally we can keep behind closed doors because it’s been so hard. Thank you to everyone who’s sent us both a card and pressies – wedding invites all round – he he! See you on The Salon 2 where me and Johnny will be running it! xxx


Tuesday 15 April

So tired, so hung over, so loopy! Last night was fab. So proud of my team - Lara Johnson! Nice to see everyone. Went down hill after 6 vodkas and 2 wines. No love! Break dancing and everything… oh well proves I’m down to earth and up for a laugh.

It was lovely to hear all the positive comments from people who were in my industry and to be respected and looked up to for what I’ve done and shown. Got completely mobbed - signed books and tummies! Had lots of photos taken – unbelievable!

My PE teacher came in today. Couldn’t believe it. I thought I knew that face! She was lovely. Nice to hear her thoughts and she was proud of me! Ahhh! Lovely Clients again.

Sab’s birthday tomorrow so gonna do Johnny’s hair then get an early one to be a bit more human tomorrow for her. John is off to a premiere tonight! Glitzy! Love that guy!

Two days left. Sonja and Suzanne’s clips tonight – dying to see mine now! Goodnight. x


Monday 14 April

L’Oreal Colour Trophy tonight. Can’t wait to see the girls. Had fun with Sarah - she’s gone shopping. Had a wicked day. Lovely Clients and lots of laughs with Sonja. Days are going fast so we may as well have a giggle! Got a new dress for tonight! Excited! Tell you all tomorrow! John’s and Carina’s vids were fab! xx


Sunday 13 April

Last Sunday! So emotional! Never working a Sunday again – last Sunday tube! Day was ok, no Adee until after dinner. Couldn’t believe the news that he’d been in a fight. Didn’t see his face – heard it was nasty though. Get well soon babe! No Carina – missed her. Helped Vass as much as I could.

Had the best weekend ever! Excellent photo shoot. I’m a happy girl. Tired today though - long weekend. Gonna make the most of the last week so had major giggles with Sonja. Had fun with a can of hair mousse as well. Sad!

Paul’s urging us to finish on time tonight because he’s got videos of our best bits! Vass and AJ were tonight. They were a laugh. So excellently done. Felt dead emotional cos it’s finally hit home that the show’s drawing to an end. It’ll be dead weird not seeing everyone every day. What a horrible thought!

Mon tomorrow – looking forward to the evening as I’m meeting my colleagues from Wales who I ain’t seen for months! Taking my hubby with me – may as well introduce him! He he!

Sarah’s down tonight. Can’t wait to see my beautiful bezzy mate. I wish I could see Bobbie and my little goddaughter too. Got lots of catching up to do with “curly” so get back to you tomorrow night. x


Thursday 10 April

Assessment day. So glad to see Angie. Did get really nervous and panic'd a bit but I did good and all I've got to do now is do my cutting. Out tonight should be a giggle - hope Angie enjoys.

Really stressed today, but looking forward to the weekend. Sooo tired! Got a photo shoot Saturday with Jonny! Oh my God, so chuffed but yet so nervous!

One week left, so sad, already nearly cried in front of Sonja. I'll miss everyone so much. Wish it could be extended even more. Looking forward to the last week for different reasons 1) because I'll see my family at the end, especially my grandad 2) because it'll be a wicked week!

Still hanging onto the memories so far. My life and my mates are in London now, but do I want to go back to Wales? I love my boss and really want to go back but whether it's now or 6 months - 1 year, who knows! Hopefully I'll be a familiar face for a long time!

Here's to the best week and my friends forever. Mel xx

Wednesday 9 April

Late night, working early and staying late. Johnny is manager – yippee! Good Clients today. Did get very stressed with one colour because it took ages to lift. Had a water fight with Vass. He’s my big bro!

Some weird thing happened though. Some weird Voodoo word appeared on my arm – totally freaked! Everyone thinks I’m joking apart from Vass! Maybe it was a bit of a tint!

Got my assessment tomorrow – oh my God! Fingers crossed. Had such a giggle with Sonja tonight. It was a very weird moment. We had such a laugh – who’d have thought washing dishes could be so much fun!

Looking forward to tomorrow night. Should be a laugh! Found out my mate’s coming down Sun for two days. Can’t wait to see her!

One week left. Sooo happy it will be a memorable one. Don’t want it to end! Missed coming home with Johnny and Sab tonight and going in on my own this morning. Can’t wait to see them tomorrow! Goodnight

Oh my God I forgot the Chuckle Brothers came in – how cute! I love the little one. I wanted to take them home and get them out when I’m bored! I’m sure I could find a little box for them to live in! Ahhh! xxx


Tuesday 8 April

Slow day again but a good one and out tonight. Had a lady in for a colour but she couldn’t have one so instead she taught me how to walk like a lady. I loved her. She was great!

Starving again! Someone keeps eating my food. Paul made me drop my dinner on the floor because he was putting bread in my hair. So he gave me half a Mars Bar cos I reckon he felt guilty.

Oh yeah, I wore a pink skirt with leopard print knickers. Everyone saw them and picked on me all day! Missing Sonja but she’ll be back! Mel x


Monday 7 April

Long day! Looked ruff! Missed Sonja. She would have kept me going. I just wanted to sleep. Everyone is run down. Poor Sab wanted her mum and AJ was still suffering.

Did some nice colours. Can’t believe how much I made myself look a bitch – it was only a joke. Someone had brought me and Johnny a pressy and a card and said when I don’t want him anymore she can have him. Oh my God girl do I ever think I said give me 2 weeks! Poor Johnny looked as if he was going to kill me. I never meant it. I was trying to be funny! We are gonna be together for a long time – 4eva! Might even work together. Who knows. I ain’t going back to Milton Keynes though! No offence but it’s London or home to mummy for me!

Paul’s taking us out for dinner tomorrow. Should be nice. He’s noticed everyone feeling a bit down. I’m gonna miss him! Next time someone asks me my idol in the industry it’s Paul Merritt!

Gonna get an early one as probably have a few vodkas tomorrow night and roll back to the hotel at 1am! Night x


Sunday 6 April

What a weekend! Taboo was fantastic but we all got split up after it. I lost EVERYONE (including Johnny). I ended up walking round London and clubbing with a 6 foot drag queen (who I already know). It was funny and because my phone was bust nobody saw me or spoke to me until Sat dinner time so I was a missing person till I found Sab.

Went to John “Glitzy” shop then for a few vodkas (or 8 doubles in my case)! Poor Johnny was hungover today, looking good though. He escaped from me, Sab, John and Vassos and went out with his mates, maybe because me and John were dancing to Christina in the middle of Vassos’s living room!

Nice Clients – set one up with Vass, he he. He could be her toyboy. Sonja went home today. She had another panic attack. Why is this happening to her? It’s not fair. She was so happy this morning.

Started getting another cold – nice! Johnny’s fault! Mind you how can you not kiss him even when he had the flu! Ahhh! Getting an early one tonight to be a bit more awake tomorrow. Love ya. x


Thursday 3 April

Horrible day! I was sooo tired, I knew I would be. My clients were lovely, especially one called Louisa. She said I reminded her or her best friend who had died. In a way, she did remind me of myself. She had a few things to say about me and Jonny. It's interesting to see people's outlook on our relationship.

At the moment I am getting a little upset and frustrated that my relationship is broadcast in front of millions. It can't be avoided but I thought it was meant to be private! Oh well, only 2 weeks left and then we can really sort things out. Two weeks will go really fast so I'm worried about what will happen after, who will I never see again? Am I going back to Wales?

Me and Sonja had a client together. She showed me a picture of her as a full head bleach blonde, which looked awful. It was yellow but it didn't suit her skintone and her words were 'don't make me look like that' I refused to bleach her hair and went with soft honey highlights. When she saw the finished look she even asked for the colours so she could maintain her look.
But outside later she said she didn't like the colour and wanted it re-done. I reckon she just wanted to come back for another 5 minutes of fame! (hehe!)

Planning to sleep for most of the day on Friday and then go shopping. Saturday meeting Sonja for a psychic reading. Think Jonny is going home and being that I have not got a phone, how am I going to get in touch with anyone this weekend?

Going to Taboo tonight with John, Sab, Carina, Sonja and Jonny. Should be a laugh. Tell you all soon!


Wednesday 2 April

Long hard day! Worked from 9:45 until midnight – sooo tired! Enjoyed the late night though. Glad I did it although it did seem hard going. Coloured Gina G’s hair – so cool! Dreading tomorrow because I’ll be tired.

Going to see Taboo tomorrow night with the guys so hopefully I’ll still look half human by the end of the day!

Glad to see Desmond today – I love him! We saw him last night at the party and he took us to McDonalds in his convertible after – wow!

Hopefully get a new phone this weekend because I’m going mental without one. Looking forward to the weekend and seeing the late night show. Goodnight.

Oh yeah, I did a lovely Client today who told me she was pregnant. I was so happy for her. She was only 5 weeks and not told many people! I feel privileged. xxx


Monday 1 April

Lush day! April Fool day and all that! Sonja did a good one – broken wrist – no love! Although I fell for it.

Finally cracked it tonight. Lost the plot finally! Started laughing and shouting at the same time at the end of the day.

One major rush to get out. Took AJ and Sonja back to my hotel where AJ really came out of this shell. He was well loud and helped me out with my outfit for tonight even putting blusher on my legs to make me look lush! Had a giggle at the party. Felt way good but dreading tomorrow. Got loads to ya but too tired. Tell ya tomorrow because it’s late. I’m working tomorrow 10:30 – 12! Love Mel x


Monday 31 March

OH MY GOD! Ricardo’s gone! Gutted! Couldn’t believe it this morning when Ricardo stood on the cutting floor to reveal an A4 page full of feelings and slagged off Paul. I felt I wanted to cry but if he feels he’s made the right decision then good on him. Good luck to him all the way!

Busy day anyhow because of Adee and Ricardo we were 2 stylists down. Missed Johnny in the morning because he caught a later train as he had to go to the doctors – ahhh! Felt really cheeky and naughty today. Vass noticed as he said my new blonde hair made me a rebel!

Didn’t see Sab much today and I didn’t feel up to going out for a drink after work as I was tired and Johnny needed an early night anyway. Really excited for tomorrow, got to be on my best behaviour. Doing the whole girlie night. Tonight the tan, nails, hair – lush! Can’t wait to flaunt my new dress – hope Johnny doesn’t think it’s too short.

Well chuffed today when Paul asked me to have a chat. As usual I did my nut as I walked into the office but he’s gonna get me doing cuts! I’m so delighted he will be teaching me! Yeah! Tell you all about the bachelors do tomorrow! x


Sunday 30 March

Mother's Day! Had a lush day. Johnny was ill - ahh! My mum came in today - I really miss her! Johnny's mum had an excellent time!

Johnny's so cute! I really feel comfy with him. At last! I even ate a Chinese with him! So glad to see everyone! Goodnight. xxx


Thursday 27 March

What a morning! Had a lovely night last night (no drinking) and early night but I woke up late and didn't set my alarm! My phone rang at ten to nine and it was Jonathan asking where I was. I got ready in 10 minutes (so I looked like s**t) and took a taxi. Not too late tho! Morning was cool as we had appraisals. Mine was last so I was bricking it!

Beverley was lovely and so was everyone. I got positive feedback and chuffed that an 'idol' like beverley said I would go places - yipee!

Nice clients, no stress, just lots of giggling with my posse - Mel, Sab and Johnny 'Glitzy!' Going out with my gang tonight. Meeting up with Carina and Suzanne too. Of course Jonathan was with me - ahhh!

The day ended with a meeting about Ricardo. I knew he would be in, but we were still nervous for him. Paul dropped a bombshell by saying he would resign. I was gutted, he is such an inspiration to me. I've got so much respect for him so please don't go!

Looking forward to next week and as always am loving it all the way. Having my hair done by Daddy John so I should look FIERCE on Sunday. Topshop needs a visit on the weekend. Can't get enough of it.

Bound to have an essay to write about my weekend as I have the bestest friends ever and Sab always shows me the best times!


Wednesday 26 March

Lovely morning, quiet but easy going. Did a lovely lady this morning, nice to 'click' with my Clients. Missed Jonny this morning. It’s dead hard not to give him a little cuddle but we can’t till after work.

My feet were killing me today. Couldn’t wait to go home and chill! Felt really sorry when I put my jacket on to go and looked at how tired Jonny was – ahh!<

Nearly lost my diary tonight by being such a dizzy bird and leaving it in Boots. Went for pizza with Sabrina tonight – yummy. Wanted to see what Ricardo looks like in drag outfit number 2. I think he finds out tomorrow whether he stays or goes. He’ll be fine (I hope).

Had a bit of a mad burst of energy with Sonja tonight. I think because I was quite tired you feel a little bit mad so we had a dizzy moment with the Mr Muscle and the Reception desk!

Looking forward to seeing our appraisals but a bit worried. It will be interesting to see what my body language is interpreted to be like. At the moment I’m still really shy with Jonny so I do feel like I run past Reception or not look at him because I go all giggly – surprise surprise! I’m sure he knows how I feel when I throw him a little smile. Vass and Daddy (John) keep telling me what Jonny says to them, like wanting to marry him! I bloody wish! Still can’t believe my luck! Weeks are running out so I’m going out as much as possible. Tomorrow night should be a laugh if we all go out! Time’s ticking! xxx


Tuesday 25 March

Today was fab, cool Clients and Beverly Cobella came in. Top hairdresser so really nervous to get observed by someone so respected in the hair industry but dead chuffed to be with them and to have tips from them!

Did a web chat tonight. Really wicked. Fab questions – hope I did ok!

Looking forward to tomorrow. Chilled morning. Going out to a bar with the guys tonight so look out bags galore tomorrow! He he! Oh yeah, voted to keep Ricardo in today. Oh my God this is scary! Goodnight.


Monday 24 March

Giggly day still tired though. Had some wicked Clients in. Glad to see Sonja was going out tonight. Wish I had the energy to go too! We all went to MaccyD’s after work – it was cool!

Doing a web chat tomorrow night. Dead scary – could be good though.

Nothing major happened today. Glad to see Sab was back. I did find it hypocritical when John farted in the back room. You so had to be there though – weird sense of humour!

Coloured my honey’s hair today. Bless him even in a plastic gown and bleach on his hair he looked a little sweetie – ahhh! Always glad to finish to talk to him properly as being work partners we have to keep it on the professional note – he he! Good night! x


Sunday 23 March

Mel’s a happy bunny! Today was lovely although I am completely knackered and look like ****. I had a wicked day (maybe to do with a certain someone)! Jonathan is a complete sweetheart. Apart from being completely gorgeous he is so caring and thoughtful and I’m very happy. On my way to work this morning we met up with a Beautiful person Lydia. It is so lovely to see the response I get and with perfect fans like that it keeps me smiling!

Clients were very interested in the “Mel and Jonathan” situation. Still very embarrassed. It was lovely to talk openly about it rather than not knowing what to say! John (my daddy) is a complete little bugger but I love him even with the exceptionally big mouth! He he!

Missed my best mate today – Sabrina. Can’t wait to see her tomorrow.

Went for a drink in a gay bar tonight with John and Jonathan. I’m sure he put vodka in my drink or I’m just really tired. Had a wicked weekend. Got taken out for my 1st ever meal by a guy! Made up! Dead nervous though but in a good way!

The Ricardo situation today was a bit dodgy. We had a meeting at the end of the day which seemed to drag but Paul and Ricardo seemed to have a lot to say. Paul always in the calm one, Ricardo put his point across but was very defensive. Be interesting to see what happens.

Oh yeah and my Employee of the Week pressie was excellent make-up to make me pretty – ahh! x


Thursday 20 March

Slow but wicked day. Had loads of fun with John again! Sonja had to come in even though she rang in sick because we were having a photo shoot with Anthony Mascolo! Carina modelled and looked absolutely stunning! We had individual ones done as well. I loved it but did feel stupid.

Got teased today again about Jonathan. I really don’t want to look stupid but I really do think he is gorgeous and hopefully he likes me – could I be so lucky! Going out tonight with John, Sab, Suzanne, AJ and maybe Jonathan (fingers crossed). Should be a giggle! Glitzy!

Had a very quick meeting at the end of the day about Ricardo and his suspension. I’m in shock! Paul also said we had only 4 weeks left and that everybody should enjoy it as we are all talented and everyone is having a laugh – ahh, wicked!

Sorry about my last diary entry. Hard day but needed to get stuff out of my system. Feeling lush and ready for anything! Goodnight!


Wednesday 19 March

Crazy day. I felt very low this morning. My day seemed to look like a struggle and I did feel on my own a bit but with only Vas in, it seemed a nightmare but I think I was the only one that suffered.

Had a cool client in who I did pink. I hate using crazy colours but it looked the business.

Spent most of my time with John today and he is a right little cupid. I am totally convinced Jonathan doesn't like me in 'that' way and I'm scared it might turn out to be an Olly situation where I could be used just for TV purposes but I know Jonathan couldn't be like that and I must admit he is very sweet. Anyway, we'll see.

Really tired today. Sabrina met Sandra after work but I couldn't even hang round to see her. Heard that the Forum is ok with me at the moment but somebody said to 'wash my face'. I'm completely f****d off with those comments. I'd like to see them, there ain't nothing wrong with me and it's narrow-minded people like that who will never get what they want and lead a sad life.

So what if I ain't perfect. It p****s me off because nobody realises how it feels because that's really personal and I've lived with shitty comments for years, and now that I was just feeling that little more confident and someone brings it all back to millions of people's attention. Thanks. Love to meet you! I bet you're a beauty!

Sorry for being so crappy tonight but I do think it's my turn to 'crack' inside The Salon. Hopefully my 99% support comes on coz that means the world to me x

Tuesday 18 March

Wicked day! Spent heaps of time with John. Did wicked colours and learned loads more!

Power cut today, which was hilarious. Did a colour in the dark. Paul and Adee cut in my colour room and AJ stood with a lamp, which John tripped over!

Didn't eat lunch today - surprise, surprise!

Ricardo looked lush in his suit today. Carina showed me some modelling pictures - what a stunner! Spent some time with Vass today, trying to give him a little advice and be a mum or a big sis as he was feeling a little down and depressed - ahhh.

Had some pics today that we had to sign and send to fans. There's loads and it's the most minging picture ever! Oh well, what's new? Looking forward to more fun tomorrow.


Monday 17 March

My bro’s Birthday! Happy Birthday to you!

Had a wicked day! John in causing chaos – I love him! Had 1st Aid this morning - really good actually. I think I’d be able to handle a situation if I came across it. Nice one.

Didn’t have dinner till late today. Mind you it’s been like that for a while. I sooo have to stop eating crap. I will be a chubby bugger if I don’t stop picking all day.

Nearly had a heart attack with Sonja this morning. She put the wrong colour on someone. I nearly had kittens but it was cool! My Clients were lovely. Learning loads off John.

Had a surprise when I left work. My mate Emma was waiting for me so we ended up going for a few pints with Suzanne and Sonja (well I as drinking water and Suzanne was on the Guinness – yuck!)

It was a long day but a really good one. Everyone was chilled and giggly. I ain’t wearing trousers tomorrow though. Mini skirts make me look better – he he! Tuesday tomorrow - can’t wait to see what is in store! xxx


Sunday 16 March

Nice start to the week – ran ok and didn’t stress much! Had Employee of the Week – really chuffed though! Nice to see everyone. Had loads of laffs today. AJ the new Beauty trainee is a scream! Really, really chuffed John is gonna be full time! Can’t wait to see him tomorrow!

First Aid thing tomorrow so I’m wearing trousers if we’re gonna be bent in the Recovery Position – he he! So chuffed for Carina and Vass to be put in the running titles at last! Oh yeah – and Jonathan! Goodnight x


Thurs 13 March

Our red nose day! Busy challenging day, had some major colour jobs in.

Not feeling totally cool either after drinking one to many glasses of wine! Hell of a laugh last night, me and Sonja are true party girls. Guess I kinda let myself down when I drink, my shoes suddenly feel like I've stepped in soap and I can't get any sense out of my stupid mouth! Funny tho'.

Met loads of celebs - the big bro' guys, 3SL - one of them knew my name! Bangin' - Dane Bowers etc, it was excellent.

Today it was our red nose comp. We had to design our own red noses Paul gave us, it was a good idea and Sab definitely deserved to win. Her's was awesome!

Paul had his chest waxed and Adee had one eyebrow off. Didn't see it but heard the screams. Good on the boys, all for charity! Going home tonight, dead excited to see my mum and dad and bro and my mates.

Gonna have a chilled day Fri, then hit the town. I miss my fave club! Plus I'm dying to see my bedroom. Mum's bought me fluffy heart fairy lights and wrapped them around my bed and got pink fluffy cushions as well. I'm gonna feel like Barbie and I love it!

Five weeks left. Can't wait for Sunday and to hear everybody else's weekend stories plus Ricardo's Employee of the Week pressie. Goodnight x


Wednesday 12 March

Quiz tonight! Oh God! Paul has every faith in us – he he! Had a wicked morning with Vass and Sonja. Even Kev came out for a play (the hamster). Did some good stuff today, busy though.

Bit gutted I couldn’t see Ricardo in drag. I’ll have to watch the Sat night show.

Can’t write much tonight because we are busy being intelligent in a Celebrity Quiz – yeah go The Salon crew! Vass suggested I keep my mouth shut. Thank babe – am I that bad! x


Tuesday 11 March

Mad busy day - absolutely knackered. Had wicked Clients - really chatty, interesting and dead sweet. Really chuffed with some of my work today. Did a lady from the Navy and a lady called Fay. They were wicked to talk to.

Had a giggle with Vass and Sonja today. I was a bit worried how Sonja was doing. She was exhausted bless her. Vass helped me out loads today. He’s a top bloke but dead sweet as well. Jon doing amazing again today although he did have a bit of a set up towards the end of the day bless! He handled it really well. How can anyone shout at his adorable face?

Paul called me into the office tonight. Always scared when he does that but I couldn’t believe it when he gave me a pay rise. I was dead chuffed! Really appreciate it and I am glad he notices the work I do. This is the biggest achievement in my life! He’s a great inspiration to me.

Can’t wait for the quiz tomorrow. What shall I wear? My funky jeans I think. Can’t want to see my other John tomorrow night the cheeky git!

Had wicked mail tonight. More Lee stuff - someone had even made a heart with us both on! Ahh dream on Mel! A girl called Lydia also sent me stacks of little pics and a lovely letter so I rang her to say hello and she was dead pleased. I cant’ believe that she wants to meet me. It’s dead weird when people say they admire you and love you. You forget you’re being watched by millions. Gonna catch some zzzzzs so goodnight! xxx


Monday 10 March

Good day, nice Clients. Had a giggle. Receptionist Jon still doing wicked – Clients love him.

Did a few red ‘tags’ today. Really taken off – even got mine! Been so busy with colour that I hadn’t really noticed what was going on around me although Sonja’s always somewhere to be found for a mess around. Sab did a funky Comic Relief nail – talented girlie! I want one!

Heard more about the quiz me, Sonja, Sab, Vass and Suzanne are doing. Thank God it’s not general knowledge!

The flipping rabbit thing yesterday spun me out! Getting an early night so I’m twinkly eyed tomorrow, as my bags are getting bigger! He he! Love ya! x


Sunday 9 March

Nice start to the week, although I missed catching Sandra grinning at the desk and Olly passing through.

Great guy in for the Receptionist job. Weird to see a guy there, but nice anyway. Learned to do the red hair extensions today. Can't wait to do this.

Had a guy in that seemed to think I thought he was gay. Hope I didn't offend him. It must be my accent!

Had a prezzie this morning. Two girls waited outside and gave me a Lee poster. I'm sure I can cover my hotel room now!

Went for Sunday dinner with the girlies tonight. Well chuffed cos I hadn't had Yorksires for ages. Hopefully hooking up with my mate this week cos she's back and forth down to London for the next six weeks! Hopefully I can entertain her cos I'm part of London now and maybe I could give her a tour!

Weird seeing all those people trying for Olly's job. It didn't seem right.

Bradley was back in today. I was absolutely heart broken to see him after two weeks with hardly any hair. He is such a gorgeous boy that I pray he gets better. I was so touched to see Adee handing over his award from Beckham's hairstyle. He's such an angel!


Thursday 6 March

Horrible day! Sandra's been voted out. I felt really sorry for her and did have a good cry with Olly (off camera though!). Gonna miss them two. Gave them a good send off and had a wicked party. I must admit I was feeling a little tipsy after my first glass of champagne! Was a bit worse for wear the next day.

Glad John was in again. Still picking up tips off him. It's wicked colouring for him. Did a splash colour on Paul's client who was a Vicar! Can't believe it, I did a bleach on him! Coolest Vicar I've ever seen!

Hopefully next week goes OK. Stock is doing my head in at the moment. Everywhere seems to be short of the products I need. Hopefully I'll have a delivery on Sunday - fingers crossed!

Still getting letters and it makes me smile because afer all the slating I've heard, it's excellent to hear some people are positive and are behind me every step of the way! I rang a lovely girl called Lauren who I think maybe I scared when I spoke to her - what a sweetie. I love them all.

Six weeks to go. Let's see what I've got ahead of me...


Wednesday 5 March

Quiet day, chilled, easy going and a laugh. Poor Adee went home sick. Hope he gets better for tomorrow. John came in and we dyed his hair. He's so funny. Looking good though, I must say!

My favourite colour today was doing a Kelly Osbourne style (but not pink). Really chuffed with it. Had a wicked chat with a girl who worked over in Japan. Such a sweetie.

Morning was quiet. Me and Sab had a bit of a nightmare when our train stopped at Balham and the bloody doors didn't open and we ended up in Streatham and had to catch the train back! We weren't late though. Glad to see the guys at 3pm. Olly wasn't well. He better be back tomorrow for his last day! Apparently we all stop work at 5pm for food and drinks as whoever goes tomorrow needs a good send off. Plus, Desmond has got us on a few guest lists for an after party.

Dreading tomorrow morning. I'm betting a tenner that I cry, although I did hold it together when Olly told me. I'm meeting Carina in the morning to advise her on fake tan and to buy a goodbye present for my lovely Olly!

Carina had a mail tonight off a modelling agency and got offered to star with Gwen Stafani and Kelly Osbourne. I'm so, so chuffed for her. If I looked like that I'd go for it! She deserves it.

Ricardo put on a beauty uniform today and pretended to be Suzanne. I think I wet myself! you gotta see him do the accent!

Hope tomorrow won't be too upsetting as I can be very emotional so I'm gonna keep my chin up and enjoy what could have been the last day for everyone. The last 8 weeks has been the bext experience of my life; new friendships, new confidence, independance and a new outlook on life. Whoever goes today, they'll be little stars in my eyes. Goodluck guys - love ya!


Tuesday 4 March

Sonja’s back! Sooo nice to see her. She brought me back to my cheeky self!

Did some good colours today although I was so chuffed because I got out of colouring Marilyn’s hair (only because he was like 2 hours late). What a scary person – I’m sure he was p*****!

Took a guy silver blonde today. Hell of a job and a bit scared doing it because he had to keep it on for ages! Bless him.

Missed John today. Can’t believe it is Wed tomorrow – only 2 days left with Olly and whoever else goes. Not going to let it bother me though. Keep smiling.

Going for food with Sab tonight. Not much else to say. Been a busy long day so I’ve forgotten what happened! Oh yeah, I pulled the bloody door off the cupboard. I thought Paul was going to kill me! Dead funny though! Poor Corina got fed up with washing dishes today. She’s a star! Her and Vass are wicked.

Really pleased Sandra was smiling today. She’s really worried but she does such a wicked job she doesn’t deserve to be slated the way she has been. I’ll just keep giving cuddles and everything will be fine! He he! xxx


Monday 3 March

Still a sad day but again John was there to make me giggle! He got me a phone number anyway!

Can’t believe Ricardo and Suzanne are up as well. Can’t wait to see Sonja again.

Had some letters off people in my locker tonight. I’m glad I’m a role model! My last Client gave me a new charm bracelet which will be very popular soon. She was a wicked laugh. Nice to end the day like that.

Went for a few drinks with John, Sab and Carina. It really ended a sad day on a high. I think we needed that...well needed a bottle of Archers anyway! Definitely an early one tonight because John did only say one drink! We ended up staying in this bar till about 10. The barman was gorgeous – looked like Lee – probably gay! God there’s something wrong with me! Goodnight x.


Sunday 2 March

Crap day, nice Clients but atmosphere was crap! Even though I got told I was staying I couldn’t be happy for myself because I was worried about people going. Olly told me he had been terminated. I was totally devastated. I couldn’t think of anything to say and didn’t think I could even cuddle him because that would probably have been blown out of proportion. Sandra was next! Completely gutted. I never wanted it to be like this.

Even though all this was going on I did a colour for Adee’s Client – a 17 year old who has cancer. I would never have known what to say if it wasn’t for Adee. I felt for him but you just try to be normal, but it’s upsetting. I hadn’t long done his brother’s hair and to quote Adee, you always think shitty stuff is happening to you but you realise everyone else has problems. John kept me going today. Glad he’s working tomorrow.

I’m chuffed for Sab getting Employee of the Week – yay go Sab! Had a great weekend with her – another big sis.
