Jamie Stevens, art director at Errol Douglas, London recently gave Britain's favourite makeover guru a makeover all of his own.

Gok Wan came into the Errol Douglas salon for a complete re-style and is now sporting a short-sided, longer on top look fit for a fashionista.

"Gok saw one of the images I'd done for a men's shoot and loved it," says Jamie. I took his extensions out and gave him a restyle previously, and he was ready for a complete new look for the new season this time round.

"We went for the short, hard military look - partings are changing to be harder and more regimented and have been big on the catwalks.

This is a great men's style for autumn through winter 2008."

If they're not showing a little more flesh than we need to see, there's too much bling or another fashion faux pas raising eyebrows.

And as for the hair... well there are more hair extensions than in the family enclosure at an England match!

We asked a few leading hairdressers to cast their eye over some of the housemates who have managed to survive the celebrity status test of time; and it's fair to say there weren't to many complimentary comments going round.

Fortunately, they did have plenty of suggestions for how their hair styles could be improved, so if you're listening Chantelle and Co...

But what do you think? Does Davina deserve our dressing down? Does Agy's icy blonde leave you cold? Tell us your views at My HJi!

	Hot stuff...
	Lily Allen This paparazzi shot of Lily on the blower might not be her best picture, but we're so pleased to see she's ditched the pink phase and returned to her glossy, gorgeous deep brunette shade.
	Lauren Laverne TV presenter Lauren is becoming something of a regular on the glossies' best-dressed pages lately, and we think her hair is looking hot too. This dishevelled blonde style is perfect for rock-chick glam.
	Agyness Deyn It seems Agy can do no wrong when it comes to style - especially when it comes to her signature blonde locks. Despite her questionable 80s-tribute outfit, her colour shone onstage at the T4 On the Beach festival last week.
	Davina McCall There's something about Davina's enormous quiff here that reminds us of a certain Cameron Diaz movie character... Probably not the look the presenter was hoping to evoke at a recent BB eviction.
	Kathreya Kasisopa She seems very sweet, but there's nothing cute about Big Brother 9 contestant Kathreya's hair. If she wins, mark our words: Heat magazine will give this lady a major makeover, starting from the top - literally!
	Madonna We love Madge but she's been languishing at the chilly end of the Hair-o-Meter for a while now and with this frizzy fright-wig it's easy to see why. Sack the stylist, Mrs Ritchie.
	...Freezing

With signature features of sharp, on-trend disconnected bobs offset by softened interiors and long disconnected cuts with visor inspired fringes the NEO Collection has a strong commercial feel, which proved a massive hit with the 300-strong audience.

The collection was enhanced by an array of dramatic colours including bold coppers, inky blacks, cinnamon and icy blonde shades that showcased Revlon Professional's conditioning colours and offered ideas that could easily be translated to the salon. 

The inspirational night concluded with a fast paced Grand Finale, with the Ramsay and Johnson team presenting dramatically masked models with oversized wigs giving a quirky ending to a superb event.

British Hairdressing Business Awards 2007

Celebrating 60 years of Goldwell and KMS California's Hollywood Glamour campaign, it really was glamour all the way from the champagne that was sipped, to the luxurious canapés and the hairdressing stars' hair masterclass.

On the stage, the Goldwell Ambassadors produced looks relating to the current Trend Zoom trends for 2008 from Goldwell, choosing from Newstalgia (1920's inspired) and Rockmantic (Rock-chic inspired). While the KMS Art Team focused on the Hollywood Glamour theme from the current KMS campaign.

Over 350 hairdressing industry guests attended a champagne reception and black-tie dinner with 10 salons showcasing their Artistic Collections.  The Collections were varied, vibrant and reflected the extremely high standards and hard work the Artistic Teams had put in ending in tumultuous applause!!

The evening also featured a raffle with fanastic prizes includeing a 200 pound TopShop Voucher donated by Adee Phelan Salon and an iPod donated by Racoon with all proceeds raised going to HABB.

As well as a spectacular evening, the event managed to raise an impressive 1160 pounds for HABB. 

A spokesperson for J & E Training said: "There are several reasons we support HABB, primarily to raise young people's awareness that we are all part of a FANTASTIC industry - so fantastic it has a charity dedicated to looking after hairdressers and their families that have fallen on bad times.

"With this in mind it helps to cultivate a sense of community and belonging in our young apprentices."

A brilliant new idea designed to maximise their teams' skill sets;  Chris and Anne decided that it would be a valuable experience for them to do a role swap.

Chris attended Anne's Oxford salon to teach the team a number of his leading grooming skills, while Anne in turn showed Chris some of the latest trends hitting her salon.

Chris said "I think the day went really well. We had a great session and learned loads from each other. Life is for learning."

Tequila received the award from industry icon Patrick Cameron and habia CEO Alan Goldsbro at a glitzy awards ceremony held at L'Oréal Studios, London having beaten off 26 other entrants from the Young Apprenticeship Partnerships.

The event featured inspirational hair shows from the Habia Hairdressing Skills Team's Emma Moore and Mark Izzard, as well as Patrick Cameron, who also took part in the judging process.

Patrick spoke of the success of the Young Apprenticeship programme which is designed to give bright and motivated 14-16 year olds the chance to learn about the industries they are interested in, gain work experience and develop vocational skills on top of their GCSEs.

He said: "I have been wowed yet again by the standard of entry to this competition from individuals who are just 14 to 15 years old.

"It is fantastic that they have been able to realise they possess such potential in this field through this competition and the Young Apprenticeship programme."

The competition, supported by L 'Oréal Professionnel and Wahl, allows Young Apprentices to demonstrate their new hairdressing skills by submitting images of their finished long hair look on a head block, along with a mood board and statement describing the look they have created and their inspiration.

Winner Tequila said: "I was really excited and pleased to win the award, I didn't think I would win as the competition was so fierce.  It was a fantastic night and everyone was really proud. It was great to go to the L'Oréal Studio and dress up.

The chance to see the stylists and Patrick Cameron and to help him on stage is something I will always remember."

"I enjoy learning about styling hair and working in a real salon. I like being out of school doing something I love. In the future I want to work for Patrick Cameron or as a top stylist. I would like to do the hair of musicians, especially rap artists, and meet Nelly who inspired my mood board."

The two joint runners up, Frances Parkinson of Weston College and Kelley Lawrie of Rochdale Partnership, will also appear on the stage at Salon International.

The event was held at the plush Dumner Golf Club in Dumner Village, Hampshire and was deemed to be a resounding success with guests from Wella, L'Oreal and TONI&GUY CEO and Co-Founder, Toni Mascolo all in attendance.

On the day there was a raffle and auction which raised further funds for this worthy cause and a delicious lunch for all to enjoy.

Roger Woodward said, "The event wasn't just an opportunity to enjoy a game of golf, it raised much needed funds for the TONI&GUY Charitable Foundation.

"It is undoubtedly one of my summer highlights and I look forward to repeating its success in 2009!"

Nominated for Best Product, BaByliss PRO's newest curling innovation, the DoubleCurl saw off stiff competition to scoop the award, while www.babylisspro.co.uk also came out on top in the Best Website category. 

Rob Sidebotham, Professional Division Manager says: "It was the best feeling ever bringing home both of these esteemed awards and I couldn't be prouder of the team behind both.

"So much work went into the creation of the DoubleCurl and the BaByliss PRO website requires a great deal of time and effort from the BaByliss PRO team to ensure it is current and of genuine use and interest to our visitors.

"Winning this award shows we are getting it right and providing information, but also inspiration to an industry hungry for both."

Here the team showcased three models each to an attentive audience. Audience participation was a big part of the show, with lots of questions being asked of Alain and Chris on how to create the models' looks.

NHF Inspire Art Team Director Wendy Cummins took to the mic to talk about the teams' past and to explain their re-birth as NHF Inspire along with the teams' hopes and aspirations for the coming year and future.

Mark Coray who organised the event said the Masterclass was "Energising, motivational and fast moving. The team clearly bounced well off of each other and provided a very inspiring show!"

Wendy Cummins added: "The Masterclass was a brilliant opportunity for NHF Inspire to demonstrate their creative skills to an engaging audience. 

"NHF Inspire has a new direction for 2008 and this event allowed the stylists to share our focus for the forthcoming year."

Errol, UK Ambassador for Matrix Biolage, was over as part of an education drive and put on a Matrix seminar as well as his show for the prestigious gala dinner.

Attended by 1800 of the country's hairdressing elite, the fantastic presentation was themed around 'Defiance' and featured strong styles and avant garde work.

While in Australia, Errol was interviewed for the likes of Marie Claire, Elle, The Telegraph and more, and his shoots included the fabulous editorial for Culture magazine.

Errol said: "The gala dinner was a real thrill to do - what a highlight to present to all the top Australian industry leaders and hairdressers.

"I produced some very conflicting textures and haircuts for the seminar and with an hour and a half to present eight models was able to take my time, break down the looks and make the styles and techniques really accessible."
