Hairdressing is a glamorous industry...

0:00:020:00:05

Unless you're bleeding from every orifice, you can't be off sick.

0:00:050:00:09

..but it's also a competitive one,

0:00:090:00:10

with more than 10,000 hairdressers in Scotland,

0:00:100:00:13

where the top stylists can earn over £70,000 a year.

0:00:130:00:17

Award-winning hairdressers Rainbow Room International

0:00:180:00:21

run Scotland's biggest training academy...

0:00:210:00:24

I have sent them home for having bad fake tan

0:00:240:00:26

or when their make-up is not done properly.

0:00:260:00:28

I went for more of a natural kinda look.

0:00:280:00:31

..where they play just as hard as they work.

0:00:310:00:33

It's like a big dysfunctional family.

0:00:330:00:35

That's exactly what it's like.

0:00:350:00:37

For one year, we follow students

0:00:380:00:40

through their basic hairdressing qualification Level 2...

0:00:400:00:43

I can do that, you know what I mean?

0:00:430:00:45

And I just get nervous on the day.

0:00:450:00:47

..and others in their second year Level 3 advanced qualification.

0:00:470:00:51

My ambition is to be one of the best.

0:00:510:00:54

You've got to be on it. Like, see if you're not on it one day,

0:00:540:00:57

-honestly you're screwed, you're literally screwed.

-Yeah.

0:00:570:00:59

But do they have what it takes to make it through the Hair Academy?

0:00:590:01:04

You're probably a better hairdresser than...

0:01:050:01:08

-Everybody.

-Aye(!)

0:01:080:01:09

Coming up.

0:01:290:01:31

The assistants are under pressure to host their own catwalk show...

0:01:310:01:34

I'm a little stressed out right now.

0:01:340:01:36

We'll see what happens. Hopefully, I don't die.

0:01:360:01:39

..stylist Sarah Jane ties the knot...

0:01:390:01:42

Och, I'm just dead excited, I just cannae wait.

0:01:420:01:44

..and our Level 2 students find out if they're being kept on.

0:01:440:01:47

We have to be very clear that we're getting the right person through.

0:01:470:01:51

Our Level 2 assistants are coming towards the end of their first year

0:01:590:02:02

at the Rainbow Rooms. It's an important stage in their training.

0:02:020:02:06

Control that enthusiasm coming through there!

0:02:060:02:08

Angel's friend Eilidh has come in to the academy for a funky haircut

0:02:110:02:15

after recently shaving part of her hair off.

0:02:150:02:18

I can't believe that. I would be freaked out if that was me.

0:02:180:02:22

Angel is being assessed on a short graduation

0:02:220:02:24

and clipper over-comb cut by teacher Sarah Jane.

0:02:240:02:28

I think we should take it a lot more funkier.

0:02:280:02:30

Cos it's so heavy through the back. Ha-ha.

0:02:300:02:32

And, although not part of the assessment,

0:02:320:02:35

before Angel cuts the hair, she will be colouring it blonde.

0:02:350:02:38

Something completely different.

0:02:390:02:41

I can't believe I'm making you go blonde.

0:02:450:02:48

In my defence, your skin colour

0:02:480:02:50

and your eye colour is telling you to go blonde.

0:02:500:02:52

-How's your head feeling? Heavy?

-Yeah.

0:02:520:02:55

No going back now!

0:02:580:02:59

But the bleach hasn't fully worked,

0:03:010:03:03

so the plan has changed for Angel's client.

0:03:030:03:06

It'd just be more fun to add different colours in it

0:03:070:03:10

and make it quite mad that way. Quite exciting, innit?

0:03:100:03:13

-OK, follow me.

-Good, well done.

0:03:130:03:16

And with their Rainbow Room career at stake,

0:03:180:03:20

the pressure is on for all of the Level 2 students.

0:03:200:03:23

I would be really, really ecstatic to be kept on in the Rainbow Room,

0:03:240:03:28

it's like a really big deal to me.

0:03:280:03:31

I'd be dead grateful to get kept on for my Level 3.

0:03:310:03:34

Once you've worked that hard to get through one level,

0:03:340:03:37

it's just natural to want to go on and complete the whole thing.

0:03:370:03:40

It's not me that makes the decision

0:03:430:03:45

as to whether they're going to get kept on or not.

0:03:450:03:47

The directors will find out from us how their training has gone.

0:03:470:03:50

It's purely down to their own effort that they've put into it.

0:03:500:03:54

I've still got a few colours to do,

0:03:550:03:57

work my way through the cuts.

0:03:570:03:58

It's fine, I'm enjoying it.

0:03:580:04:01

Some bits I have been quite struggling

0:04:010:04:03

and then other bits have been quite easy.

0:04:030:04:05

Styling and setting, that's been quite hard so I'm just kinda, like,

0:04:050:04:09

working with them a bit more and then eventually get them passed off.

0:04:090:04:12

It's not just about passing off everything,

0:04:130:04:17

it's about experience and the more heads of hair you can get through

0:04:170:04:20

at the end of your qualification,

0:04:200:04:22

you'll be a better hairdresser for it.

0:04:220:04:24

On the salon floor,

0:04:260:04:27

Angel has decided on some new colours for Eilidh's hair.

0:04:270:04:31

So you want copper here and then red and copper through the ends.

0:04:310:04:34

OK, I can do that, I'll mix it up.

0:04:340:04:36

I'm very excited to see Angel.

0:04:410:04:43

I'm freaking out, I'm telling you.

0:04:430:04:45

-You're freaking out, Is that a good thing?

-So hold the hair here.

0:04:450:04:49

With the colour all done,

0:04:490:04:50

it's just a matter of the finishing touches

0:04:500:04:52

to the short graduation haircut.

0:04:520:04:54

So this was your short graduation and then you over combed.

0:04:570:05:00

-That was scissor over comb.

-And clipper over comb.

0:05:000:05:02

Yeah, and clipper over comb, yeah.

0:05:020:05:05

-Yeah, on the top it was more just, like, different.

-Mm-hm.

0:05:050:05:08

So after finishing the haircut,

0:05:100:05:12

it's time for Angel to find out

0:05:120:05:14

if her short graduation assessment has been passed off.

0:05:140:05:17

A really good transformation.

0:05:180:05:20

And the client seems really pleased with it as well. Well done.

0:05:200:05:23

Much more confidence in you now doing haircuts.

0:05:230:05:25

-Pleased to tell you your assessment's been passed.

-Thanks.

0:05:250:05:28

Keep up the good work and all that.

0:05:280:05:30

I was nervous to start with

0:05:320:05:34

because, obviously, the client's hair was a wee bit longer

0:05:340:05:36

and then going dead short, so you just need to overcome that

0:05:360:05:40

and not, like, show you're nervous or anything like that.

0:05:400:05:42

But, no, I'm really, really pleased with my results.

0:05:420:05:45

She's developed and come on so far throughout the year,

0:05:450:05:49

it's been a joy to see.

0:05:490:05:50

She's always been a big personality

0:05:500:05:52

and now her skills kinda match her personality.

0:05:520:05:54

Well, it's good.

0:05:560:05:57

For the assistants in the Great Western Road salon,

0:06:000:06:03

there's some welcome relief from their training

0:06:030:06:06

as John is taking them for their annual awayday.

0:06:060:06:08

This year, they're going white water rafting.

0:06:080:06:12

16 hairdressers going down the Tay in a boat with wet suits on,

0:06:120:06:15

so it should be good fun.

0:06:150:06:16

Anybody else need some waterproof mascara?

0:06:170:06:21

I brought some talcum powder as well. That'll help you get in a wet suit.

0:06:210:06:25

-You ready?

-Go!

0:06:250:06:26

The stretch of river is six miles long

0:06:340:06:36

and the second half is when the rapids begin

0:06:360:06:38

and we save the biggest and best till the last, sound cool?

0:06:380:06:42

Wicked.

0:06:420:06:44

I love it. I'm going to wear this wetsuit on a night out

0:06:460:06:49

-under my dress, it kind of sucks you in.

-Like Spanx?

-A wee bit.

0:06:490:06:52

Get right in...

0:06:540:06:56

SCREAMING

0:06:560:06:58

Lean back together and dip the top of the helmet in the river.

0:07:080:07:12

I'm not letting you fall in.

0:07:120:07:13

Ah, Mammy!

0:07:160:07:17

Two hours down the river

0:07:360:07:37

and we're just one big unit,

0:07:370:07:39

all the blades were going perfectly in the water,

0:07:390:07:41

like Vikings! Perfect!

0:07:410:07:45

Soaking wet, we had a great laugh.

0:07:450:07:46

Academy teacher and stylist Sarah Jane

0:07:520:07:55

is busy preparing for her wedding to army sergeant Jamie.

0:07:550:07:59

-Sparkle, sparkle!

-Yeah, they're lovely though.

0:07:590:08:02

Preparations began at Christmas

0:08:020:08:03

when he hid the engagement ring in a cracker.

0:08:030:08:06

I thought it was a bit cowardly putting it in a cracker, but...

0:08:060:08:09

No, it was lovely.

0:08:090:08:11

I kinda went through that moment in my head millions of times,

0:08:110:08:14

but it was perfect how you did it.

0:08:140:08:16

Yeah. And then I just cried for like 20 minutes.

0:08:160:08:19

I looked like Alice Cooper!

0:08:210:08:22

And with most of the preparations taken care of...

0:08:240:08:27

Hello there, guys, how are you?

0:08:270:08:29

..it's just a small matter of choosing their wedding rings.

0:08:290:08:33

It's exciting. But I definitely like that. I like the simplicity of it.

0:08:330:08:38

-How does that feel?

-Weird!

-Guys and girls are so different, aren't they?

0:08:380:08:44

-I'm comfortable with mine.

-Thankfully, yeah.

0:08:440:08:47

-Do you think that's the one?

-I think it might be.

0:08:470:08:51

Oh, I don't want to take it off!

0:08:510:08:53

But despite the excitement, fiance Jamie will be deploying

0:08:570:09:00

to Afghanistan for one more tour before their marriage.

0:09:000:09:04

When he's away, I think it hits me mostly

0:09:040:09:07

about two weeks after he's gone and that's when I cannae phone him,

0:09:070:09:11

I cannae pick up the phone.

0:09:110:09:12

If I've had a good day or a bad day, I cannae share it wi' him.

0:09:120:09:15

I'm fortunate enough that I've got loads of friends,

0:09:150:09:17

loads of family to help get me through it.

0:09:170:09:20

Salon director Will looks after

0:09:280:09:30

both the Stirling and Buchanan Street salons

0:09:300:09:32

and has brought assistants Angel and Alijah in to tell them

0:09:320:09:35

if they've passed their first year of formal training.

0:09:350:09:39

We have to be very, very clear

0:09:390:09:41

that we're getting the right person through. So with you two guys,

0:09:410:09:46

we've talked about you, we've talked about you and, unfortunately,

0:09:460:09:49

we've decided that...

0:09:490:09:51

..you two are definitely people

0:09:530:09:55

we would like to progress through to your second year.

0:09:550:09:58

I was actually...

0:09:580:10:00

..going to be let go.

0:10:000:10:01

-That was cruelty.

-Congratulations.

0:10:040:10:06

Really good, well done for making it through to your Level 3.

0:10:060:10:09

This is it, you're into the big time now.

0:10:090:10:12

-How do you feel?

-I feel nervous, good...

-Excited?

-Yeah!

0:10:120:10:16

-Excited?

-Yeah!

0:10:160:10:18

Give me a high-five.

0:10:180:10:19

Let's get it on, we can do this today.

0:10:190:10:22

That was actually sore!

0:10:260:10:28

I'm getting on quite well.

0:10:290:10:30

I've just finished Level 2 so I'm really happy about that.

0:10:300:10:34

Now I'm moving onto harder things to do, like, colours and cut wise,

0:10:340:10:37

so I'm quite excited.

0:10:370:10:39

I passed my Level 2 so that's really good.

0:10:390:10:41

But I've been doing it ever since I was 14, 15, 16, 17

0:10:410:10:45

so, when you're 17, it's good to finally get a qualification of it

0:10:450:10:48

and be like, "Yes. I can do..." Do you know what I mean?

0:10:480:10:51

So officially Level 2 hairdresser, yeah.

0:10:510:10:55

So I'm pure happy about that.

0:10:550:10:57

..I'm happy about that.

0:11:010:11:02

Having started at the academy three months after Angel and Alijah,

0:11:040:11:08

Austin and his class still have a few cuts to pass off

0:11:080:11:10

before finishing their first year at the academy.

0:11:100:11:13

Good morning, everybody. What I want you to do today

0:11:130:11:15

is have a wee look through your folders, write up about models

0:11:150:11:18

you've got in and what yous are going to pass off today.

0:11:180:11:21

To help him practise a cut and style dry,

0:11:220:11:24

Austin's friend Hayley has come up to the academy to model for him.

0:11:240:11:28

So about an inch off and no more?

0:11:280:11:30

Maybe we should just cut it all off.

0:11:300:11:32

-Just go for a bald and start again?

-Aye.

0:11:320:11:35

All right, Austin.

0:11:380:11:40

Why do you have to keep it as wet the whole way through?

0:11:400:11:43

Cos if it's not all the same as what it was to start, it springs up.

0:11:430:11:46

With the style dry done, teacher Tara has a quick look.

0:11:510:11:54

-So is it what you hoped?

-More. When are you next free?

0:11:560:12:01

-Aw, that's nice.

-You've done well.

0:12:010:12:03

You know what I feel? I feel a bit like Rod Stewart. I'm kidding.

0:12:060:12:10

I've got not too much left to do -

0:12:190:12:22

a couple of colours and some styling and setting and then that'll be me.

0:12:220:12:25

When I've finished, like, my Level 2, I think that will be like

0:12:250:12:29

one of the highlights and achievements, so, waiting for that.

0:12:290:12:32

With Jamie back safely from Afghanistan,

0:12:360:12:38

the big day has finally arrived for Sarah Jane,

0:12:380:12:41

but so far, she's taking it all in her stride.

0:12:410:12:44

I might fall asleep, I'm that relaxed.

0:12:450:12:48

Och, I'm just dead excited.

0:12:480:12:49

I cannae wait to see all my planning and preparation just unfold.

0:12:490:12:54

Aye, just really excited, dead chilled out.

0:12:540:12:56

I've had a lovely wee morning.

0:12:560:12:58

And the responsibility for doing Sarah Jane's hair on the day

0:12:580:13:01

has fallen to fellow stylist Tiffany.

0:13:010:13:04

There will be a lot of hairdressers at the wedding

0:13:040:13:06

so that will be a little bit of pressure.

0:13:060:13:09

Sarah Jane told me last night that she wanted her hair down

0:13:110:13:14

and all we'd been doing is trials for having it up

0:13:140:13:16

so that's a little bit of pressure

0:13:160:13:18

cos I don't know exactly how or what we're doing.

0:13:180:13:21

We're just winging it the day, going with the flow.

0:13:210:13:24

-It'll be good, no matter what.

-Aye.

0:13:240:13:26

And looking after Jamie's hair, is Sarah Jane's boss John.

0:13:260:13:30

Only thing is, does that still look like him?

0:13:310:13:34

No point in changing it so he looks like someone else. Yeah? OK.

0:13:340:13:37

Thanks very much.

0:13:370:13:39

CELEBRANT: Good afternoon, everyone.

0:13:490:13:51

MUSIC DROWNS OUT SPEECH

0:13:540:13:55

I solemnly and sincerely declare...

0:14:020:14:04

..and sincerely declare...

0:14:040:14:06

-..that I Jamie...

-..that I Sarah Jane...

0:14:060:14:09

-..accept you, Sarah Jane...

-..accept you, Jamie...

0:14:090:14:12

..as my lawful wedded wife.

0:14:120:14:14

..as my lawful wedded husband.

0:14:160:14:18

It is my very pleasant duty to pronounce you husband and wife.

0:14:210:14:25

I've had the best day ever.

0:14:460:14:47

I just can't wait to get on with it

0:14:470:14:48

and have a party with my new husband!

0:14:480:14:50

At the academy, the 12 salon directors have come together

0:15:060:15:10

to discuss the forthcoming Assistants' Show.

0:15:100:15:12

The Assistants' Show is a chance for every single assistant

0:15:140:15:18

in this company to be able to show their parents and family and friends

0:15:180:15:23

exactly what it is that they do.

0:15:230:15:25

Alan and his team still have to decide

0:15:250:15:28

on what format this year's show will take.

0:15:280:15:30

Would it not be a good idea just for each salon to identify

0:15:300:15:34

with a fashion and you do it like a runway show?

0:15:340:15:38

If you've got five assistants that want to do five models,

0:15:380:15:41

then it's up to them to style in whatever fashion you want to do.

0:15:410:15:46

I think it's more important

0:15:460:15:48

to actually have each salon identified individually.

0:15:480:15:51

So why not... You've got two or three minutes of change

0:15:510:15:55

and, as you said, like a runway and bang.

0:15:550:15:58

It's not a competition, but it is really competitive

0:16:000:16:03

and that's just the nature of hairdressing.

0:16:030:16:07

There are no rules in it, but most people really want to be artistic

0:16:070:16:11

and show off their talents and the skills they've learnt

0:16:110:16:14

in the short time that they've been with us.

0:16:140:16:16

Each salon has chosen a different theme

0:16:160:16:18

for the models' hair and make-up.

0:16:180:16:20

At the Uddingston salon, they've been inspired by the circus

0:16:200:16:23

and are trying out some ideas ahead of the Assistants' Show.

0:16:230:16:26

On the scalp, I'm going to have pleats and then I'm going to get

0:16:270:16:30

some padding and it's going to have this big, long ponytail.

0:16:300:16:33

I'm thinking about covering all this with blue and green here

0:16:330:16:37

and then making some flowers and having them coming out of the top.

0:16:370:16:42

This is ambitious, but it's fun because a lot of it is just padding

0:16:420:16:45

and things like that, so it's more visual work than technical work.

0:16:450:16:49

It's very, very important for us to put on a really good show,

0:16:490:16:52

we want our guys to, you know,

0:16:520:16:55

go out there and look great and do their best and have a lot of fun,

0:16:550:16:58

so it's exciting.

0:16:580:16:59

Level 3 assistant Lesley

0:17:100:17:12

is based in the George Square salon run by Dylan.

0:17:120:17:16

Lesley is a great girl, do you know that?

0:17:160:17:18

I mean, she's got a very charismatic personality, she's very bubbly,

0:17:180:17:21

she's always smiley, she's very creative

0:17:210:17:24

and she's got all the aspects of what could potentially go on

0:17:240:17:29

and make a good hairdresser.

0:17:290:17:30

And when it comes to hair styling,

0:17:300:17:33

Lesley has a unique way of remembering

0:17:330:17:35

the left side of the head from the right.

0:17:350:17:37

So I used to remember that you set the table and you always put

0:17:370:17:41

the fork on the left and the fork's the loser and it's on the left,

0:17:410:17:45

so, like, if your fork and your knife were to have a fight,

0:17:450:17:49

your fork would lose.

0:17:490:17:51

Naw, I just do that... >

0:17:510:17:53

That's an L and that's not, so, like, left and not left.

0:17:540:17:58

I was on a roundabout and he went go right and I went left.

0:17:580:18:01

-Why is that funny?

-You're so ridiculous!

0:18:010:18:04

Having come to the end of her second year of training,

0:18:060:18:09

Lesley has just been told she'll be getting kept on

0:18:090:18:11

as a stylist in the George Square salon.

0:18:110:18:14

In a way, I'm proud of myself for working so hard and getting it.

0:18:140:18:17

Having worked with Jasmine and Dylan for so long,

0:18:170:18:19

you feel like you owe it to them

0:18:190:18:21

to do well in your next step and what you're doing.

0:18:210:18:25

When she first started at the Rainbow Room,

0:18:260:18:28

Lesley would commute daily back and forth to her hometown of Dunoon,

0:18:280:18:31

before taking the decision to move to Glasgow full-time.

0:18:310:18:35

Coming up to Glasgow has been a great thing for her

0:18:350:18:38

and you can see the change in her in the last couple of years

0:18:380:18:42

and she's became far more the SJP from Dunoon.

0:18:420:18:46

Since moving to Glasgow,

0:18:460:18:50

Lesley has lived in a city centre flat along with seven other girls.

0:18:500:18:53

Tonight, it's one of her flatmates 21st birthdays

0:18:530:18:56

and, as usual, Lesley is doing all the hair.

0:18:560:18:58

Like, all the nurses in the ward are,

0:18:580:19:00

"I love your hair." And I'm like, "Yeah, my flatmate's a hairdresser!"

0:19:000:19:04

They all want her to do their hair.

0:19:040:19:07

She does my sister's hair, and she does Beth's mum and sister's hair

0:19:070:19:11

and Beth's sister wants her to do her wedding hair.

0:19:110:19:14

It is really handy to know people in good places.

0:19:140:19:17

With all the hair done, Lesley can finally join the party downstairs.

0:19:190:19:23

Hi! How are you? Oh, my God, you're soaking!

0:19:230:19:27

ALL: # Happy Birthday to you! # Hip hip hooray!

0:19:300:19:33

The party's going really well.

0:19:420:19:43

Everyone seems to be having a good time, the birthday girl seems happy.

0:19:430:19:47

It always ends up pretty messy with these guys,

0:19:470:19:49

so it'll be good to see what the rest of the night holds

0:19:490:19:51

and, hopefully, there won't be too many sore heads in the morning.

0:19:510:19:54

After working hard for the last year,

0:20:030:20:05

it's time for our six remaining Level 2 students to find out

0:20:050:20:08

if they're going to be kept on for their second year of training.

0:20:080:20:11

This is you coming to the very end of your first year of apprenticeship

0:20:110:20:15

and I've been really impressed with how far all of you have come on.

0:20:150:20:20

There was seven of this group when we started and Roisin left.

0:20:200:20:24

It is tough and I think you've probably realised

0:20:250:20:27

that it was a little bit harder doing your first year apprenticeship

0:20:270:20:31

than you thought it was going to be.

0:20:310:20:33

So it's the moment of truth for our young assistants.

0:20:330:20:36

The six of you have made it.

0:20:360:20:38

Congratulations, well done.

0:20:400:20:42

See you for the next year to do your Level 3.

0:20:420:20:44

It was a surprise but it was really good to know

0:20:470:20:49

that she's going to keep you on.

0:20:490:20:50

I feel brilliant that I'm getting kept on.

0:20:500:20:53

Not everybody gets kept on so I'm glad that I'm getting to do it.

0:20:530:20:57

Moving up to the next level, I feel a bit scared.

0:20:570:21:00

I feel a wee bit nervous because it's a bit more of a challenge

0:21:000:21:03

but I kinda like more of a challenge.

0:21:030:21:06

I feel great about being kept on. It's a good feeling.

0:21:060:21:10

I'm so excited, I can't wait, I think it will be so good,

0:21:100:21:13

loads of new things to learn and make yourself a better hairdresser.

0:21:130:21:17

It's show time for the young students as they get the opportunity

0:21:240:21:28

to flaunt their creative skills at the Assistants' Show.

0:21:280:21:31

Angel and the other Stirling students

0:21:340:21:36

have come to Buchanan Street to prepare the models.

0:21:360:21:40

The theme we're doing is metallic

0:21:400:21:41

so, basically, like, we had to spray paint the kirbies

0:21:410:21:44

to get them, like, silver

0:21:440:21:45

so when you go through the neon, the lights and everything like that,

0:21:450:21:48

it will be nice and metallic-y.

0:21:480:21:50

We're just doing like kirbies all the way back

0:21:540:21:56

and then it's just going to be like a big afro with extensions,

0:21:560:21:59

with metallic extensions all at the bottom.

0:21:590:22:01

Our theme is kinda like dark fairy tale, avant garde kinda thing,

0:22:010:22:05

so it's going to be kind of like a Mohican

0:22:050:22:08

but all the sides are all slipped back and everything

0:22:080:22:10

so it's going to be crazy messy and everything, so it's really cool.

0:22:100:22:14

I actually can't look at this.

0:22:210:22:22

I'm a little stressed out right now, there's a lot still to do,

0:22:250:22:27

she needs to get her make-up done

0:22:270:22:29

so, hopefully, that goes smoothly, but I don't know.

0:22:290:22:31

I'm sure when it gets to it, I'll be pure freaking out

0:22:310:22:34

but just now I'm all good, I'm still breathing.

0:22:340:22:37

I've got my inhaler in my bag so it's all good.

0:22:370:22:39

You think I'm kidding by the way!

0:22:400:22:42

With time running out, the students head down to the venue

0:22:480:22:51

where they will continue to prep the models

0:22:510:22:53

and rehearse for the catwalk show tonight.

0:22:530:22:55

I've enjoyed being in control of my model

0:22:580:23:00

and being able to do what I want

0:23:000:23:03

and doing massive, over the top.

0:23:030:23:04

I like doing all that instead of just simple things.

0:23:040:23:07

It's brought the team closer together, I'm proud of them.

0:23:070:23:10

I cannae wait to see the whole effect and their wee faces after it.

0:23:100:23:13

But it's nice to see the creative side coming out in them

0:23:130:23:16

and, as I'm sure you can see,

0:23:160:23:17

they've all got very, very grand ideas.

0:23:170:23:21

They break the rules a lot easier than what we do.

0:23:210:23:23

It's nice to see - it teaches us as well.

0:23:230:23:25

Hairdressing is a real creativity

0:23:270:23:30

and that's why people come into the industry,

0:23:300:23:32

so it's a really crucial part of the training that they get to show off.

0:23:320:23:36

You start at the front and do your back combing,

0:23:400:23:42

the way you normally would do it, and we'll try and create a shape.

0:23:420:23:45

Happy chappy!

0:23:460:23:48

Looking absolutely fantastic!

0:23:480:23:50

Get all these out, doll.

0:23:500:23:53

How long have we got till we go down?

0:23:560:23:58

A couple of minutes and then come back up.

0:23:580:24:02

-East Kilbride?

-Yeah!

-Brilliant.

0:24:040:24:07

OK, Clarkston, you're on fourth.

0:24:070:24:10

East Kilbride, you are on... One, two, three, four... ..sixth!

0:24:100:24:14

It's a complete normal short, back and sides.

0:24:180:24:21

It's what you would see every week on Buchanan Street in Glasgow.

0:24:210:24:24

My hands are actually sweating right now, I'm not kidding.

0:24:280:24:32

No, I am pure nervous.

0:24:320:24:34

When I get really nervous, I don't know, I just die.

0:24:340:24:37

We'll see what happens though.

0:24:370:24:38

Hopefully I don't die. Hopefully not. I'm pure nervous.

0:24:380:24:42

After a frantic afternoon,

0:24:440:24:45

the families and friends arrive for the Assistants' Show.

0:24:450:24:49

It's their first time on stage for a lot of them,

0:24:490:24:51

so we're looking for a huge amount of support.

0:24:510:24:54

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the first team.

0:24:540:24:58

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:24:580:24:59

We wanted the audience to ask, like, how did we do it kind of thing?

0:25:240:25:29

-So we did just a bunch of random stuff!

-There you go,

0:25:290:25:33

that's the technical description - "We did some random stuff"!

0:25:330:25:36

It went so well! I loved it.

0:25:500:25:53

It was, like, the first of many hair shows that we're going to do,

0:25:530:25:56

for sure.

0:25:560:25:57

A great experience, definitely. Loved it.

0:25:590:26:01

At the start, I didn't know if I was more nervous or more excited

0:26:040:26:07

but, see once they got on, I had a pure buzz and it was great.

0:26:070:26:10

It was absolutely amazing. Amazing.

0:26:160:26:20

I am so proud of every single person and I am absolutely delighted.

0:26:200:26:24

My year has been great.

0:26:500:26:51

It's just taught me a lot more about hairdressing

0:26:510:26:55

and about life in general.

0:26:550:26:57

Austin's got love bites!

0:26:570:26:59

I feel good that I've been kept on.

0:26:590:27:01

I didn't expect it, but I'm just going to go for it.

0:27:010:27:03

I'm quite chuffed to actually start doing, like, more difficult things

0:27:040:27:09

and give myself more of a challenge.

0:27:090:27:11

I've learnt a lot since I started.

0:27:130:27:15

I really want to be the sort of guy... "Who cut your hair?" "Jack."

0:27:170:27:22

We're going to have words.

0:27:230:27:24

I really would love to work for Rainbow Rooms when I'm a stylist.

0:27:240:27:28

Is that OK? I don't want to get my hopes up too high

0:27:280:27:31

but I think that it's possible.

0:27:310:27:33

Don't you worry about that, my friend.

0:27:330:27:35

When you first come in,

0:27:350:27:36

you don't realise what you can be in hairdressing.

0:27:360:27:39

-Binky...

-What is it?

-Star!

0:27:390:27:41

You don't realise how busy things can get and how exciting it can be.

0:27:410:27:45

I really want to go down the route of photo-shoots and catwalk shows.

0:27:470:27:51

Being able to work up

0:27:510:27:52

and being able to do that as a career would be amazing.

0:27:520:27:56

I'm dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead chuffed.

0:27:560:28:00

Oh, I'm having a moment!

0:28:040:28:06

It's a smidge cheeseball!

0:28:060:28:07

Let's go and do a model.

0:28:090:28:10

The reality has made me want to do it even more, to be honest with you.

0:28:140:28:17

I definitely still love it, still want to do it completely.

0:28:170:28:22

It's just given me more drive to do...to become a better hairdresser.

0:28:220:28:26

I feel really good.
