For many hairdressers, competitive hairdressing never loses its edge. This is certainly true for the team from Saks in Great Yarmouth who are representing the Eastern region in the Grand Final of the L'Oréal Colour Trophy for the sixth time!

Heidi Lain and Jane Calder are flying the flag for the salon in 2007.  "We are ecstatic,” exclaimed the girls. "The team did a double-take when we heard our name read out and honestly had no idea that we would get through. This is our sixth time in the Grand Final and the feeling of achievement never diminishes. We're really chuffed."

Having looked far afield for inspiration they explain the thinking behind their striking image: "We both love the romance and femininity of French chic and looked to film's such as Amelie for our initial style direction. This look was then given a sixties twist inspired by Mia Farrow's infamous crop and the style was blow-dried with lots of volume and lashings of gloss. The use of copper, blonde and beige tones to gives an overall feeling of natural softness."
