Voted for by Express & Echo readers, 17-year-old Hannah, from Honiton, and 23-year-old Exeter University student Jake, strutted to victory in a fabulous competition final catwalk show back in November, cheered on by friends, family, VIP guests and judges. Hannah and Jake spent the weekend spending their competition prize money (£500 each) accompanied by Chantelle Znideric, the award- winning personal stylist and founder of acclaimed TopStylista Image Consultancy. Their shopping spree was followed by a photo shoot with local professional fashion photographer Andy Green, including full hair and make-up styling by the team from Space Hair & Beauty in Cathedral yard. Hannah said: “I absolutely loved spending the prize money accompanied by my very own personal shopper! I really enjoy modelling and it was great to wear outfits picked out specially for me by Chantelle for the shoot. “I’m going to use the professional pictures in a portfolio and I plan to Time to plan fitness regime IT is January again. How are all those new year resolutions going? Fitness is for life not just for January. Working out at the gym every day for a couple of weeks is just not going to cut it. OK, so January is a good time to get started on your new exercise regime but how do you stick to it? Remember how great you feel after activity and if you eat right. Miss breakfast, eat loads of processed fatty foods, graze on sweets and crisps and you are going to feel like rubbish. Time to put in a fitness plan for life and yes, some of you will also have a desire to get thin and lose weight. Simone told me that she is determined to get fit this year and ‘skinny’. She has been an on/off exerciser for a few years. Simone told me that generally in January she feels a bit negative and can’t be bothered to do very much. She really wants to have a healthy lifestyle and knows that getting fit will make her feel better about herself. At school she took part in lots of sports and was active pretty much every day. When she moved to the UK from South Africa she ‘lost it’. She got out of the routine of sport and fitness. She told me: “I did not like how I looked and did not feel comfortable in my own body”. Since then she has made the decision to do something about it. Simone had been very active, and partly due to her body type, was really small. She told me that for her, her perfect body image is skinny. “I do not like not being able to get into clothes,” she added. “I need to tone up and loose inches. I go to the gym as often as I can. I also find that classes work really well for me. I like working as part of a group. It must be something to do with being used to team sports. “It is great having someone telling me what to do – and dancing around to music is enjoyable and I can see results. Having an active partner helps as does working in an organisation where everyone is into exercise. It is easy to find excuses to get out of going to the gym but I know I feel so much better after. I like to see results.” I asked Simone about her diet? She told me: “Snacking is my biggest downfall – crisps and savoury foods. I try to have fruit instead but I don’t want it to be too much like hard work. If you cut out everything you like and are ultra-strict it can be like going cold turkey.” And I would agree cutting out food groups and counting calories can make you want what you think you can’t have even more. Food is a friend – you need it to fuel up, especially if you exercise. Enjoy a balanced diet and having good health and fitness will make you feel great – even in January! by Mary Ann Privett Of the Sweat & Stretch Fitness Centre, Exeter Down at the gym Daily grind: Working out in a gym can be a good way to get fit My way to stay in fashion THERE is a saying in the world of hairdressing that “hairdressers attract clients like themselves”. Now I’m not saying it is always true, but interestingly enough, most of my clients are witty, intelligent, creative and fun and often inclined towards lateral thinking! It was along these lines that a slightly surreal conversation happened with a client of mine last week. It started because she was telling me that she was hoping to convince a friend of hers to come to me soon, because she had been wearing the same hairstyle for the last 30 years and she thought the only way to get her to change it was to get her to a new salon. This idea, although theoretically good for me, is a shame, because really, your hairdresser should keep you up to date, whatever your age or personal style, because fashion can be tweaked and personalised for you, without being outrageous, unsuitable or unmanageable. So it shouldn’t be necessary to change salons in order to change styles. Even if you wear an all time classic, like the bob for example, it has gone through many incarnations during my hairdressing career alone, from one length to layered, to graduated, to curly, to flat, to bouncy and most recently to tapered, so if you are still wearing yours so it looks like it was turned under with rollers, you’d better get an update quick. The problem is that some people are really resistant to change, they can’t see themselves as others see them or they haven’t noticed fashions changing around them, or maybe both, added to a little bit of fear! My client felt that her friend was suffering from a bit of all of those, so that was when our conversation started heading down the genuinely surreal path. We were trying to devise ways of getting her to come in for a chat. I suggested they met in our reception for a shopping trip, then I would surprise her. She thought maybe it would be necessary to kidnap her! I thought one of my gift vouchers might do the trick, she gave a cynical chuckle. Then we came up with a whole new, bigger idea A eureka moment, a flash of inspiration! We invented The Living Hair Will. You just sign it when you are young and bold, then when the time comes that you’ve lost the fashion plot, your executors, one of whom is an accredited hair stylist, would decide what you were having. Sorted! Too late for her friend though, going to have to stick with the kidnapping trick......or maybe I can talk her into that gift voucher idea! Hair advice Classic: The bob has been through many changes over the years by Jeff Goodwin Of Jeff Goodwin Hair Get the look Casual day For Jake’s casual day look that would take him to university, visiting friends or even out for lunch, Chantelle picked out items from the ‘stripe trend’ from Topman. According to the house of the late Alexander McQueen this is the look for spring of 2012. Chantelle picked fun, flirty florals from Topshop for Hannah’s casual day look including a pair of floral print super skinny jeans and pink faded floral scarf to accessorise. Her total outfit including sparkly shoes cost £180.50. Libby Tucker, owner of Space Hair and Beauty, created a “feminine and playful daytime look” for Hannah using Aveda’s Phomollient styling foam to style a bun at the front of her head and a “flirty, young fringe”. Libby said: “This look is so easy to create at home and instantly looked feminine and fun. I used Phomollient styling foam from Aveda (£13.40) available in the salon which includes certified organic honey, burdock and marshmallow root and creates weightless volume on fine and medium hair, it adds shine without build-up or weight.” Smart casual day To smarten things up during the day, Jake wore a V-neck jumper (£19.99) from Zara following the colour blocking trend. Hannah wore the sporty couture trend from Karen Millen for her smarter daytime look and teamed that with stand-out orange peep toe court shoes (£140) and colourful satchel bag (£150) from Karen Millen. Libby Tucker Owner of Space Hair and Beauty said: “We cut Jake’s hair into a 90’s buzz cut with a modern twist, using Aveda’s ‘Light Elements’ shaping wax to bring out the definition and texture in the haircut.” Evening For his evening attire, Jake wore a blue Promenade suit jacket and trousers (£284) from Reiss and a white checked Dustin Shirt (£79), also from Reiss, to finish off the look. Hannah wore the block colour and sporty couture trend from Reiss for her smart evening look. The Dawson dress in fushia pink is £179. To create the more dramatic evening make-up, Netty Salmon, beauty therapist at Space Hair & Beauty, used a liner on the outside of Hannah’s eyes and eye brightener in the corners to give that wide eyed look. Netty said: “I used a Bare Minerals powder base to even out Hannah’s complexion and used a darker blusher with red tones to highlight her cheek bones. A gold dusting on the lip gloss created the perfect evening look.” Hannah’s hair was inspired by early 90’s techno chic with a sporty twist. Libby said: “I finished her sporty side ponytail off with Aveda’s Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray, which has a zero impact on the climate through Aveda’s funding of renewable energy.” approach some model agencies this year. The whole experience since winning has been great and I’m really looking forward to representing Princesshay and being part of their events this year.” Jake said he got some great items on his shopping spree in Princesshay, saying: “I bought a new three-piece suit from Reiss. The outfits that Chantelle styled me in for photo shoot were amazing too and really my kind of look! “Working with a professional fashion photographer was a great learning experience and I have taken away a lot from the whole team involved.” Chantelle styled the entire photo- shoot with her team.

It started because she was tellingme that she was hoping to convince afriend of hers to come to me soon,because she had been wearing thesame hairstyle for the last 30 yearsand she thought the only way to gether to change it was to get her to anew salon.

This idea, although theoreticallygood for me, is a shame, becausereally, your hairdresser should keepyou up to date, whatever your age orpersonal style, because fashion can betweaked and personalised for you,without being outrageous, unsuitableor unmanageable.
