The Apprentice- the verdict
If you watched The Apprentice on Wednesday this week, where the task was setting up a cosmetic company, you might be interested in reading what an industry expert had to say about the programme. You can find this on the excellent Professional Beauty.co.uk site - you can also read the online version of Professional Beauty here and sign up for the weekly newsletter to keep up with the latest industry news.

The Apprentice
Next week's 'The Apprentice' (click to read 'The Apprentice' blog) sees Sir Alan Sugar challenging the teams to set up a cosmetic company. Might be worth a watch for useful tips (or to see where they go wrong!). It's on Wednesday 15th April on BBC 1 at 9.00 pm. See the Radio Times listing for more details of this task.

Sumo Hairdressing

There's a hair related TV programme on BBC 4 tonight (8.30- 9.00pm). 'The Sumo Tokoyama: The Art of Hairdressing for Wrestlers' deals with the aesthetics of sumo wrestling and the traditional top knots that are crafted daily by the tokoyama, or sumo hairdresser. So, if you like the idea of specialising in this area, or are just curious, you might want to take a look at the programme. See this week's Radio Times TV listings.
