Amongst this year’s celebrity trainees are: The Apprentice’s Lucinda Ledgerwood; Ex EastEnders actress Shana Swash; Stedman Pearson from 80s pop sensation Five Star; The Real Hustle beauty Jessica Jane Clement; and former Grange Hill actors in the form of (Togger) Chris Perry-Metcalf and (Zammo) Lee Macdonald.

Whether clients require a new look for a wedding, job interview or hot date, Steve will use his unique brand of creativity to transform brave clients’ make-up, clothes and unfortunately their hair.
