Great British Hairdresser on E4

[pumpupthevolume]

Yes, I know I'm "mutton watching lamb" but my word, I really enjoyed watching this, and can't wait till the next one!

I love the irony of Abi Clancy co-hosting a show about edgy hairdressing when she gets freaked out by hair being cut

I'm impatient to see the celeb styling: Lily Allen! Kate Moss! These contestants have got such a great opportunity here. James seems like an incredible mentor to have, yet some of the contestants so far seem to think they're auditioning for a job at their local Curl Up 'n' Dye!

Is anybody else hooked? Please come and bitch chat with me about James Brown's crunchy hair....

We saw it.

Can't agree re. "incredible mentor", though. What an absolute up himself self-important wanker James Brown is! Ooh, you didn't follow my advice, so I don't like you - what advice? You said you didn't like crimping - how is that advice?? Isn't this supposed to be about injecting your own individuality and style not being his clone? Grrr....

I like the older woman and the young black guy, they did really good styles. Not sure about the arsey Amy Wino clone.

And yes, his own hair is VILE!

he he - is he ever going to take his hat off ??

Not just me then!

Yes, Lovecat he is a wanker, but he has good connections and if he takes one of them under his wing, they'll have a lot of doors opened... I think he'll get more and more diva-ish as the series goes on. Could be amusing.

Amy Winehouse clone is in for the drama I think. We need a baddie!

Sharbie:I think the final challenge should be to remove James Brown's hat and style him properly! That should show who's got real talent!!!

mission impossible

hatwatch week 2 - still on

Won't be able to watch till the weekend... How was it? And was it the same hat?

ok this week much of the same
diff hat though - pink

Does anyone remember him in a documentry about him
opening his own salon,Kate Moss was in it also,
he was a diva in that,is that salon still open or
did he go bust?

yh i remember that no idea if still going will google

no sign of hair salon anymore but looks like it was in trouble last yr and kate refused to bail him out but acc to article in dm davinia murphys mum did help out.googling him shows he has a webpage flogging his hair products.

Agree with Lovecat. Just watched this on 4OD.

James Taylor is a total a**e!!! (And I don't use that word often).

He just wants a complete clone of him. He doesn't offer constructive critisism he just says I don't like X and if they do X berates them for it without actually explaining why it's wrong just that he doesn't like it as if he's some sort of god.

I will be watching just hoping that someone slaps him hard. The one who wins should be the one one who tells JT to for f**k himslef!
