Episode 1

• Broadcast date: 13 September 2013

The six celebrities met each other and were introduced to Herbert Howe, a man with over fifty years experience in the hair and beauty industry. Howe decided that each celebrity had to perform a consultation with a real-life client before they could begin working at the salon. Following these consultations, it was then revealed that these clients were apprentices themselves, all in training to work in the industry, and that they would be partnered with the celebrity who had consulted them. This meant that: Arg and Dil, Helen and Sanchez, Jody and James, John and Shani, Rustie and Jeni, and Yvette and Megan became partners. Furthermore, Howe explained that the winning apprentice (as a part of the winning pair) would leave the show with £10,000 and an apprenticeship. This put extra pressure on the celebrities.

On the second day, Helen's punctuality caused an argument with John, which forced her to tears. Later, in their respective pairs, they were given a masterclass in massaging which enabled them to demonstrate their new-found skills on real clientele; Howe judged Yvette and Megan to be this episode's 'Salon Stars' (best performers) and judged Arg and Dil to be this episode's worst performers. Arg & Dil were then told to clean up Howe's salon as punishment.
