A ROMFORD hairdresser proved she was a cut above the rest after being picked to style an up-and-coming pop band heralded as ‘the next big thing’.

The Scarletz - ska-inspired Tahnee, Claire, Bryony and Katiya - were coiffed for the videoshoot of their new single, Messed Up, by senior stylist Rose Palmer from Paul Falltrick Hairdressing, based in Western Road.

Rose said: “I wanted the hair to have plenty of movement and be almost a little messy to reflect the theme of the single.”

The single will be released on March 27 but you can see Rose’s handiwork on YouTube.
