Hob salons, situated on Camden Lock represented the growing high standard of Uk hairdressing whilst playing host to the “hot” heiress and her new reality programme. The “all-American It girl” and 12 potential “best friends” were transformed in just 5 hours in order to accompany Paris as she sashays down the red carpet.
The pampered princess was kept hidden from the horde of paparazzi outside as salon windows were blacked out and security tightened.To keep the content of the ITV2 show secret until its broadcast in early January 2009,salon staff had to keep their phones turned off and were sworn to secrecy.
