Battle of the salons?

“I’ve got absolutely no filter and I love drama,” he said.
“I’m a happy-go-lucky person but if someone upsets me I’ll annihilate them.
“There was one person I didn’t get on with but you’ll have to wait and watch to find out.”
Michael’s first rivals are married couple Susan Brown and Rachel Robson, whose salon Cloud 9 Wellbeing is a peaceful haven of holistic health and well being in Cullercoats.
The third spa owner is multi award winning therapist Judy Mahoney of The Salon in Forest Hall - a veteran with 25 years’ experience in the industry.
A preview from the programme makers says: “Day two sees everyone gather at Rachel and Susan’s holistic salon, where peace and goodwill to all is the order of the day, but can Susan keep the love flowing with former teacher Judy during a reiki massage?
“Next Michael is treated to an Indian head massage with a difference, where special crystals are used to help his energy flow. And the relaxation doesn’t just end with the treatments, as Susan and Rachel take their rivals to the beach for some midnight crystal energising rituals.
“Last to host is beauty veteran Judy, who’s not bashful of showing off her many awards and trophies. Can she win Michael round with her own deep tissue massage using a machine rather than just her hands?
“Meanwhile Susan, who would rather be having a massage, is treated to a leg wax, while Rachel gets her first eyelash makeover.”
Rachel said: “It was an amazing experience doing the show.
“We’d never done anything like that before and we were a total wildcard because of the kind of treatments we do.”
The show airs on ITVBe on Wednesday, July 26 at 8pm.
