A HAIRDRESSER from Kidderminster has launched her own product range at Superdrug stores aimed at tackling "real-life hair problems".

Award-winning colour specialist Lisa Shepherd, who runs a salon in Mill Street, has created The Hair Boss - a multi-step vegan-friendly hair care range which includes a scalp scrub, balayage shampoo, shine spray and double mask.

Known locally as 'The Colour Doctor', Lisa has been a leader in the hair industry for many years and is the only colourist to win the British Hairdresser of the Year award. She has also acted as the UK and global colour ambassador for Schwarzkopf, L'Oreal and Redken.

Kidderminster Shuttle:

Lisa designed The Hair Boss to tackle "real-life hair problems" and create hair solutions that women can use everyday.

She told The Shuttle: "It has always been my dream to have my own product range and from my extensive experience running busy salons and working with leading hair care brands, I know what the customer wants and where there are gaps in the market.

"I plan on filling these with these clever, cool, yet honest products.

"The Hair Boss can work wonders for anyone who wants to take control of their hair, who has colour treated or everyday hair dilemmas.

"The Hair Boss is a luxury SOS brand that does exactly what is says on the label - creating beautiful healthy hair, whilst not costing the earth.”

Single mum Lisa sees herself as an advocate for juggling work and family life, working day-to-day in her Kidderminster business, which is the UK's first sensory salon.

Kidderminster Shuttle:

Lisa's career was almost cut short when she started to suffer from terrifying seizures, which left her unable to work in the one place she had always felt most at home - her salon.

The distinctive aromas and sounds, which are everyday occurrences in a usual salon, were key triggers for Lisa’s condition, so it has been crucial for Lisa to ensure The Hair Boss is sensory friendly.

Like Lisa's salon, the 10 hair care products are neurologically friendly so that the smells and textures of each product are not overwhelming, but pleasant.

The range is made up of a pre-treatment scalp scrub, routine cleaning 'Virgin' shampoo, overworked hair shampoo, balayage shampoo, body building foam conditioner, double hair mask, overnight repair serum, post-cleaning scalp tonic, semi-permanent shine spray and anti-static shine spray.

The Hair Boss launched exclusively in Superdrug stores earlier this month.
