A KIDDERMINSTER salon owner will be adding her own blend of colour and shine to a top style programme due to hit our TV screens this spring.

Lisa Shepherd, who runs an award-winning salon in Mill Street, will appear as an expert on the Channel 4 series, 10 Years Younger, in May.

The show's host, Nicky Hambleton-Jones, provides make-overs for women featured with help from a team of fashion and beauty industry experts.

Now in its fifth series, the programme has recruited Ms Shepherd as a hair colourist due to her reputation as "the hair colour doctor".

She came to the attention of series bosses as three-time winner of British Colourist of the Year and as former British Hairdresser of the Year in 2005.

She said: "I had a great time filming series five with the make-over team. The transformations are staggering and I am sure that viewers will be amazed."
