Your dream celebrity hairstyle

Hair under the microscope

Want to know what celebrity hair looks will work on you and which ones definitely won\'t? Or find out why your hair never does what it\'s supposed to and which products will help tame it once and for all? Welcome to Charles Worthington\'s Pop-Up Atelier - a new one-to one consultancy service that will sort out your crowning glory for good.

Run exclusively by Mathew Soobroy (who you\'ll recognise from his weekly slot on This Morning with Philip and Fearne) the hour long session includes detailed hair analysis, face shape matching, lifestyle questionnaire, personality profile, colour clinic and a blow dry masterclass. Mathew even helped Company judge it\'s celebrity hair awards earlier this year.

Putting my hair literally under the microscope Mathew discovered I had a slightly oily scalp and sensitive, slightly weak ends. From this he recommended specific shampoo and conditioning products as well as styling tools that would help protect my hair from stress and repair any heat damage.

Hair personality types

My lifestyle questionnaire revealed I was a \'Flirty Classic\' which meant I was generally traditional in style but with the temptation to experiment (which is very true!) I was pleased the mood board which summed up the look included pics of Mena Suvari and Renee Zellwegger. Other hair personalty types that they\'ve identified are the: Daring Diva, Trend Setter, Savvy Perfectionist, Natural beauty and Girl Next Door - so which one are you?

Having built up a picture of my existing haircare regime and lifestyle Mathew moved on to identify the \'Perfect\' hair for me by examining my face shape (square) and colour chart. One of his top tips if you want to identify your face shape at home is to use a marker pen to draw round your reflection in a mirror. Simple but effective! Once you know and understand your face shape it helps you realise what kind of of celebrity styles will suit you and which won\'t - it\'s not as easy to carry off the Agyness crop as it looks! But the good news is trends can be tweaked so they do work for you.

(You see how you\'d look with a whole array of different celebrity hairstyles with our fabulous new make-over tool, too!)

Experimenting with colour

When looking for a perfect style the key is whether it helps morph your face shape into that of a perfect oval (the most attractive shape of all)! You can do this yourself by playing with fringes, side partings, and up-dos that draw attention towards different sides / areas of your face.

Colourwise, if you\'re thinking of taking the plunge and going blonde, red or even black Mathew has a selection of wigs he will try on you first. They\'re also great for getting an idea of whether you want to chop it all off or add length with extensions. Despite desperately wanting to be a blonde, trying the wig on made me realise I\'d look more Dolly Parton than Marylin Monroe.

Finally I was given advice on my \'hair future\' which involved adding more layers and being bold and switching back from red to dark brown - especially for the winter. I then learnt how to keep my frizz under control when I blow dry and walked out the salon feeling like a new woman.

A tailored service

Charles Worthington himself says: \"Just as a couture dress is tailored to your every curve, in The Atelier we adopt the same approach to hair. Your hair is something you wear every day regardless of how good it looks so we have devised this new consultancy service to make sure it really is your crowning glory.\"

* The service costs £75 in a private suite at Charles Worthington\'s Percy Street Salon in London. It will pop up in different locations later in the year. For more information call 020 7631 1370 or visit charlesworthington.com
