Essensuals MEN and Essensuals Billericay were on hand at the Virgin Media Louder Lounge at V Festival to style the stars for their stage appearances and pamper VIP guests.
It is the sixth consecutive year that creative director Jim Shaw and his team have been backstage at the festival, hosting a blow-dry bar and male grooming area to ensure that everyone looked at their best despite the unseasonal weather conditions.
Celebrities including Kelly Brook, Nick Grimshaw and Pixie Lott visited the salon for a freshen up, while the team also worked on looks for artists including Tulisa and Emelie Sande before they took to the stage.
The most-requested looks of the weekend were messy buns for female guests and David Beckham-inspired styles for the men.
Jim said: "It's great to have been invited back this year. What made things different this time was the opportunity to work backstage. This is a first for all of us. If it wasn't for my dedicated team we wouldn't have been able to do this - they helped to make the event such a success!"
