The Olympic Torch made a pit-stop at HOB Salons in Temple Fortune, when loyal client and official torch-bearer Talya Jacobson stopped by for a blow-dry.
Talya was chosen as a torch bearer owing to her outstanding contribution to charity - the teenager has already raised over £60,000 through participating in various fund-raising events, despite being diagnosed with meningitis at birth and living with cerebral palsy ever since.
Before her big day, the plucky runner popped into her favourite salon for a blow-dry to help her look and feel amazing for her big day - bringing a torch with her with a photo op.
Salon manger, Simon Barker said: "Talya is a very important client to us and when we heard she had been chosen to carry the Olympic torch we were delighted for her. It was a great surprise when she brought the torch into the salon and she created a great buzz amongst the team and passers-by who all stopped to look at the torch. We pride ourselves on our client relations and it was great that we could share this with her and make her look and feel great."
