Who'll be crowned l'oréal hair idol xtra winner?

Step aside Leona; move over Leon; there will be a new idol crowned on Monday September 8 and this one will be a (hair) cut above...

Comprising of double acts of talented technicians and super stylist,  six young salon teams - all under the age of 30 - will go head to head in the final of L'Oréal Hair Idol Xtra.

After successfully winning their way through moodboard judging and regional finals, the teams from TONI&GUY Kensington, Ilford. Clapham Junction Leeds 2 and Dublin and essensuals Nottingham will be battling it out with a live-stage presentation at the Bridge, London, on Monday September 8.

With a panel of highly esteemed hairdressing industry judges to impress, the finalists will not only have to demonstrate great technical and styling ability but they will also have to put on a highly entertaining show, which they choreograph themselves.

Here's how the six teams managed to get through their semi-finals.
