SHARP HAIR Design owner
Sally Rowe is sharp indeed.

entrants were narrowed down to
the Toronto-bound five.

light brown and two heads of
black, curly hair.

She cut the blonde model's hair

with one length on top for a more
angular look.

The black-haired model was
given a ‘60s bob while the model
