Hair and Beauty students at The Bournemouth & Poole College had more reasons than most to focus on the X Factor contestants this year.
One of the former students at the college, Christchurch-born Aaron Carlo was the man putting all the glamour and style into their looks.
It's been a few years since Aaron, 30, finished his training at the college and the salon where he first learned his skills, Tony Hair in Christchurch. He has built a brilliant reputation as a session stylist for glossy magazine models, fashions houses and celebrities.
