Beauty: Salon Spy; Fancy a new hairdo, courtesy of M? Course you do. And the catch? Go undercover then dish the dirt when it's all over - easy.

THIS WEEK: Jane Collyer, 23, went to the Trevor Sorbie Salon, London WC2 (020-7379 6901)

With Jennifer Aniston's flicky bob in mind, Jane decided she wanted a trendy new look instead of the `shapeless nothing' she was living with, so for pounds 62 she had her hair cut by a senior stylist at Trevor Sorbie's Covent Garden salon.

1. Before: `I've not set out to grow my hair, but all of a sudden it's just got longer and isn't a style any more. I fancied a shaggy bob that sits just above the shoulders, but senior stylist Vicky said a jaw-length cut would suit my face shape better.'

2. After: `It looks modern and really suits me. Vicky gave me tips on how to style my new do and recommended products to give it that choppy feel.'

3. First wash: `I thought I wouldn't be able to style my hair after the first wash, especially as it went fluffy after blow- drying. But, after applying some wax, I think I'm almost there. I love it.'

Jane's verdict: 9/10

`It's low-maintenance and really modern. Vicky was professional, friendly and gave me specialist advice. Although it's more than I'd usually pay for a cut, it's been worth it.'

M's verdict: 10/10

Top marks to Trevor and his team who obviously believe customer service is as important as the cut itself. Jane's new hairdo really suits her - what a great look.
