Episode 1

Student and model Yemzi wanted long flowing locks on a budget, but a trip to a salon ended in a headache. Weeks later her mum raised the alarm to a foul odour emitting from Yemzi's scalp and she was left with a bald patch and a carrier bag of hair saved as evidence. Young piercing addict Rosie visited her local salon to get the latest trend, a dermal anchor. But when the stud implanted in her hand went missing the piercers tried and failed to dig it out with a needle, and then sent her home with an open wound. Rosie's nightmare ended in surgery and she is now left with a scarred hand. Jess is on the case, helping return Yemzi's hair back to its former glory and fighting Rosie's corner when she gets a face-to-face meeting with piercing parlour responsible.
