It is an absolute honour to be chosen to work with Olympians and their families during the London 2012 Olympic Games. I’ve watched the Olympic Games since I was a child and I am thrilled to be a part of this historic event. My Mum has always been hugely supportive and encouraging to me and I couldn’t be more excited or proud to be here as part of the team thanking the women who helped these athletes to become the best in the world.

P&G Salon Professional President, Adil Mehboob-Khan, said,

P&G is totally committed to thanking Mums for the amazing jobs they do all over the world, and is proud to offer a dedicated team of talented and top-class stylists and colour experts to help Olympians and their families celebrate this life-affirming event.
