Katie Price's £11k hairdo horror! Model demanding compensation after 3,000-mile trip to U.S. salon results in her hair falling out
0 comments Posted by manok at 8:34 PMBy Lara Gould and Caroline Graham
Lightening up: Katie Price on her visit to Lea Journo's salon - where she is hoping to claim compensation from for damage to her hair
She has always gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure her appearance is never less than eye-catching.
But model Katie Price is demanding compensation from a top Los Angeles hair salon after she spent £11,000 on hair colourings and extensions that she claims were botched, leaving her hair so damaged it began falling out.
The 33-year-old is seeking a full refund plus compensation from Lea Journo, one of Hollywood’s most in-demand hairdressers, who has tended her hair three times a year since 2006.
Remedial work: Back in London, Katie Price visits a salon to try to have the damage corrected
Over the past five years it means Miss Price – who has built up a £40 million fortune from her business empire, which includes modelling, novels and an equestrian fashion range – has spent more than £150,000 on her hair.
Appointments with Parisian-born Miss Journo, who runs her own salon at the five-star Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel in LA and boasts a string of A-list Hollywood clients including Brad Pitt, start from £150 for a basic trim. A simple blow dry costs £100. Colour treatments and hair extensions start at £250.
Miss Price claims she made the 3,000-mile journey to LA to have her hair lightened from brunette to blonde and to have hair extensions applied at the salon in December. And in keeping with her position as one of Britain’s most well-publicised stars, she made sure she was followed every step of the way by a crew from her reality TV show, Katie.
Miss Price, who says she uses the salon because it is ‘the best’ for applying hair extensions, says she was told Miss Journo wasn’t available but was offered an appointment with another stylist instead.
Not happy: The extensions are clearly exposed by her wind-swept hair - and soon she realised bits of hair were falling out
Before starting, Miss Price, also known as glamour model Jordan, sought an assurance that such an extreme change in colour wouldn’t damage her hair. She says the salon told her there was no risk because the lightening method they used didn’t contain bleach.
But Miss Price, who spent 48 hours in the salon over five days and was worked on by a team of hairdressers, says she noticed problems after technicians began the colouring. She claims her hair became brittle and began snapping off half way through the treatment.
A source close to the twice-married star said she was assured there was nothing wrong and continued with the next stage of the process, attaching the extensions.
The intricate process involves human hair being attached strand by strand to existing hair.
Miss Price, who paid for the £11,000 cost of the treatment in full upon leaving the salon, says she felt discomfort almost immediately after the process was completed.
After arriving back in the UK, a week later she claims her hair began breaking off and the extensions were pulling her hair from the root.
A source said: ‘It looked fine once it had been blow dried but Katie said it felt uncomfortable and the extensions were tugging at the roots.
‘When she got back to the UK she got a hairdresser to look at the extensions who said they had been applied unevenly. Her hair was very weak from the colouring. It was brittle and broke off easily, leaving different parts different lengths. At the front there were bits that were only a few centimetres long. The damage will take a long time to repair.’
Miss Price says she was offered a 50 per cent refund and an invitation to return to have the work corrected. But she says that offer has since been retracted and she is seeking advice about getting her money back.
Yesterday Miss Price’s long-time ‘colour technician’ at the salon, Alexandra Thomas, said: ‘None of us had any idea who she was when she started coming here. She’s like Britain’s answer to Pamela Anderson but not as pretty or successful, right?
‘There was a big bust-up recently and Katie was making a stink.
‘I can’t really talk about it but let’s just say I don’t think she’ll be coming back. It doesn’t bother us and to be honest it’s a relief. We handle the biggest stars in Hollywood. She’s a nobody.’
Sources close to Miss Price say that since December she has spent £45,000 trying to rectify the damage.She claims to have had her hair checked by four independent hairdressers – including one from hair extensions company Great Lengths – who are prepared to corroborate her claims that the extensions were applied incorrectly.
A source added: ‘She is seeking reimbursement of the cost of the treatment plus compensation.’
But another source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: ‘What is at issue here is that the hair was in poor condition when she came in. Miss Price had been to another hairdresser and she asked Lea to get it back to the condition it had been in. Lea had a team work with her over several days.
‘The problem came with the bill. My understanding is that she felt she was being charged too much but Lea turned down other clients and the team turned people away to do the work and try to satisfy the client. They couldn’t simply write it off.’

Are those flowers for Katie? Green-fingered Leandro heads to garden centre ahead of Miss Price's 33rd birthday
0 comments Posted by manok at 7:38 PMBy DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Happy birthday: Leandro prepares for his girlfriend's 33rd birthday bash by heading to a Surrey garden centre to pick up some flora and fauna
It’s his girlfriend’s 33rd birthday tomorrow and Leandro Penna was spotted shopping for flowers ahead of the big day.
Katie Price’s Argentinian boyfriend didn’t go to his local florist though, and instead headed to a gardening centre in Surrey.
The green-fingered model appeared to have chosen a range of different flower pots, from pink to red to purple.
He also wheeled a selection of small trees over to his car before filling his boot with the flora and fauna.
Despite dressing down in casual shorts, a T-shirt and trainers, Leandro couldn’t hide his model good looks.
Wheeling in the plants: Leandro threw on his gardening gear to pick up the plants
Penna has apparently been working in Jordan's garden all week with her sister's boyfriend, Harry Brooks
Meanwhile, Katie Price has been getting excited about her birthday bash, which she is celebrating tonight with a fancy dress party, according to The Sun.
Handsome gardener: Despite dressing down in casual shorts, a T-shirt and trainers, Leandro couldn't hide his model good looks
The former glamour model wrote on her Twitter page today: ‘You will look wicked tonight! Everything organised so I can chill today in fact haven’t felt well past few days cold on way!x’ [sic]
Leandro has apparently been preening her garden in time for the party, but perhaps his latest flowers are a surprise bunch for Katie.
She has apparently organised the dress-up part at her home and has invited some of her ex-boyfriends, but not her ex-husbands, the tabloid reported.
The Pricey is said to have invited Blue star Duncan James and Another Level singer Dane Bowers among 300 other guests.
Birthday girl: Katie Price was spotted at her local Sainsbury's in Essex with her son Junior yesterday, while Leandro was in the garden
But Peter Andre and Alex Reid are apparently not invited, after having both gone through very public divorces with Jordan.
Katie has been dating 25-year-old Leandro since they met at Elton John’s Oscar party in February this year, less than two months after she split from second husband Alex Reid.
They have been virtually inseparable since and she has even joined him on vacation to his home country of Argentina to meet the Penna family.
And rumours circulated this week that the couple have had matching tattoos of the date that they met - but have not yet been spotted.
Business meetings: Earlier in the week Katie Price was seen arriving at a hotel in London, where she had some business appointments

Ouch... doesn't that hurt? Katie Price displays painful hair extensions tugging on her scalp
0 comments Posted by manok at 4:54 AMBy DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Beauty is pain? Unfortunately Katie Price's hair extensions don't even look good, yet must be causing her a bit of pain
Katie Price might have toned down her make-up lately by opting for a more natural approach; however her hair still looks anything but.
The former glamour model flew out from Gatwick airport today and landed in Manchester with hair extensions that appeared to be pulling on her scalp.
She had a full head of extensions attached to the roots of her hair, which she piled into a large bun.

If she was trying to achieve a glamorous full head of big hair though, her attempt was unsuccessful and instead her barnet just looked painful.
The Pricey arrived in Manchester solo and must have left her Argentinian boyfriend Leando back in London.
The mother-of-three appeared happy to be on her own though, as she strutted through the airport in skin tight grey jeans and suede boots.
Despite being without Mr Penna today, Jordan spent last night with her Latin lover for drinks and dinner.
Katie and her Leandro were both wearing torn jeans and T-shirts as they headed to the Mayfair Bar in London.

Katie, 32, was all in white as she stepped out in ripped skin tight jeans, feathered boots and a T-shirt adorned with a woman riding a horse saying ‘ranch’ over her chest.
While 25-year-old Penna matched his scuffed jeans with a plain black T-shirt and cowboy-inspired boots.
After enjoying a few drinks at the exclusive bar, the couple decided to enjoy a meal at Roka Restaurant in central London.

Is that really you Katie? Make-up free Miss Price looks pretty and fresh faced without her war paint

Fresh faced: The glamour model had ditched her heavy make-up for the night out instead opting for a minimal look
She is usually a firm believer that when it comes to make-up more is more.
But as the glamour model, 32, enjoyed a night out with toy boy Leandro Penna last night she decided to hold back on the war paint, opting instead to show off her natural beauty with minimal make-up.
Katie, was enjoying a night out with beau and her friend, makeup artist Gary Cockerill, in Soho and the group visited Balans bar in the area for the evening out.
Katie was dressed in a pair of tight jeans and wore an off-the-shoulder cream knitted jumper which emphasised her extremely dark tan.

The mother-of-three had her bleached locks loose around her shoulders and added a flash of colour with bright pink nails.
Leandro, 26, was dressed in a grey jumper and ripped grey jeans and appeared extremely protective of Katie as he tightly held her hand and ushered her into their car as they ended for home at the end of their evening.
Toned down: We are more used to seeing Katie with a full face of makeup as seen at her novel launch last year compared with her fresh-faced look last night
And it was at this point she became snap happy playing up to the paparazzi and turned her own camera on them.
Katie picked up a camera after working out how to take pictures on it to try her photography skills out for size.
She wound down the window of the car and snapped a few shots of the photographers as they took pictures of her.

So no upcoming nuptials? Katie got to grips with the camera and appeared ring free, after wearing a large ring on her engagement finger last week
Katie had sparked rumours, albeit spoken with a helping of scepticism, that she and Leandro were engaged when she wore a huge ring on her engagement finger at a book signing last week.
But while she was ring-free at the event she kept her new tattoo, which she had completed on her most recent visit to South America, under the sleeve of her jumper.

You've got to be kidding Katie! Jordan flashes ring on engagement finger the day after Leandro jets back to U.K.

Trying to tell us something? Katie Price was seen with a huge ring on her engagement finger earlier today as she attended a book signing with Leandro
She's admitted to being in love with him and just a day after Leandro Penna followed her back to the U.K. Katie Price has been spotted wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger.
The glamour model flashed the rock at her book signing earlier today as he boyfriend Leandro proudly looked on.
The 26-year-old model jetted to be back by Katie’s side yesterday after the couple spent just three days apart.
Katie jetted back from Argentina on Tuesday night and shortly after returning from a trip to Leandro’s home town Katie,32, tweeted: ‘At least I can admit now I'm in love with leo and had been for along time but didn't want to say woo.’ (sic)
As she clutched her novel for a photocall Katie, who has been married twice, showed off a huge ring on her engagement finger.
But while she has only known Leandro for a matter of months she appeared to enjoy playing up the camera's with the rock and ensured she held her book in her left hand to get the ring in shot.
She wore a checked grey shirt over a white vest teamed with a pair of grey leggings, suede boots and she finished off the look with a black wide brimmed hat.
Can't stand being apart: Leandro joined Katie at her book singing today after following her back to the U.K. from Argentina after just three days
But while she was happy to flash the rock she kept her latest body art hidden and was sporting a bandage around her left wrist.
Katie opted to have the etching added to her inner left arm - alongside her older designs of a crown and her daughter's name 'Princess' while she was in South America.
The glamour model used to have the tattoo of the word Pete in the same area surrounded by hearts but shortly after they split she was seen with his name crossed out.
'I love him': As Katie arrived back into the UK earlier this week she tweeted that she was in love with Leandro and today she ensured she was pictured wearing a ring on her engagement finger
Tweeting from the American Tattoo boutique in the upmarket Buenos Aires area of Recoleta, Katie wrote: ''In the middle of having a new tattoo ...OMG it HURTS grrrr ahhhhhh.'
Perhaps her new inking is a tribute to her current boyfriend who she met little over two months ago at an Oscars party hosted by Elton John.

Katie filed for divorce from Alex Reid, who she married in February 2010, just days after meeting Leandro in March.
The glamour model had split from her first husband Peter Andre in May 2009 after three and a half years together.

She's ba-a-ack! Katie Price - and her wardrobe - arrives back home as she bids adios to Argentina and Leandro

Home sweet home: Katie Price flashes a smile to the cameras as she arrives back in the UK from her trip to Argentina to see boyfriend Leandro Penna
She's jumped out of a plane, gone sailing for flamingos, enjoyed a day at the polo and added another tattoo to her collection.
But all good things must come to an end, as Katie Price found as she said goodbye to Argentina - and her toyboy lover- and headed back home to the UK.
The glamour model was snapped arriving at Heathrow airport last night, after jetting in from her holiday in South America.
Leaving boyfriend Leandro Penna behind, Katie - and her stack of luggage - arrived in London and immediately headed off to her Surrey mansion.
And she will no doubt be looking forward to seeing her three children, who have been spending time with Peter Andre and his family in Cyprus.
Katie certainly looked happy to be home as she beamed for the cameras, despite her 13-hour flight from Buenos Aires.
It's good to be home: Katie chats to her driver as he escorts her to her waiting car
Katie has been in South America for almost two weeks, visiting Leandro, 25, who introduced her to his family and showed her around.
The couple went sky-diving, took a romantic boat ride on Lake Chiquita, and spent a day watching the polo.
But it wasn't all fun and games as they were involved in a bad car crash, but luckily both walked away with nothing more than cuts and bruises.

Last Sunday, two horses died after the stallions ran into the road smashing into the 4X4 the couple were driving in, which left Katie, a big horse lover, feeling distraught.
Thankfully she only suffered cuts on her hands and a jarred neck after the incident, which happened at 1.30am around three miles from their hotel Estancia San Pedro Viejo in Argentina.
But the couple soon shook the incident off, and to show how much fun she had had in Argentina, Katie got inked with another tattoo to add to the five she already has.

Katie Price gets a pick me up from Leandro as they make a rapid recovery following horror crash
0 comments Posted by manok at 8:09 AMBy Sarah Fitzmaurice
Happy couple: Katie could keep her hands or her legs off her 25-year-old lover and was seen kissing and cuddling with him. In the day Katie put the dramatic crash behind her and climbed back into the saddle for a cross-country ride
As she was hoisted up high into the air by her boyfriend wrapping her legs around his head, it was hard to believe that Katie Price had been involved in a horrific car crash just the day before.
But yesterday Leandro Penna managed to take his girlfriend’s mind far from the dramatic events on Saturday and the pair indulged in what appeared to be a number of acrobatic embraces.
The mother-of-three couldn’t keep her arms or her legs off her man as she climbed all over him and she appeared delighted when the Argentine model lifted his lady high into the air so that she was sat on his neck and collar bone.
Little pick-me-up: Leandro Penna managed to put a smile on Katie Price's face yesterday following their horrific car crash and was seen fooling around with the glamour model hoisting her high into the air
Dressed in a dark brown cowboy hat a pair of dark jeans knitted boots and a cream jumper Katie appeared content and relaxed putting the traumatic events of the day before behind her.
The couple had visited a chapel on the site of their hotel that morning before they decided to go for a quick ride
Katie and the Argentine model took their mind off the crash with a fun day out including a helicopter ride to Lake Chiquita and climbed aboard a boat to look at the flocks of Flamingos that live on the lake.
On Sunday morning Katie and Leandro were involved in a terrible car accident which left two horses dead after the stallions ran into the road smashing into the 4X4 the couple were driving in.
Katie later told papers that she felt she was ‘lucky to be alive’ following the accident and as a keen rider she was left particularly distraught by the death of the animals.
What on earth are you doing? Katie showed off her gymnastic skills with the help of Leandro who appeared to be enjoying the view
She tweeted: ‘I'm so lucky to be alive @leandro__penna saved my life and the others in the car he is a hero to us for this.’
But while Katie was left extremely shaken by the accident yesterday she managed to force herself back into the saddle yesterday.
Her spokesperson told MailOnline: 'The accident was quite horrific and she was quite shaken up but after she visited the chapel she did get on a horse for five or ten minutes as they were horses at the hotel where they were staying.'
A source told the Daily Mirror: ‘She was in tears for much of the day and was really nervous the first time she stepped back into the saddle.’
Horrific smash: The car Katie and Leandro were driving in was smashed up from the impact of the horses which ran into the road and hit them. The horses died following their collision with the 4X4
It is understood the mother-of-three suffered cuts on her hands and a jarred neck after the incident, which happened at 1.30am on Sunday morning around three miles from their hotel Estancia San Pedro Viejo in Argentina.
And witnesses said the only reason she and the Argentinian model survived the crash was because they were in such a sturdy vehicle and were wearing their seatbelts.
We're OK: The mother-of-three and her boyfriend were badly shaken by their crash yesterday but managed to take their minds off things with a fun day out
A source told The Sun: 'Jordan probably loves horses more than people, they're her life. To have watched the animals die like that would have been extremely distressing for her.'
A spokesperson for the model said: 'There was an accident and sadly two horses were killed. Katie and Leandro are OK, though understandably shaken.'

Katie Price has spoken of her terror after a car crash which nearly cost her her life.
The glamour model was left with severe whiplash after two stallions ran into the road and smashed into her 4X4, which boyfriend Leandro Penna was driving.
And sobbing after the terrifying accident which left the horses dead, Katie admitted she was stunned she survived.
She told the Daily Mirror: 'It's a miracle that we're alive. It was absolutely terrifying. it all happened in a flash and I have absolutely no idea how I wasn't badly injured.
Romance: The model straddles her new boyfriend kissing him passionately while climbing rocks on holiday in Argentina
'I feel so lucky, but more than anything I'm just distraught about the horses. It was so upsetting.'
It is understood the mother-of-three suffered cuts on her hands and a jarred neck after the incident, which happened at 1.30am yesterday morning around three miles from their hotel Estancia San Pedro Viejo in Argentina.
And witnesses said the only reason she and the Argentinian model survived the crash was because they were in such a sturdy vehicle and were wearing their seatbelts.
But while Katie - also known as Jordan - was shaken by the crash, she was said to be most upset about the death of the horses - being a keen rider herself.
A source told The Sun: 'Jordan probably loves horses more than people, they're her life. To have watched the animals die like that would have been extremely distressing for her.'
A spokesperson for the model said: 'There was an accident and sadly two horses were killed. Katie and Leandro are OK, though understandably shaken.'
Tow-truck driver Raul Reinoso told The Sun he pulled up shortly after the crash and spoke to Katie and Leandro.
He told the newspaper: 'They said the horses were galloping in front of them and suddenly just went up in the air. It must have happened very quickly.
'They said Leandro had time to slam on the brakes. They waited and the car got towed by another car to the farm. I saw them today and they seemed fine.'
Katie and Leandro flew into the Argentine capital Buenos Aires last Friday, before heading 400 miles north to Despeñaderos, located on the outskirts of the city of Cordoba.
Katie originally spent just four days in South America earlier this month before jetting back to the UK earlier than expected to sort out issues in her impending divorce from Alex Reid.
Leandro said at the time: 'We have to rush back to London again. It's something that came up at the last minute. It's nothing to do with Katie's divorce, it's work-related.

'The idea now is that Katie gets to know Buenos Aires a little. She loves what she's seen so far. She really likes everything.'
But after just eight days on British soil - during which she pulled out of plans to run the London Marathon - she jetted back to Buenos Aires with Leandro again.
Earlier in the week, Katie uploaded a series of romantic snaps she took with Leandro in Cordoba, Argentina, to Twitter, accompanied by Spanish musings on the region and her love for the 25-year-old.

Katie Price and Leandro Penna only have eyes for each other as they cuddle up at charity polo match

They only have eyes for each other: Katie Price and boyfriend Leandro Penna snuggle up on a haystack at a charity polo match in Argentina
She's never made a secret of all things equestrian, and even has her own speciliast clothing line for keen riders.
But, as Katie Price attended a charity polo match in Argentina yesterday, the horses appeared to be the last thing on her mind as she struggled to keep her eyes, and hands, off boyfriend Leandro Penna.
The 32-year-old model and her model beau snuggled up as they sat on a haystack in between matches at the event at Pompeya Polo, in the quiet town of Ashochinga.
Loved up: The pair kept their arms firmly around each other as they strolled around the venue
Wearing a pair of skinny jeans teamed with knee-high brown boots, white vest top and brown knitted jumper, Katie looked happy and relaxed as she strolled around the venue with her boyfriend.
And later in the day it seems the heat got too much for the mother-of-three and she took off her jumper to reveal her sheer white vest top underneath - unintentionally also revealed the polka dot bra she was wearing.
But while it is Katie who is the more well-known party in the relationship in the UK, Leandro is the star in his home country, and was bombarded with autograph requests from young fans as he took in the sights and scenes at the event.
Katie and Leandro flew into the Argentine capital Buenos Aires last Friday, before heading 400 miles north to Despeñaderos - located on the outskirts of the city of Cordoba.
Katie originally spent just four days in South America earlier this month before jetting back to the UK earlier than expected to sort out issues in her impending divorce from Alex Reid.
Leandro said at the time: 'We have to rush back to London again. It's something that came up at the last minute. It's nothing to do with Katie's divorce, it's work-related.
'We're flying back to London together on Friday and returning to Argentina again once we're done and then I'll take Katie to see my parents.
'The idea now is that Katie gets to know Buenos Aires a little. She loves what she's seen so far. She really likes everything.'
But after just eight days on British soil - during which she pulled out of plans to run the London Marathon - she jetted back to Buenos Aires with Leandro again.
Earlier in the week, Katie uploaded a series of romantic snaps she took with Leandro in Cordoba, Argentina yesterday to Twitter, accompanied by Spanish musings on the region and her love for the 25-year-old.
Katie then tweeted her appreciation to Elton John for throwing the post-Oscars bash where the pair met in Los Angeles.
She wrote: 'We are so compatible we can't thank Elton John and David Furnish enough.'
And it seems Katie's adventurous side has come out during her trip, as the pair even fit in a skydiving experience, which was filmed for her reality show by a camera crew.

Katie's second trip to Argentina comes ahead of her divorce from Reid.
The model and Reid - who split in January after 11 months of marriage - are expected to receive their decree nisi in two weeks, followed by a decree absolute six weeks later.
Meanwhile, Katie's first husband Peter Andre is in Cyprus with her three children, where the group are enjoying days out including visits to theme parks and local eateries.

Katie Price and Leandro Penna's whirlwind romance as they go sky-diving

'I can't look': Katie Price closes her eyes and hugs her knees as her tandem master prepares to land after jumping out of a plane at thousands of feet in Cordoba, Argentina
They've been walking around with their heads in the clouds since meeting at an Oscars party seven weeks ago.
And today, the whirlwind romance between Katie Price and Leandro Penna reached new heights - quite literally - as they jumped out of a plane thousands of feet in the air.
The glamour model, 32, and male model, 25, enjoyed tandem skydives above Penna's home province of Cordoba, Argentina.
Flying high: Price looked like she was enjoying herself as she soared over the green fields
Currently on holiday in the South American country with her latest love, Penna has been showing off the lush countryside.
So after enjoying leisurely lunches and horse-riding earlier this month, the couple decided to up the action with a skydive above the city of Alta Gracia - located in the north of the province of Cordoba - 20 miles north from Penna's hometown of Despeñaderos.
Jumping while tandem with a qualified instructor, Price and Penna would have enjoyed a freefall of between 15 and 45 minutes before the parachute was pulled, depending on what height they jumped out of the plane.
That was fun! Price looked thrilled when she finally landed safely on the ground
After landing back down to Earth, Price posted a photo on her Twitter page: 'This is me and Leo skydiving. Can't believe we did it.'
Once landing safely, the ecstatic pair were greeted by Penna's parents Hector and Mercedes, who appear to be getting on famously with the glamour model since meeting earlier this week.
While Price appeared to have a smooth landing, having hugged in her knees in preparation, Penna didn't look quite so prepared and landed on his backside.
A celebratory kiss: After skydiving separately, the couple were reunited on the ground

Goofing around: Price posted a photo of her holding her insurance waiver alongside her and Penna's tandem master in the hanger before taking off
