Summary

"The day Emily Brown opens her very own beauty salon, she couldn't be happier. This has been her dream since she was a little girl. And she's even more pleased when her business starts to take off, especially after a celebrity endorsement from reality TV star Carina Lees." "But even with the Z-Iist celeb's support, things start to go mysteriously wrong, and it soon becomes clear that someone's got it in for her." "Are Carina's favours as false as her hair extensions? The search for the truth will lead to all out Spa Wars."--BOOK JACKET.
