After The Daily Record revealed she was working at the barbers - which is located just a mile from the flat where Miss Milne was murdered - Mackinnon was told to leave. Owner Graham Stephen, who had been a friend of Miss Milne, said Mackinnon had given them the fake name 'Sherylleigh' and has not told them about her 'shocking' past. Stuart Jack (pictured left), then aged 22, was given a life sentence for the bloody murder after a court heard he slit Miss Milne's (pictured right) throat and then attempted to dismember her bodyHe told The Mirror: 'She is no longer with us.

You are the weakest link.'The court previously watched a video showing Jack and Buchan discussing the attack. Jack was filmed saying he was glad Miss Milne was dead Judge Lord Woolman said the victim was subjected to a ferocious, sustained attack.

Originally called Le Petit Salon, Veronique’s new hairdressing studio was later named La Hair Boutique and is currently located at Plaça Regomir, 5 in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Boasting 12th century stone walls and wooden beams, the street-level salon exudes a warm & friendly atmosphere that has been carefully enhanced by Veronique’s creative spirit.
Based in Barcelona, French hairdresser Veronique Karakachian has been welcoming clients at her charming, unisex salon since 2003. Originally, Veronique was sent to the Catalan capital to establish the first and only salon for the prestigious Toni & Guy and bring the latest trends in cuts and hair color.Veronique and her team have won over a loyal roster of clients by offering a personalized, holistic approach to haircuts, hair treatment, colour, styling and maintenance tips. Having arrived from London in 2001 to establish the first and only Toni & Guy salon, Veronique embraced the chance to bring the latest hairstyling trends to the vibrant Mediterranean city. It was an important moment in a journey that began in Aix-en-Provence in the 90’s when she worked at her father’s hairdressing salon. In 1998 she relocated to Reunion Islands to work in an important hair salon where she was able to expand her repertoire of cutting and styling techniques, working with all types of hair, textures and colours.
After a year she went off to Germany to join a salon in Nuremberg, followed by a stint in Aberdeen, Scotland, before accepting an offer by the renowned Toni & Guy hairdressing chain in London. The international group’s advanced technique and training methods blended perfectly with Veronique’s innate ability and passion. For her it was a rewarding experience that forever changed her views on professional haircutting and colour. After almost two years in London and Brighton, Veronique was assigned to Barcelona, Spain, to set up the first Toni & Guy salon in the city. She also traveled extensively as professional trainer across UK, France and Germany, becoming Style Director for the award-winning Anthony Mascolo TIGI Haircare brand. The challenge and privilege of training stylists across Europe while handling the TIGI collection took her on 4-year adventure which included working for fashion shows, photo shoots, workshops, and live demonstrations at tradeshows and conferences in venues such as the Barcelona FIRA and Salon de la Coiffure in Paris.
By 2003 Veronique knew it was time to go solo and put her expertise and talent to the test. As freelance hairdresser she rented spaces in various salons around Barcelona’s emblematic Gothic Quarter. In 2010 Veronique finally found the perfect location, a coup de coeur, and inaugurated her new studio La Hair Boutique at Plaça Regomir 5, where she welcomes local and visiting clients. Personalised, multilingual service, advanced cutting and colour techniques. A refreshingly urban style with a French twist!Vintage 70’s white wash basins, restored Spanish chairs, antique mirrors mixed with sleek styling chairs and equipment.
