Hairdressers raise funds for breast cancer awareness

Salon across the UK did their bit to raise money during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

Ramsay and Johnson in Sunderland raised £500 by donating all staff tips for a week, and client donations. For the whole week, the salon was decked in pink bows and all staff members wore pink.

Staff at Sue Jane Hairdressing in Horley, Surrey raised money through a range of initiatives, including cakes sales, plus a variety of client competition, including 'match the baby photo to the stylist', 'guess the number of sweets in the jar' and 'name the pink banana!'

Yorkshire-based salon group Goodys held a breast cancer awareness day, with clients asked to sponsor staff for wearing pink.

Gary Hedley Hairdressing in Newcastle's Eldon Square, held six fundraising days during the month with themes including the 1980s and Halloween. Pink champagne and cakes have been available all month and raffles have taken place regularly, with Pink ghds as prizes.
