Mario krankl raises €5,000 for fighting leukaemia

Austrian hairdresser Mario Krankl raised €5,000 for the Fighting Leukaemia charity, hosting a pop-up salon at the Electric Love Festival. The Salzburg-based stylist created a mini salon at the three-day festival, which takes place in the picturesque Salzkammergut lake district region. Revellers enjoyed dry styling, braiding and even total restyles at the salon space, with everyone encouraged to donate to a collection box and raise funds for the charitable foundation. Fighting Leukaemia is the official charity of the Alternative Hair foundation and, this week, Mario presented his donations to the founder of Alternative Hair, Tony Rizzo, and president Anthony Mascolo. Tony said: "We are very thankful to Mario Krankl and his team for their hard work and effort to raise such an impressive amount for the charity. Mario presented at the 30th anniversary Alternative Hair Show held at the Royal Albert Hall. For more information about this year's show and how you can get involved, visit www.alternativehair.org
