Salon Director says goodbye to his locks !

Nottingham based Keith Hall Hairdressing salon director, Sean McMenamin is saying goodbye to his expertly styled locks and opting for a head shave - all to raise funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

The countdown is on for the city centre salon team where the staff are running a raffle to see who gets the job of shaving Sean’s head on Saturday July 14 at the Castle Gate salon.

Sean is out to raise a bumper amount for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, and is appealing for clients, friends and local businesses to sponsor him.

Sean said: “As a group we employ a high proportion of women and around 80% of our clients are female. Breast cancer claims the lives of over 1,000 women a month in the UK alone and is the number one health concern for women in the UK . This is why we have committed to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

“Across the group we have donated £20,000 to the charity and on top of that have committed to a year of fundraising activities. All of our salon teams will be doing a range of fundraising events within their own local communities. We’re also planning some fundraising fashion shows, with all the proceeds going to Breakthrough.”

If you’d like to sponsor Sean call 0115 947 2332 or call in and give your pledge to the reception desk team.

Keith Hall Hairdressing’s Castlegate salon will sell Breakthrough’s charity pins – including the iconic pink ribbon pin - and help to promote Breakthrough’s breast awareness message which encourages women to show their breasts some TLC: Touch their breasts and feel for anything unusual. Look for changes and be aware of their shape and texture and check anything unusual with their doctor and chat with friends if they are worried.

Chris Askew, head of fundraising at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: “We’re delighted about the partnership between Breakthrough and Keith Hall Hairdressing. It’s great news that they are not only donating £20,000 but are also planning a busy year of fundraising activities too.”
