GENEROUS hairdressers and beauticians in Shipston are donating the money they receive in their salon during a special fundraising day to the Midlands Air Ambulance.

L'Academie of Hair and Beauty, run by Sylvie Brown, is holding a 'hairathon' event on Good Friday, April 3.

Hairdresser Bea Payne said they were hoping to raise more than £1,700 for the air ambulance by donating all the money they receive that day from customers to the charity. The salon is also holding a raffle and have been supported by local businesses who have donated prizes.

All the staff are working for free that day.
