Cheeky Burnham-On-Sea Christmas card raises smiles and charity cash!
A Burnham-On-Sea hairdressing salon has been raising smiles and money for charity with a daring Christmas card featuring its male customers.
A total of £1,800 has been raised from the sale of the cheeky cards, which show eleven plucky customers at JSB Hair in Berrow Road.
Justine Brown, owner of the salon, said she was keen to do do something “attention-grabbing” to raise funds for charity this year.
“We wanted a Christmas card that was eye-catching and original without being offensive,” she told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“We’ve all seen the film Calendar Girls and this is our twist on it! I invited 22 of our male customers to come along and although just 11 turned up on the day, the card works well.”
“It was a light-hearted, fun atmosphere at the photo shoot and no-one felt uncomfortable at all.”
The photo was taken by Bridgwater photographer Phillip Parsons and the money raised is going to Frenchay After Burns Childrens Club and Ehlers-Danlos Support Group.
The cash came from both the sale of the cards and an annual charity hair and fashion show held at the Webbington Hotel.
