Barbara Nott-Bower lost her locks during the hair-raising event at Burnham’s Black Rock Vet Surgery in Victoria Street on Wednesday (September 1st).
The event was watched by a crowd of supportive colleagues as barber Mike Lowe, who currently works at Hair of The Dog on Burnham High Street, completed the task in less than five minutes.
Barbara, who was prompted to do the fundraiser after a friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, told Burnham-On-Sea.com afterwards that she was “delighted” with her new look.
“It’s a bit cold without hair, but my discomfort is minor compared to those suffering with cancer,” she added. “I am very happy to have raised over £600 for the Breast Cancer Campaign and grateful to Mike for doing the cut without charge.”
