A BIT of drizzle failed to keep hair conscious residents away from a pay-what-you-feel hair cut that raised more than £800 for a children’s charity.

On Saturday MR Barbers in Loughton dedicated its snipping and baking skills to a good cause with a charity day for Save the Children.

Every haircut, shave and fade was done for free, with customers donating at the end of their makeover.

Through the cuts and a selection of cakes for sale, £809.37 was raised for Save the Children, an international non-governmental organisation that promotes children rights.

Sam Prior, founder and co-owner said: “We were thrilled to be running the event in aid of Save the Children.

“Knowing the money we raised will be used to improve the lives of vulnerable children throughout the UK is the best part of all.

“This is just one of many events that MR Barbers have organised to raise money for national charities. We will be holding another fundraising event at MR. Barbers in Bishop’s Stortford to raise funds and awareness for Air Ambulance on February 18.”
