HAIRraising’s campaign to raise funds for children’s hospitals is gaining momentum. Here founder John Frieda visits Boston in the US to support the initiative on a global scale.

entire month of May, participating salons continued to raise funds by inviting clients to make a small donation to their bill. All salons taking part in the states will be eligible to win some amazing prizes, donated by industry heavyweights such as Sally Hershberger, Orlando Pita, Oribe and Nick Arrojo. And here in the UK, the prizes are even

bigger. To encourage salons across the country – that means YOU – industry names are offering once in a lifetime opportunities. If you or anyone on your team wants to spend a week observing Daniel Galvin and his salon team, then get involved. Likewise, if you’ve always dreamed of assisting James Brown while he styles supermodel Kate Moss’ hair, then register today! Other prizes include

lunch with Vidal Sassoon and a trip to LA to work in John Frieda’s salon for a week. Helping John with his UK campaign are

Andrew Collinge, Errol Douglas, Andrew Barton, Nicky Clarke and Richard and Hellen Ward, plus many more. And you can play just as big a part. Salons can raise money by organising fundraising events and by also inviting clients to add £1 to their bill from now until September. Customers can even text a donation by texting the word HAIR to 81400 and £1.50 (minus text costs) will go directly to the appeal. “We want salons across the UK to get

behind HAIRraising and show we will go to any lengths to help these children,” says John.
