ELLEE’S HAIR DESIGN’S FUNDRAISING FASHION SHOW RETURNS FOR A SECOND YEAR

An Aberdeen hair salon is to host a fundraising hair and fashion show early next month to raise funds for a local children’s charity.

The second annual Ellee’s Hair Design, Hair & Fashion Show, in aid of Befriend A Child, will take place at the Copthorne Hotel, on Saturday, October 08, from 7.30pm for 8pm.

The event will feature a selection of modern hairstyles by Ellee’s as well as the latest fashion and designs from local stores, It’s Darling, De-Zire and Pure Man. Northsound DJ, Yazz, will provide the musical entertainment.

Lee McKay, of Ellee’s Hair Design, says he is hopeful that next month’s event will prove even more successful than last year’s inaugural show which saw more than £2,000 raised for Befriend A Child – which provides a one to one befriending service to vulnerable and underprivileged children in Aberdeen City and Shire.

He said: “We were all really pleased with how last year’s event went and are confident that this year’s show will be even bigger and better. The theme of the evening is ‘Hair Inspired by Fashion’ and we are hopeful that we can attract a large audience to see the latest trends and fashions and raise funds for an extremely good cause at the same time.”

Tickets for the event – including an arrival drink and a goodie bag containing a range of gifts and hair and beauty discount vouchers – are priced at £15 and are available now from Ellee’s Hair Design, on Holburn Street, or by calling 01224 213 029 or e-mailing info@elleeshairdesign.co.uk

Established in 1975, Befriend A Child is Scotland's oldest befriending service for disadvantaged children. Working with social workers, care homes, health visitors, and other charities, Befriend A Child supports children aged 4-16 and continues to work with them up until the age of 18, if required.

The scheme became a registered charity in 1991 and in 2010 worked with more than 170 children in Aberdeen City - its largest number to date. It has recently expanded its services into Aberdeenshire for the first time.
