“OMG! I can’t believe it!”  said Avril

George rang me on my birthday, to tell me I was the lucky winner of The Cutting Rooms Competition.  I have long hair which I colour regularly so this was an amazing prize, especially as I had a choice of products as well!

Kerry my stylist and the team at Abington are really professional and friendly, however I never dreamt that I would get the chance to see them so often.

After a lovely afternoon of pampering and preparing for my photo shoot I was whisked off to a studio to show off my new curly hair do.

Kerry, George and the team made me feel really comfortable and after some initial nerves I really enjoyed the photo shoot and have been really excited about seeing the photo’s.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you, I really can’t quite believe how lucky I have been and am really looking forward to the year ahead having great hair and a great hairdresser.  Avril xxx

It’s for a little girl who was  born with Cerebral Palsy, which affects the ‘motor’ part of her brain. The muscles in Francesca’s legs are stiff and she cannot walk unaided.

We were introduced to Francesca by her loving Auntie Kirsty Myres and being part of a group of girls and we are all soft as anything (as you can imagine), we are trying our best to raise awareness for this little girl and her family. We are hoping you all feel the same and help as much as you can.

Francesca is now aged eight and attends St. Gregory’s School. She has recently been accepted for major spinal surgery in the USA this summer which will cost around about £40.000. The surgery (which is not available in the UK ) involves cutting the “bad” nerve fibres in the spine eliminating the stiffness and giving Francesca much greater range of movement. Francesca will then be able to walk with sticks after surgery. Her sitting, standing and balance will improve and without the tightness in her legs she will be more comfortable.

So it’s all pretty amazing stuff. The Cutting Rooms have decided to to launch a raffle, in which you can win a hamper of Redken Products. It’s a pound a strip, and you can buy as many as you want. We are also selling tickets for a Duck Race at Brampton Halt/ Chapel Brampton Pocket Park on 19th June. Each numbered ticket corresponds to a duck that will be entered into the race on the day. These are £2 each, and also makes a great day out for the whole family

Thank you for reading and we hope you can help us and supporting our charity!

A very lucky lady called Averyl Baldwin, won the most desirable prize a woman could ever want. She won a massive £500 of free hairdressing to be used in a year. The prize doesn’t just stop at haircuts, Averyl will be picked up in a Porsche and whisked away for a professional photo shoot.

Four judges…. One Winner! Who do you think has the best hair?

It seems a life time ago since Alexander won The X Factor, but it’s finally back. Whilst the X Factor hopefuls audition in front of the judges and a huge  crowd, The Cutting Rooms have decided to judge the judges hair! As they crush peoples dreams, we are going to knock them down a peg or two by giving them a taste of their own medicine!

Well then I think we should start with Simon: 

I sort of don’t know what to say. He always has this weird centre partin thing doing on. Well it’s just a line going down the middle of his head. It’s really bad! Simon has a little but of a Frankenstein look, the square head look going on! It’s really not a good one. He must have it coloured because he is always really dark and never has any cheeky greys and lets be honest he must be getting on a bit! I don’t like and if he came into my salon i would not have a clue how to change it, because when you look at Simon’s pictures his hair is all the same!

Then there is Louis:

Well he is the same situation as Simon… really bad hair! Except from Louis is completely grey and receding. He looks the same in all his pictures! Bless him!

Cheryl:

I love Cheryl Cole! Her hair is amazing. She always looks good, well looking back she definitely has aged well! Cheryl has got beautiful long hair and recently i saw a picture of her with red hair. She can actually pull off everything! It’s really not fair! I think her hair suits her better when it is long, curly and when it’s a rich brown in colour! I wasn’t to keen when she had a big blunt fringe, but what do you think?

Danni:

I watched the first night if the X Factor, and I’ve got to say Danni is looking hot with her bob! It’s really nice, i was quite shocked. I think it really suits her, not like that blonde picture. Yuk. Danni suits her hair darker, it brings her eyes and all her features out. Specially now her bob sits on her jaw line, you can definitely tell she has high cheek bones.

Right then, for me Simon and Louis don’t really stand a chance! However, it is going to be close between Cheryl and Danni!

I think the winner is Danni! Just because I had my hair cut like hers last week!
