AN OXFORDSHIRE salon has joined forces with a national charity to support those affected by medical hair loss.

The Marvellous Hair Company in Goring-on-Thames, south Oxfordshire, has teamed up with the mynewhair charity, which provides advice and helps clients regain their confidence.

The salon has completed the charity's Level two training and will now provide a wig-customisation service, which transforms an 'obvious wig' into an individual's 'new hair'.

Services include a free wig consultation and fitting, with the cutting of the wig charged at the salon's usual prices.

Loz Hawkins, salon owner of the Marvellous Hair Company, said: “We are proud to be able to work with this wonderful organisation and to bring this service to our community.

"As a salon we understand the tremendous affect hair loss can have both emotionally and financially and therefore want to support our clients the very best we can.

“For many people their hair is an important part of who they are and for those who experience hair loss it can be a traumatic time."

mynewhair founded the UK's first national hairdressers training programme and trains 960 hairdressers and 835 salons across the UK and Ireland.
