Hide AdDan said: “It took off extremely well and I decided to sign into a premises which is only a few doors down from my salon.
"I have been hairdressing for years and I spent time in London working with celebrities so I have got a lot of contacts who have given me things for free like props.
"We have already got nearly 2,000 followers within two weeks so it has just taken off. We have booked out events for the next 12 months which is really exciting.
“I don’t just want to give one donation to the charities, I want to work with them. I want to see them have furniture being delivered and I want to make a difference for the next five years at least.”
