It was a case of hair today, gone tomorrow, for four Whangarei Spotlight staff who shaved their heads in support of cancer.
Spotlight store manager Hales Lawrence, department team leader Wendy Jarrett, staff member Chianne Stevenson and dispatch leader Angela Perrin all lost their locks at the store's VIP evening on Thursday, with proceeds raised going to the Cancer Society.
"It's very cold. It's weird. But it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be, given the suspense leading up to it," Ms Perrin said.
The evening raised an estimated $3000, and to celebrate last Friday Ms Perrin had her head razored, and then painted with daffodils by local artist Kelly Jelavich in store.
"The [barber] had never razored a woman's head in the 52 years he'd been barbering for," she laughed.
