Whanganui Chamber of Commerce president Raewyn Overton-Stuart is a changed woman.
Together with Mary Morris, a visiting teacher for Ms Overton-Stuart's business, PAUA early childhood home based care service, she sacrificed her hair on Wednesday night in aid of Leukaemia and Blood Cancers NZ.
The close shave was delivered by Jess from Pure Hair Spa.
The women had set a target of $10,000 for a complete blade shave and $7000 for a number 1 clipper cut.
When it came time to chop the locks on Wednesday night, they had jointly raised just under $3500 so decided to go ahead with the number 1 in expectation of further donations.
