J O ACADEMY JOINS SALONS AND COLLEGES ACROSS THE UK TO SUPPORT GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL

This month, J O Academy joined John Frieda and some of hairdressing's biggest names to support HAIRraising – a new fundraising appeal that invites the hairdressing community to come together to help raise £1 million towards new operating theatres at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The operating theatres will be used to help children from all over the UK who require specialist neurosurgery.

J O Academy have organised a non-uniform day, week commencing 7th June and are planning to donate 50% of the salon proceeds taken in June 2010.

Karen Pymer, co-founder, said, "The hairdressing community is coming together to make a difference to children's lives by helping to build new operating theatres at Great Ormond Street Hospital. We're really delighted to show our support for such a fabulous cause.

"All of the team want to get behind HAIRraising and show we will go to any lengths to help these children."
