An Arnold salon is to hold a special charity day in memory of a “dear friend and colleague” who lost her battle with ovarian cancer earlier this year.
KH Hair and Beauty are organising a ‘Pamper with a Purpose’ event will be held at Nuffield Health Gym on Plains Road in Mapperley on Monday, September 22. The team will be offering blow dries and styling for a small donation, with all proceeds going to Target Ovarian Cancer.
Liz O’Neill was just 62-years-old when she died from the disease in April. Having worked at KH Hair for 30 years, firstly as a receptionist and later a director, she had retired in April 2023 but remained a close friend of the salon team.
Salon manager, Helen Stilwell, said: “Liz had an incredible way of bringing people together and creating a positive, supportive environment.
“Liz was not only our director, but also a very good friend,” she explains. Taking part in this event is a way to honour her strength, her kindness, and to help raise awareness and support for others facing ovarian cancer.”
Target Ovarian Cancer is the UK’s leading ovarian cancer charity. Together with the ovarian cancer community, the charity is transforming the future for everyone in the UK who is living with ovarian cancer and thousands more who are yet to be diagnosed. The charity says it will not stop until it has achieved the goal of doubling survival from ovarian cancer by 2050.
Salon director, Dawn Bramhall, said the team were all extremely shocked and saddened to learn of Liz’s sudden passing in April.
“She was our friend and colleague for over 30 years,” she said.
“She was such a kind and considerate person who always greeted our clients with a warm smile and she is still very much missed by all of us.
“We really hope people will come along, feel fabulous and support an amazing charity.”
The team will be on hand from 7.30am until 4pm.
Booking is not necessary and everyone is welcome.
