The team at a Bassingbourn hair salon have held a fundraising day to raise money for The Royal British Legion.
Jen Harper organised the Poppy Appeal fundraiser with her team at Harpers Hair, including senior stylist Julie Turner, on Friday.
On the day, men could get their hair cut for a donation to the Poppy Appeal – something that was taken up by Crow photographer Danny Loo.
The team – who dressed up as landgirls for the day – also offered cakes for a donation.
Julie told the Crow: “We have collected £267.71 in donations from the wonderful locals in Bassingbourn.
“We have had a great day with fantastic support and are very proud to donate to the war heroes from then and now.”
