Alexander James Hair and Beauty is holding the launch of its new salon to raise funds and awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer.

There will be a prize raffle with some fabulous luxury hair care prizes at the Hagley Road salon throughout Saturday.

Alex Beard, from the salon, said: "We have the well-established LB Robinson singing for your entertainment.

"LB Robinson has been on local radio, appeared on a very well-known TV show and has a voice that will make you melt." 

He added: "We are offering some great deals for hair and beauty services when booked on the day and aim to raise as much awareness and money for this important cause.

"Ovarian cancer can be devastating. Far too many women are diagnosed too late, once the cancer has already spread, making treatment more difficult. When a woman is diagnosed at the earliest stage, her chance of surviving ovarian cancer for five years or more doubles from just 46 per cent to more than 90 per cent. With your support, we can get more women diagnosed sooner and save lives.

"That’s why Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month is so important; and Alexander James is taking every opportunity to get as many people involved as possible in raising awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer and raise vital funds for Target Ovarian Cancer’s work in helping women to live longer and better lives."
